January 2018 in “Open journal of stomatology” Tongue cancer cells show more plectin-1 than non-cancer cells, but both have similar levels of trichohyalin.
October 2021 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Desmoglein 3 is important for keeping hair follicle stem cells inactive and maintaining their special properties.
September 2022 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” The Kras mutation changes normal cell signals, leading to disrupted tissue structure and potential cancer.
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.
January 2020 in “Mastology” Flow cytometry was effective in diagnosing metastatic breast cancer in a bone marrow sample.
66 citations,
April 1995 in “The journal of cell biology/The Journal of cell biology” A new protein was made to detect specific skin cell growth receptors and worked in normal skin but not in skin cancer cells.
