August 2014 in “Nature Biotechnology” Changing the environment around stem cells could help tissue repair, but it's hard to be precise and avoid side effects.
129 citations,
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.
57 citations,

11 citations,
May 2018 in “Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B” New materials help control stem cell growth and specialization for medical applications.
3 citations,
January 2018 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science” Hair stiffness increased by 13.2% after caffeine treatment, validating the Stiffness-Angle Law as an effective measurement method.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The conclusion is that a new method combining magnetic tweezers and traction force microscopy may help understand skin cell interactions and diseases.
76 citations,
June 2018 in “EMBO Reports” YAP and TAZ proteins are necessary for the development of two types of skin cancer.
63 citations,
January 1992 in “Experimental Neurology” Chickens exposed to loud noise can quickly regain hearing mostly due to repair of the tectorial membrane, not just hair cell regeneration.
