April 2016 in “Journal of experimental botany” RACB in barley is crucial for cell polarity and nucleus positioning, aiding fungal infection.
139 citations,
August 2018 in “Development” The niche environment controls stem cell behavior and plasticity, which is important for tissue health and repair.
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.
116 citations,
