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.
111 citations,
January 2007 in “Seminars in cell & developmental biology” Hair, teeth, and mammary glands develop similarly at first but use different genes later.
86 citations,
May 2008 in “Cytokine & growth factor reviews” TNF family proteins are crucial for the development of skin features like hair, teeth, and mammary glands.
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.
55 citations,

51 citations,
July 2010 in “Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism” Prolactin may play a significant role in skin and hair health and could be a target for treating skin and hair disorders.
50 citations,
January 2016 in “The FEBS journal” RANK is a key target in breast cancer treatment due to its role in tumor growth and bone metastasis.
43 citations,
January 2011 in “Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery” Stem cells have great potential for improving wound healing, but more research is needed to find the best types and ways to use them.
41 citations,
September 2012 in “Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences” MicroRNAs play a crucial role in skin and hair health, affecting everything from growth to aging, and could potentially be used in treating skin diseases.
