October 2020 in “Research Square (Research Square)” Abnormal Wnt signaling in hair follicle stem cells can lead to acne-like cysts.
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.
56 citations,
May 2017 in “Nature Cell Biology” Hair can regrow after certain stem cells are lost because other stem cells can take over their role.
June 2021 in “Research Square (Research Square)” The exact identity of skin stem cells and how skin cells differentiate is not fully known.
April 2020 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” Skin healing from blisters can delay hair growth as stem cells focus on repairing skin over developing hair.
10 citations,
June 2021 in “EMBO reports” When skin blisters, healing the wound is more important than growing hair, and certain stem cells mainly fix the blisters without helping hair growth.
4 citations,
December 2021 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Overactive Wnt signaling in mouse skin stem cells causes acne-like cysts and shrinking oil glands, which some treatments can partially fix.
47 citations,
January 2015 in “Dermatology” The best way to treat acne is to prevent healthy skin glands from turning into acne lesions by controlling the triggers early on.
