February 2017 in “The American journal of dermatopathology/American journal of dermatopathology” A man with a skin nodule was diagnosed with a rare skin condition called cutaneous focal mucinosis, which can be confused with other skin cancers.
January 2019 in “Advances in stem cells and their niches” Skin health and repair depend on the signals between skin stem cells and their surrounding cells.
April 2018 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Skin heals with scars because only one type of fibroblast is used, not a mix.
April 2017 in “Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open” Fetal scalp cells have more regenerative genes than adult cells, and decellularized muscle matrix is better for muscle repair than commercial alternatives.
December 2015 in “Focus on catalysts” Pomiferin may improve skin and scalp health by boosting important protein expression.
211 citations,
November 2018 in “Nature Cell Biology” Stem cells help heal skin wounds by moving and changing roles, working with other cells, and needing more research on their activation and behavior.
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.
