November 2017 The document concludes that while some organisms can regenerate body parts, mammals generally cannot, and cancer progression is complex, involving mutations rather than a strict stem cell hierarchy.
September 2013 in “Experimental Dermatology” The document concluded that stem cells are crucial for skin repair, regeneration, and may help in developing advanced skin substitutes.
137 citations,
April 2015 in “Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology” Different types of stem cells with unique roles exist in blood, skin, and intestines, and this variety is important for tissue repair.
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.
124 citations,
February 2018 in “Nature Reviews Genetics” Stem cell plasticity is crucial for wound healing but can also contribute to cancer development.
55 citations,
March 2012 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Research on epidermal stem cells has advanced significantly, showing promise for improved clinical therapies.
17 citations,
March 2012 in “The Journal of Pathology” In vivo lineage labelling is better than in vitro methods for identifying and understanding stem cells.
13 citations,
December 2014 in “Stem Cells” Hair and skin can regenerate without bulge stem cells due to other compensating cells.
4 citations,
August 2021 in “The Malaysian journal of medical sciences/The Malaysian Journal of Medical Science” Eating fewer calories improves the ability of stem cells to repair and renew the body in various tissues.
2 citations,
August 2012 in “Cell Stem Cell” The study showed that some hair follicle stem cells wake up to grow hair while others stay asleep, and that the environment around them is important for hair growth.
139 citations,
August 2018 in “Development” The niche environment controls stem cell behavior and plasticity, which is important for tissue health and repair.
10 citations,
January 2013 in “Journal of skin cancer” PKC ε increases hair follicle stem cell turnover and may raise skin cancer risk.
96 citations,
July 2014 in “Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine” The document concludes that adult mammalian skin contains multiple stem cell populations with specific markers, important for understanding skin regeneration and related conditions.
117 citations,
March 2017 in “Nature Communications” Macrophages help regrow hair by activating stem cells using AKT/β-catenin and TNF.
25 citations,
May 2020 in “EMBO reports” Calcium is important for stem cell function and maintenance, especially in blood and skin cells.
351 citations,
February 2010 in “Nature Cell Biology” Basal cell carcinoma mostly starts from cells in the upper skin layers, not hair follicle stem cells.
75 citations,
September 2017 in “Developmental biology” The circadian clock influences the behavior and regeneration of stem cells in the body.
835 citations,
October 2008 in “Nature Genetics” Lgr5 is a marker for active, long-lasting stem cells in mouse hair follicles.
1 citations,
January 2013 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The document concludes that stem cells and their environments are crucial for skin and hair health and have potential for medical treatments.
23 citations,
November 2018 in “Development, Growth & Differentiation” Epidermal stem cells have various roles in skin beyond just maintenance, including forming specialized structures and aiding in skin repair and regeneration.
2 citations,
May 2021 in “Bioengineering” Blood stem cells are diverse, influenced by many factors, and understanding them is key for progress in regenerative medicine.
