October 2016 in “Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering” E-cadherin is important for cell movement in electric fields, and the new tracking method works well.
April 2025 in “Molecular Biology Reports” This study explores the role of DNMT1 in regulating SRD5A2 expression and its impact on mitochondrial homeostasis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in urothelial cells from hypospadias rats, with a sample size of 3. DNMT1 binds to the SRD5A2 promoter, affecting cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis, and cell cycle progression, particularly arresting at the G1/S phase. It enhances mitochondrial function and inhibits EMT, suggesting DNMT1-mediated methylation of SRD5A2 as a potential therapeutic target for hypospadias. Further research is needed to understand these gene interactions in hypospadias and other urogenital disorders.

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.
