July 2016 in “Current Opinion in Cell Biology” New techniques have enhanced our understanding of how stem cells function and the role of mutations in aging tissues, which may influence future cancer therapies.
68 citations,
December 2011 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Sox2-positive dermal papilla cells have unique characteristics and contribute more to skin and hair follicle formation than Sox2-negative cells.
37 citations,
November 2017 in “Medical Sciences” Melanoma's complexity requires personalized treatments due to key genetic mutations and tumor-initiating cells.
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.
10 citations,
