426 citations,
August 2014 in “Nature Medicine” Skin stem cells interacting with their environment is crucial for maintaining and regenerating skin and hair, and understanding this can help develop new treatments for skin and hair disorders.
29 citations,
March 2012 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy” Some stem cells in the body rarely divide, which could help create better treatments for diseases and aging.
13 citations,
July 2020 in “World journal of stem cells” Vitamin D and calcium are important for skin stem cell function and wound healing.
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.
33 citations,
