research Poikiloderma, Hyperpigmentation, Alopecia, Hypohidrosis, Malformed Bones, Lymphedema of the Legs and Decreased Cortisol Level: A New Entity?
A new medical syndrome may include skin changes, hair loss, sweating issues, bone malformations, leg swelling, and low cortisol.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
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.
research Lamellar Ichthyosis with Pseudoexon Activation in the Transglutaminase 1 Gene
The boy's severe skin disorder is caused by two new mutations in his TGM1 gene.
