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.
110 citations,

50 citations,
January 2016 in “The FEBS journal” RANK is a key target in breast cancer treatment due to its role in tumor growth and bone metastasis.
27 citations,
April 2017 in “British Journal of Dermatology” Hair loss involves immune responses, inflammation, and disrupted signaling pathways.
22 citations,
March 2021 in “Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery” Ultrasound is a useful, non-invasive tool in dermatology for diagnosing skin conditions and guiding treatments, but it has some limitations.
6 citations,
July 2015 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Chicken feather gene mutation helps understand human hair disorders.
2 citations,
November 2019 in “Cancer reports” The Wnt signaling pathway is not a major factor in the development of keratoacanthoma, a type of skin tumor.
March 2024 in “Vestnik Rossijskogo universiteta družby narodov. Seriâ Agronomiâ i životnovodstvo” Wnt and Shh signaling are key in noggin-induced tumors, and blocking them can slow tumor growth.
