research Prolactin: A Novel Neuroendocrine Regulator of Human Keratin Expression In Situ
Prolactin affects the production of different keratins in human hair, which could lead to new treatments for skin and hair disorders.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
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.
research CUBIC Protocol Visualizes Protein Expression at Single Cell Resolution in Whole Mount Skin Preparations
The CUBIC protocol allows detailed 3D visualization of proteins in mouse skin biopsies.
