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.
120 citations,

56 citations,
March 2015 in “Cell death and differentiation” Older skin has higher cancer risk due to inflammation and stem cell issues.
27 citations,
July 2017 in “European Journal of Dermatology” Certain microRNAs are linked to various skin diseases and could be used to diagnose and treat these conditions.
The document concludes that the development of certain tumors is influenced by genetic background and that a specific gene modification can lead to tumor regression and reduced growth.
