December 1986 in “The journal of cell biology/The Journal of cell biology” Hair and nail cells share similar proteins, indicating a common differentiation pathway.
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.
45 citations,
December 2007 in “The FASEB journal” There are two types of stem cells in rodent hair follicles, each with different keratin proteins.
Deleting Smad4 and PTEN genes in mice causes rapid, invasive forestomach cancer.
January 2023 in “Discovery immunology” T cells and bacteria in the gut and skin help maintain health and protect against disease.
Deleting Smad4 and PTEN genes in mice causes rapid, invasive stomach cancer.
24 citations,
August 2011 in “Experimental Dermatology” The flap assay grows the most natural hair but takes the longest, the chamber assay is hard work but gives dense, normal hair, and the patch assay is quick but creates poorly oriented hair with some issues.
39 citations,
July 2021 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy” Using fat stem cells and blood cell-rich plasma together improves healing in diabetic wounds by affecting cell signaling.
1 citations,
September 2015 in “Elsevier eBooks” SOX2 is crucial for skin cell function and hair growth, and it plays a role in skin cancer and wound healing.
70 citations,
January 2014 in “International review of cell and molecular biology” Keratin proteins are crucial for healthy skin, but mutations can cause skin disorders with no effective treatments yet.
1 citations,
July 2022 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” Keratin gene expression helps understand different types of skin cells and their development, and should be used carefully as biological markers.
54 citations,
November 2015 in “Methods in enzymology on CD-ROM/Methods in enzymology” Keratins are important for skin cell health and their problems can cause diseases.
