December 2017 in “Journal of Controlled Release” Microneedles improve drug delivery in various body parts, are safe and painless, and show promise in cosmetology, vaccination, insulin delivery, and other medical applications.
137 citations,
April 2015 in “Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology” Different types of stem cells with unique roles exist in blood, skin, and intestines, and this variety is important for tissue repair.
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.
124 citations,
February 2018 in “Nature Reviews Genetics” Stem cell plasticity is crucial for wound healing but can also contribute to cancer development.
85 citations,
September 2013 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” Keratin 15 is not a reliable sole marker for identifying epidermal stem cells because it's found in various cell types.
56 citations,
March 2015 in “Cell death and differentiation” Older skin has higher cancer risk due to inflammation and stem cell issues.
55 citations,
March 2012 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Research on epidermal stem cells has advanced significantly, showing promise for improved clinical therapies.
29 citations,
October 2016 in “Cell death and differentiation” ΔNp63α stops TAp73β from working in skin cancer by blocking its access to specific genes, not by directly interacting with it.
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.
20 citations,
