March 2024 in “Vestnik Rossijskogo universiteta družby narodov. Seriâ Agronomiâ i životnovodstvo” Wnt and Shh signaling are key in noggin-induced tumors, and blocking them can slow tumor growth.
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.
68 citations,

June 2003 in “American Journal of Physiology-cell Physiology” Cyclosporin A helps mice grow hair by blocking a specific protein activity in skin cells.
28 citations,
July 2008 in “Developmental Biology” Smad4 is important for healthy hair follicles because it helps produce a protein needed for hair to stick together and grow.
23 citations,
February 2015 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” Colchicine can inhibit hair growth by affecting cell activity and protein expression in hair follicles.
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.
232 citations,
January 2013 in “Nature Cell Biology” Understanding where cancer cells come from helps create better prevention and treatment methods.
