research Stem Cells and the Niche: A Dynamic Duo
Stem cell niches are crucial for regulating stem cell behavior and tissue health, and their decline can impact aging and cancer.
research Quantitative Single-Cell Approaches to Stem Cell Research
New single-cell analysis techniques are improving our understanding of stem cells and could help in treating diseases.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
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.
research Stem Cells Tightly Regulate Dead Cell Clearance to Maintain Tissue Fitness
Stem cells help remove dead cells to keep tissues healthy by balancing cell replacement and clearance.
research Involvement of Follicular Stem Cells in Forming Not Only the Follicle but Also the Epidermis
Hair follicle stem cells can form both hair follicles and skin.
research Narrowband UVB Treatment Induces Expression of WNT7B, WNT10B, and TCF7L2 in Psoriasis Skin
Narrowband UVB treatment increases certain gene expressions in psoriasis skin and improves symptoms.
research Role of Stem Cells in Skin Maintenance, Regeneration, and Repair: Focus on Epidermis and Pilosebaceous Units
The document concluded that stem cells are crucial for skin repair, regeneration, and may help in developing advanced skin substitutes.
research MicroRNA-214 Controls Skin and Hair Follicle Development by Modulating the Activity of the Wnt Pathway
MicroRNA-214 is important for skin and hair growth because it affects the Wnt pathway.
research Stimulation of the Follicular Bulge LGR5+ and LGR6+ Stem Cells with the Gut-Derived Human Alpha Defensin 5 Results in Decreased Bacterial Presence, Enhanced Wound Healing, and Hair Growth from Tissues Devoid of Adnexal Structures
