August 2014 in “Nature Biotechnology” Changing the environment around stem cells could help tissue repair, but it's hard to be precise and avoid side effects.
135 citations,
December 2013 in “Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology” Stem cells in the hair follicle are regulated by their surrounding environment, which is important for hair growth.
205 citations,
August 2007 in “Experimental Cell Research” Stem cell niches are crucial for regulating stem cell renewal and differentiation, and understanding them can help in developing regenerative therapies.
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.
74 citations,
January 2013 in “Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy” The conclusion is that hair growth can be improved by activating hair cycles, changing the surrounding environment, healing wounds to create new hair follicles, and using stem cell technology.
10 citations,
