March 2010 in “Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology” MicroRNAs are crucial in controlling cell signaling, affecting cancer and tissue regeneration.
480 citations,
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.
277 citations,
June 2003 in “The journal of investigative dermatology. Symposium proceedings/The Journal of investigative dermatology symposium proceedings” Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions control hair growth cycles through specific molecular signals.

January 2012 in “Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology” Stem cell offspring help control their parent stem cells, affecting tissue health, healing, and cancer.
134 citations,
December 2018 in “Dermatology and Therapy” Some vitamins and minerals like vitamin D and iron can help with certain types of hair loss, but more research is needed for others.
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.
120 citations,
