      The Pathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecias

      research The Pathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecias

      150 citations, October 2010 in “The American Journal of Pathology”
      The document concludes that more research is needed to better understand and treat primary cicatricial alopecias, and suggests a possible reclassification based on molecular pathways.
      WNT Signaling in Disease

      research WNT Signaling in Disease

      144 citations, August 2019 in “Cells”
      The WNT signaling pathway is important in many diseases and targeting it could offer new treatments.
      Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia

      research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia

      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.
      Epithelial Skin Biology: Stem Cells and Epidermal Homeostasis

      research Epithelial Skin Biology: Stem Cells and Epidermal Homeostasis

      118 citations, January 2016 in “Current Topics in Developmental Biology”
      The document concludes that while significant progress has been made in understanding skin biology and stem cells, more research is needed to fully understand their interactions with their environment.
      Targeting the Wnt Pathways for Therapies

      research Targeting the Wnt Pathways for Therapies

      112 citations, January 2014 in “Molecular and cellular therapies”
      Blocking the Wnt pathway could lead to new treatments for cancer and tissue repair but requires careful development to avoid side effects.
