April 2016 in “Nature communications” Certain signals are important for reducing specific chemical markers on hair follicle stem cells during rest periods, which is necessary for healthy hair growth.
4 citations,
January 2013 in “Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology” Certain transcription factors are key in controlling skin stem cell behavior and could impact future treatments for skin repair and hair loss.
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.
107 citations,
August 2012 in “Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology” The document concludes that understanding the sebaceous gland's development and function is key to addressing related skin diseases and aging effects.
72 citations,
July 2012 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Mice lacking a key DNA methylation enzyme in skin cells have a lower chance of activating stem cells necessary for hair growth, leading to progressive hair loss.
11 citations,
March 2014 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Genetic mutation and carcinogen treatment are both needed for skin cancer to develop in these specific mice.
1 citations,
January 2016 in “Elsevier eBooks” The document concludes that identifying the specific cells where skin cancers begin is important for creating better prevention, detection, and treatment methods.
8 citations,
September 2013 in “Molecular carcinogenesis” Rapamycin reduces skin cell growth and tumor development by affecting cell signaling in mice.
6 citations,
February 2022 in “Journal of immunology research” Exosomes from fat-derived stem cells can potentially improve hair growth and could be a new treatment for immune-related hair loss.
6 citations,
May 2013 in “PloS one” The Foxn1(-/-) nude mouse shows disrupted and expanded skin stem cell areas due to high Lhx2 levels.
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.
