1308 citations,
March 1998 in “Journal of bone and mineral research” The vitamin D receptor is crucial for bone health and affects various body systems, with mutations potentially leading to disease.
7 citations,
November 2020 in “Experimental Dermatology” Different cell types work together to repair skin, and targeting them may improve healing and reduce scarring.
March 2024 in “Frontiers in genetics” Different types of fibroblasts play specific roles in wound healing and cancer, which could help improve treatments.
January 2020 in “Archives of Medicine and Health Sciences” Certain immune molecules and stress affect hair loss, and while genes play a role, more research is needed to fully understand and treat it.
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.
359 citations,
January 2015 in “Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine” Hair growth phase and certain genes can speed up wound healing, while an inflammatory mediator can slow down new hair growth after a wound. Understanding these factors can improve tissue regeneration during wound healing.

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.
