May 2015 in “Cell Stem Cell” Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
88 citations,
December 2018 in “Advanced Healthcare Materials” Layer-by-Layer self-assembly is promising for biomedical uses like tissue engineering and cell therapy, but challenges remain in material safety and process optimization.
77 citations,
July 2020 in “Cell” Muscles and nerves that cause goosebumps also help control hair growth.
71 citations,
October 2008 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” HFMs can help study hair growth and test potential hair growth drugs.
56 citations,
May 2017 in “Nature Cell Biology” Hair can regrow after certain stem cells are lost because other stem cells can take over their role.
52 citations,
May 2015 in “PLOS Genetics” miR-22, a type of microRNA, controls hair growth and its overproduction can cause hair loss, while its absence can speed up hair growth.
51 citations,
September 2020 in “Cell Metabolism” Glutamine metabolism affects hair stem cell maintenance and their ability to change back to stem cells.
50 citations,
