January 2014 in “eScholarship (California Digital Library)” Lrig1 and Lgr6 stem cells help maintain hair follicles and influence skin cancer development.
February 2011 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” New findings suggest targeting IL-23 could treat psoriasis, skin cells can adapt to new roles, direct conversion of skin cells to blood cells may aid cell therapy, removing certain tumor cells could boost cancer immunotherapy, and melanoma may have many tumorigenic cells, not just cancer stem cells.
Loss of the p53 gene alone causes tumors, and losing both p53 and Rb genes speeds up aggressive skin cancer.
Loss of the p53 gene alone causes tumors, and losing both p53 and Rb genes speeds up aggressive skin cancer.
May 2007 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Hair can regrow in adult mice's skin after injury, and this regrowth doesn't come from existing hair cells but from skin cells in the wound, with Wnt7a protein helping this process. This could help treat baldness and scarring.
