January 2018 in “Stem cell biology and regenerative medicine” The conclusion is that the nuclear lamina and LINC complex in skin cells respond to mechanical signals, affecting gene expression and cell differentiation, which is important for skin health and can impact skin diseases.
128 citations,
August 2015 in “Cell Stem Cell” Damage to skin releases dsRNA, which activates TLR3 and helps in skin and hair follicle regeneration.
77 citations,
March 2014 in “Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine” Fat cells are important for healthy skin, hair growth, and healing, and changes in these cells can affect skin conditions and aging.
293 citations,
November 2011 in “Nature” The circadian clock affects skin stem cell behavior, impacting aging and cancer risk.
