November 2005 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” IFN-γ and IL-2 are important for T cell activation in hair loss in mice.
March 2024 in “Frontiers in genetics” Different types of fibroblasts play specific roles in wound healing and cancer, which could help improve treatments.
480 citations,
August 2014 in “Nature Biotechnology” Changing the environment around stem cells could help tissue repair, but it's hard to be precise and avoid side effects.
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.
66 citations,
July 2015 in “Journal of Molecular Biology” The document concludes that for hair and feather growth, it's better to target the environment around stem cells than the cells themselves.
59 citations,
March 2020 in “Journal of Biomedical Science” Understanding how hair follicle stem cells work can help find new ways to prevent hair loss and promote hair growth.
22 citations,
August 2021 in “Frontiers in medicine” Immune cells in Hidradenitis suppurativa become more inflammatory and may be important for treatment targets.
11 citations,
March 2020 in “Immunology” Human prenatal skin develops an immune network early on that helps with skin formation and healing without scarring.
August 2024 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” Androgenetic alopecia involves immune cell disruptions, especially increased CD4+ T cells around hair follicles.
