research Distinct Stem Cells Contribute to Mammary Gland Development and Maintenance
Different types of long-lasting stem cells are responsible for the growth and upkeep of the mammary gland.
research Hedgehog And Gli Signaling In Embryonic Mammary Gland Development
Hedgehog signaling is crucial for mammary gland development over hair follicles.
research In Vivo Imaging of Mammary Epithelial Cell Dynamics in Response to Lineage-Biased Wnt/β-Catenin Activation
Activating β-catenin in mammary cells leads to changes that cause early-stage abnormal growths similar to skin structures.
research Stabilization of Epithelial Beta-Catenin Compromises Mammary Cell Fate Acquisition and Branching Morphogenesis
Too much β-catenin activity can mess up the development of mammary glands and make them more like hair follicles.
research Stabilization of Epithelial Beta-Catenin Compromises Mammary Cell Fate Acquisition and Branching Morphogenesis
Keeping β-catenin levels high in mammary cells disrupts their development and branching.
research Mammary Cells with Active Wnt Signaling Resist ErbB2-Induced Tumorigenesis
Cells with active Wnt signaling are less likely to turn into cancer when exposed to a cancer-causing gene.
research TNF Superfamily in Skin Appendage Development
TNF family proteins are crucial for the development of skin features like hair, teeth, and mammary glands.
research Neuregulin3 Alters Cell Fate in the Epidermis and Mammary Gland
Neuregulin3 affects cell development in the skin and mammary glands.
research Genetic Basis of Skin Appendage Development
Hair, teeth, and mammary glands develop similarly at first but use different genes later.
research Wnt Target Gene Ascl4 Is Dispensable for Skin Appendage Development
The gene Ascl4 is not necessary for the development of hair, teeth, or mammary glands.
research Sostdc1 Defines the Size and Number of Skin Appendage Placodes
Sostdc1 controls the size and number of hair and mammary gland structures.
research RANK as a Therapeutic Target in Cancer
RANK is a key target in breast cancer treatment due to its role in tumor growth and bone metastasis.
research Lipoatrophy and Severe Metabolic Disturbance in Mice with Fat-Specific Deletion of PPARγ
Mice lacking the PPARγ gene in their fat cells had almost no fat tissue, severe metabolic problems, and abnormal development of other fat-related tissues.
research The Role of Adipocytes in Tissue Regeneration and Stem Cell Niches
Fat cells are important for tissue repair and stem cell support in various body parts.
research Harnessing Neuroendocrine Controls of Keratin Expression: A New Therapeutic Strategy for Skin Diseases?
Using neurohormones to control keratin can lead to new skin disease treatments.
research Runx Family Genes in Tissue Stem Cell Dynamics
Runx genes are important for stem cell regulation and their roles in aging and disease need more research.
research Expression and Cellular Localization of Keratinocyte Growth Factor and Its Receptor in Human Hyperplastic Prostate Tissue
KGF and its receptor are found in enlarged prostate tissue and KGF strongly increases cell growth.
research Early Inductive Events in Ectodermal Appendage Morphogenesis
Early development of hair, teeth, and glands involves specific signaling pathways and cellular interactions.
research Epithelial Stem Cells: Turning Over New Leaves
Epithelial stem cells are crucial for tissue renewal and repair, and understanding them could improve treatments for damage and cancer.
research Epigenetic Control of Adult Stem Cell Function
Epigenetic changes control how adult stem cells work and can lead to diseases like cancer if they go wrong.
research Conversion of the Nipple to Hair-Bearing Epithelia by Lowering Bone Morphogenetic Protein Pathway Activity at the Dermal-Epidermal Interface
Blocking a specific protein signal can make hair grow on mouse nipples.
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 Stem Cell Identification: In Vivo Lineage Analysis Versus In Vitro Isolation And Clonal Expansion
In vivo lineage labelling is better than in vitro methods for identifying and understanding stem cells.
research Vitamin D and Human Health: Lessons from Vitamin D Receptor Null Mice
Mice without the vitamin D receptor have bone issues and other health problems, suggesting vitamin D is important for preventing various diseases in humans.
research Environmental Factors and Puberty Timing: Expert Panel Research Needs
Chemicals and body size might change when puberty starts and progresses, but more research is needed to confirm this.
research Tracing the Cellular Origin of Cancer
Understanding where cancer cells come from helps create better prevention and treatment methods.
research Adverse Side Effects of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Therapy: Persistent Diminished Libido, Erectile Dysfunction, and Depression in a Subset of Patients
Some patients taking finasteride or dutasteride may have ongoing sexual problems and depression even after stopping the medication.
research TGF-β Family Signaling in Stem Cells
TGF-β signaling is crucial for stem cell maintenance, differentiation, and has implications for cancer treatment.
research Neuroendocrinology of the Hair Follicle: Principles and Clinical Perspectives
Hair follicles are hormone-sensitive and involved in growth and other functions, with potential for new treatments, but more research is needed.
