research RANK as a therapeutic target in cancer
RANK is a key target in breast cancer treatment due to its role in tumor growth and bone metastasis.
research Eavesdropping on the conversation between immune cells and the skin epithelium
Immune cells help keep skin healthy and repair it, but imbalance can cause disease.
research Transcriptional regulation of the thymus master regulator Foxn1
Foxn1 gene regulation is crucial for thymus development but not for hair growth.
research Homeostatic Control of Sebaceous Glands by Innate Lymphoid Cells Regulates Commensal Bacteria Equilibrium
Innate lymphoid cells help control skin bacteria by regulating sebaceous glands.

The nude gene is important for skin and hair development.
research Innate type 2 immunity controls hair follicle commensalism by Demodex mites
Type 2 immunity helps control mite growth in hair follicles, preventing damage.
research Thymic Peptides Differentially Modulate Human Hair Follicle Growth
Some thymic peptides can increase human hair growth, while others may inhibit it.
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.
