4 citations,
December 2020 in “Mammalian genome” Harlequin mutant mice have hair loss due to low AIF protein levels and retroviral element activity.
3 citations,
July 2022 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy” Turning off a specific gene in stem cells speeds up skin healing by helping cells move better.

January 2012 in “Elsevier eBooks” New treatments for skin and hair repair show promise, but further improvements are needed.
139 citations,
December 2020 in “Cell Stem Cell” Male hormones affect COVID-19 severity and certain drugs targeting these hormones could help reduce the risk.
128 citations,
August 2015 in “Cell Stem Cell” Damage to skin releases dsRNA, which activates TLR3 and helps in skin and hair follicle regeneration.
119 citations,
March 2020 in “Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology” Asia has made significant progress in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, but wider clinical use requires more development.
42 citations,
December 2016 in “Cell Death & Differentiation” Damaging mitochondrial DNA in mice speeds up aging due to increased reactive oxygen species, not through the p53/p21 pathway.
