research PNKP is required for maintaining the integrity of progenitor cell populations in adult mice
PNKP is essential for keeping adult mouse progenitor cells healthy and growing normally.
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 Establishment and characterization of matched immortalized human frontal and occipital scalp dermal papilla cell lines from androgenetic alopecia
Scientists created cell lines from balding patients and found that cells from the front of the scalp are more affected by hormones that cause hair loss than those from the back.
research Hemidesmosomes and Notch signaling regulate epidermal differentiation via delamination
Hemidesmosomes and Notch signaling help skin cells mature by moving them to the outer layer.
