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.
205 citations,
August 2007 in “Experimental Cell Research” Stem cell niches are crucial for regulating stem cell renewal and differentiation, and understanding them can help in developing regenerative therapies.
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.
124 citations,
February 2018 in “Nature Reviews Genetics” Stem cell plasticity is crucial for wound healing but can also contribute to cancer development.
103 citations,
November 2014 in “Journal of Cell Biology” MicroRNA-214 is important for skin and hair growth because it affects the Wnt pathway.
78 citations,
June 2013 in “Science” Mice without the Sept4/ARTS gene heal wounds better due to more stem cells that don't die easily.
63 citations,
November 2012 in “Journal of Cellular Biochemistry” Runx1 affects hair growth, cancer development, and autoimmune diseases in epithelial tissues.
61 citations,
September 2008 in “Stem Cells” Most hair follicle stem cells do not protect their DNA by dividing it unevenly.
