September 2014 in “Stem cell reports” BLIMP1 is essential for skin maintenance but not for defining sebaceous gland progenitors.
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.
April 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Stem cells can create hair follicles, potentially treating permanent hair loss, and healthy skin and hair depend on mitochondrial function and special fats.
April 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Blood cells turned into stem cells can become skin cells similar to normal ones, potentially helping in skin therapies.
1 citations,
