July 2007 in “Cancer biology & therapy” Removing a key gene in mice leads to premature aging and loss of stem cells.
January 2024 in “Journal of tissue engineering” Sunlight exposure damages hair follicles, but certain stem cell-derived particles can reduce this damage and help with hair regeneration.
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.
6 citations,
July 2019 in “Experimental Dermatology” Skin can produce blood cells, often due to disease, which might lead to new treatments for skin and blood conditions.
The reviewers suggest clarifying the abstract, adding background on inflammation's effect on stem cells and cancer, discussing immune cells' role in tumors, and considering inflammation's potential to reduce cancer growth.
11 citations,
July 2016 in “Current Opinion in Cell Biology” New techniques have enhanced our understanding of how stem cells function and the role of mutations in aging tissues, which may influence future cancer therapies.
2 citations,
January 2022 in “Stem cell biology and regenerative medicine” Extracellular vesicles, including exosomes from certain cells, can stimulate hair growth.
1 citations,
July 2023 in “Cureus” Some treatments for hereditary hair loss are effective but vary in results and side effects; new therapies show promise but need more research.
1 citations,
June 2023 in “Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology/The Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology” Vitamin D helps skin stem cells heal wounds by working with a key skin protein.
