May 2025 in “Cellular Oncology” This study suggests that dual inhibition of P-cadherin and c-Met could be an effective treatment strategy for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma by targeting resistant tumor cells.
April 2024 in “Cell death and differentiation” This study discusses how different modes of regulated cell death in keratinocytes affect skin stem cell niches, and their role in skin inflammation, injury repair, and cancer, based on findings from human dermatological conditions and experimental mouse models.
December 2023 in “Communications biology” This study found that inhibiting the HEDGEHOG-GLI1 pathway could reduce keloid size and gene expression, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target for keloid pathogenesis.
April 2023 in “Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (Universidade de São Paulo)” This study concluded that mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue harvested using laser-assisted liposuction with selective photo-stimulation are as effective and low-risk for cell therapy as those obtained through conventional liposuction, based on their differentiation potential, cellular proliferation, and cytokine expression.
The study found that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells obtained via laser-assisted liposuction with selective photo-stimulation are comparable in differentiation potential and tumorigenic risk to those from conventional liposuction for cell therapy applications.
March 2021 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that type 2 immunity, especially involving ILC2 cells, helps maintain skin homeostasis by regulating the proliferation and community stability of hair follicle epithelial cells in the presence of Demodex mites.
