research Bilateral Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Forehead
A 70-year-old man with skin cancer on both sides of his forehead was treated with surgery and cryotherapy, highlighting the need for early detection and prevention.
research Stem Cells and the Niche: A Dynamic Duo
Stem cell niches are crucial for regulating stem cell behavior and tissue health, and their decline can impact aging and cancer.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
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.
research The Senescence–Stemness Alliance – A Cancer-Hijacked Regeneration Principle
Cancer can hijack the body's cell repair system to promote tumor growth, and targeting this process may improve cancer treatments.
research Stem cell quiescence acts as a tumour suppressor in squamous tumours
Inactive hair follicle stem cells help prevent skin cancer.
research Age-associated inflammation connects RAS-induced senescence to stem cell dysfunction and epidermal malignancy
Older skin has higher cancer risk due to inflammation and stem cell issues.
research Expression of Kruppel-Like Factor KLF4 in Mouse Hair Follicle Stem Cells Contributes to Cutaneous Wound Healing
KLF4 is important for maintaining skin stem cells and helps heal wounds.
research Integrin α3β1 in hair bulge stem cells modulates CCN2 expression and promotes skin tumorigenesis
Removing integrin α3β1 from hair stem cells lowers skin tumor growth by affecting CCN2 protein levels.
research Function of KLF4 in Stem Cell Biology
KLF4 is important for maintaining stem cells and has potential in cancer treatment and wound healing.
research Assessment the Effect of Ficus carica Leaf Extract on B16F10 Melanoma Cancer Cells: The Roles of p53, Caspase-3 & Caspase-9 on Induction of Intrinsic Apoptosis Cascade
Ficus carica leaf extract may help treat melanoma by promoting cancer cell death without harming normal cells.
research Multi-omics analysis unveils the role of cancer-associated fibroblasts in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma
Cancer-associated fibroblasts promote tumor growth in skin cancer.
research 126 cAMP response element-binding protein 1 (CREB) is a β-catenin-regulated transcription factor in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cells
CREB, a protein that can promote cancer traits, is controlled by β-catenin in skin cancer cells.
research Dedifferentiation of committed epithelial cells into stem cells in vivo
Certain mature cells in mouse lungs can turn back into stem cells to aid in tissue repair.
research Modulating the stem cell niche for tissue regeneration
Changing the environment around stem cells could help tissue repair, but it's hard to be precise and avoid side effects.
research Uncovering the complex relationship between balding, testosterone and skin cancers in men
Men with baldness are more prone to skin cancers on the scalp due to sun exposure, not testosterone.
research Epidermal Cells Expressing Putative Cell Markers in Nonglabrous Skin Existing in Direct Proximity with the Distal End of the Arrector Pili Muscle
Certain skin cells near the base of hair muscles may help renew and stabilize skin, possibly affecting skin disorder understanding.
research Skin stem cells and tumor growth : functions of collagen XVIII in hair follicle cycling and skin cancer, and Bmx tyrosine kinase in tumor angiogenesis
Collagen XVIII and Bmx tyrosine kinase are important for hair growth and skin cancer development.
research A discrete transition zone between cuticle and cortex layers of a human hair fibre: changes observed in the presence of breast cancer
Breast cancer alters specific molecular structures in hair, which revert after cancer removal.
research Hair Graying as an Evolutionary Checkpoint against Malignancy: a Stem Cell Perspective
Hair graying may help prevent cancer by protecting stem cells.
research Basal cell carcinoma possibly originates from the outer root sheath and/or the bulge region of the vellus hair follicle
Basal cell carcinoma may start from parts of tiny hair follicles.
research Identifying the Target Cells and Mechanisms of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Infection
Human dermal fibroblasts are the main cells targeted by a virus that can cause a deadly skin cancer, and a certain inhibitor can effectively block this infection.
research Biochemistry of epidermal stem cells
The review found that different stem cell types in the skin are crucial for repair and could help treat skin diseases and cancer.
research The Rho guanosine nucleotide exchange factors Vav2 and Vav3 modulate epidermal stem cell function
Vav2 and Vav3 proteins help control skin stem cell numbers and activity in both healthy and cancerous cells.
research Inflammatory auxo-action in the stem cell division theory of cancer
Chronic inflammation can cause cancer by making stem cells divide and mutate.
research Regeneration, Wound Healing and Cancer
The document concludes that while some organisms can regenerate body parts, mammals generally cannot, and cancer progression is complex, involving mutations rather than a strict stem cell hierarchy.
research Data from Synergistic Function of Smad4 and PTEN in Suppressing Forestomach Squamous Cell Carcinoma in the Mouse
Deleting Smad4 and PTEN genes in mice causes rapid, invasive forestomach cancer.
research Stem Cells in the Skin
Skin stem cells are crucial for maintaining and repairing skin, with potential for treating skin disorders and improving wound healing.
