October 2001 in “EMBO journal” Overexpressing follistatin in mice delays wound healing and reduces scar size.
23 citations,
July 2007 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Hair follicle bulge cells don't help skin regrow after glucocorticoid damage; interfollicular epidermis cells do.
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.
70 citations,
January 2014 in “International review of cell and molecular biology” Keratin proteins are crucial for healthy skin, but mutations can cause skin disorders with no effective treatments yet.
26 citations,
May 2014 in “BioEssays” Using neurohormones to control keratin can lead to new skin disease treatments.
13 citations,
July 2020 in “World journal of stem cells” Vitamin D and calcium are important for skin stem cell function and wound healing.
7 citations,
March 2020 in “PloS one” α-parvin is necessary for skin and hair growth and for the correct orientation of skin cells.
6 citations,
December 2011 in “Nature” The circadian clock in skin cells controls their growth and rest cycles.
