research Phenotypic Plasticity: Driver of Cancer Initiation, Progression, and Therapy Resistance
Understanding phenotypic plasticity is crucial for developing effective cancer therapies.
research Skin melanocytes: biology and development
The paper concludes that understanding melanocyte development can help in insights into skin diseases and melanoma diversity.
research Nerve-Derived Sonic Hedgehog Defines a Niche for Hair Follicle Stem Cells Capable of Becoming Epidermal Stem Cells
Nerve signals are crucial for hair follicle stem cells to become skin stem cells and help in wound healing.
research Wound Healing and Skin Regeneration
