January 2017 in “Science” Some wound-healing cells can turn into fat cells around new hair growth in mice.
April 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Removing REDD1 in mice increases skin fat by making fat cells larger and more numerous.
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.
April 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” BRG1 is essential for skin cells to move and heal wounds properly.
218 citations,
October 2013 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America” Mice lacking the PPARγ gene in their fat cells had almost no fat tissue, severe metabolic problems, and abnormal development of other fat-related tissues.
April 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” New vitamin D3 forms need the vitamin D receptor to reduce fibrosis in human cells.
9 citations,
May 2021 in “Immunological Reviews” Different types of fibroblasts play various roles in kidney repair and aging, and may affect chronic kidney disease outcomes.
January 2023 in “Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy” Low oxygen conditions improve how well certain stem cells from embryos can make hair grow longer and faster.
April 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” DPP4-positive fibroblasts play a major role in producing proteins that lead to skin fibrosis.
April 2023 in “Dentistry” Baby teeth stem cells can potentially grow organs and treat diseases.
46 citations,
June 2015 in “American Journal Of Pathology” Diabetes causes lasting cell dysfunctions, leading to serious complications even after blood sugar is controlled.
April 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Fractional photothermolysis helps wounds heal with minimal scarring.
106 citations,
November 2014 in “Cell Stem Cell” New single-cell analysis techniques are improving our understanding of stem cells and could help in treating diseases.
1 citations,
May 2017 in “InTech eBooks” Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
