December 2020 in “International journal of molecular sciences” External factors can cause skin cancer cells that usually don't spread to grow and form tumors in mice.
129 citations
,
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.

August 2015 in “Journal of Applied Genetics” Mutations in specific genes disrupt development of sweat glands, teeth, hair, skin, and nails in HED.
68 citations
,
September 2018 in “Trends in Cell Biology” Cancer can hijack the body's cell repair system to promote tumor growth, and targeting this process may improve cancer treatments.

March 2024 in “Signal transduction and targeted therapy” NF-κB signaling is crucial in many diseases and can be targeted for new treatments.
1 citations
,
November 2017 The document concludes that while some organisms can regenerate body parts, mammals generally cannot, and cancer progression is complex, involving mutations rather than a strict stem cell hierarchy.
March 2024 in “Frontiers in genetics” Different types of fibroblasts play specific roles in wound healing and cancer, which could help improve treatments.
November 2014 in “Journal of Cell Biology” Valentina Greco's research shows that the environment around hair follicle stem cells is more crucial for regeneration than the stem cells themselves.
January 2013 in “Kidney international” A man with kidney tumors and lung cysts was diagnosed with Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome and treated successfully, with genetic testing confirming the diagnosis.
69 citations
