January 2022 in “Theranostics” Collagen XVII is important for skin aging and wound healing.
321 citations,
March 2015 in “Nature” Super-enhancers controlled by pioneer factors like SOX9 are crucial for stem cell adaptability and identity.
305 citations,
June 2012 in “Nature” Hair regeneration needs dynamic cell behavior and mesenchyme presence for stem cell activation.
163 citations,
March 2012 in “BMC biology” Stem cell niches support, regulate, and coordinate stem cell functions.
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.
39 citations,
January 2008 in “Journal of Endocrinology” SCF and c-Kit decrease in AGA hair follicles, possibly affecting hair pigmentation and growth.
26 citations,
August 2019 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy” PBX1 helps hair stem cells grow and change by turning on certain cell signals and preventing cell death, which may be useful for hair regrowth treatments.
24 citations,
May 2016 in “Stem Cell Reviews and Reports” The document concludes that understanding how adult stem and progenitor cells move is crucial for tissue repair and developing cell 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.
10 citations,
