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.
April 2024 in “Journal of Cytology” A rare skin tumor with bone formation was successfully removed without recurrence.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The research shows that skin cancer likely originates from hair follicles and that certain cell populations expand to promote skin cancer growth.
6 citations
