February 2006 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” Terbinafine is more effective than itraconazole for toenail fungus, especially in older patients, and debridement improves its effectiveness.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The research updated the skin cell profile, finding new skin cell markers and showing fibroblasts' key role in skin health.
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.
13 citations,
May 2005 in “Seminars in Plastic Surgery” Follicular Cell Implantation might become a new treatment for hair loss and could lead to advances in organ regeneration.
April 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Tumor cell adhesion is linked to higher risk of SLN metastasis and melanoma recurrence, and a model including these factors predicts these outcomes better than one with just clinical data.
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.
February 2024 in “Skin research and technology” The research suggests that immune cells and a specific type of cell death called ferroptosis are involved in Frontal fibrosis alopecia.
7 citations,
October 2000 in “Allergo Journal” Stress may affect hair growth by influencing hair follicle development and could contribute to hair loss.
2 citations,
