March 2015 in “Nature” Super-enhancers controlled by pioneer factors like SOX9 are crucial for stem cell adaptability and identity.
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.
16 citations,

14 citations,
October 2020 in “Scientific reports” Hair greying is linked to reduced ATM protein in hair cells, which protects against stress and damage.
10 citations,
August 2018 in “Experimental Dermatology” Decorin helps hair cells grow and move, and keeps hair growth phase going in mice.
4 citations,
March 2017 in “Development” Estrogen is important for keeping adult mouse nipple skin healthy by controlling certain cell signals.
2 citations,
January 2018 in “European journal of pediatric surgery reports” A baby girl's hair turned straight on one side due to a neck tumor and surgery, but it returned to curly as she recovered.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” BMP signaling is important for skin color, affecting melanin production, pigment spread, and cell movement.
