June 2021 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” Activating β-catenin in mammary cells leads to changes that cause early-stage abnormal growths similar to skin structures.
November 2013 in “Elsevier eBooks” Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.
September 2016 in “Journal of dermatological science” Adult skin cells can be used to create new hair in a lab.
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.
99 citations,
January 2014 in “Nature communications” Scientists created stem cells that can grow hair and skin.
82 citations,
February 2017 in “Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology” The TGF-β family helps control how cells change and move, affecting skin, hair, and organ development.
43 citations,
February 2008 in “Journal of cutaneous pathology” Melanocyte precursors in human fetal skin follow a specific migration pattern and some remain in the skin's deeper layers.
22 citations,
December 2013 in “Stem cells and development” Horse skin stem cells combined with platelet-rich plasma improve skin healing.
2 citations,
