Understanding phenotypic plasticity is crucial for developing effective cancer therapies.
research Single-cell analysis reveals fibroblast heterogeneity and myeloid-derived adipocyte progenitors in murine skin wounds
The research found that different types of fibroblasts are involved in wound healing and that some blood cells can turn into fat cells during this process.
research Dermal β-catenin activity in response to epidermal Wnt ligands is required for fibroblast proliferation and hair follicle initiation
Skin needs dermal β-catenin activity for hair growth and skin cell multiplication.
research Advances in Regenerative Stem Cell Therapy in Androgenic Alopecia and Hair Loss: Wnt Pathway, Growth-Factor, and Mesenchymal Stem Cell Signaling Impact Analysis on Cell Growth and Hair Follicle Development
Stem cell therapy, particularly using certain types of cells, shows promise for treating hair loss by stimulating hair growth and development, but more extensive trials are needed to confirm these findings.
research Dental cell type atlas reveals stem and differentiated cell types in mouse and human teeth
The research identified various cell types in mouse and human teeth, which could help in developing dental regenerative treatments.
research Epidermal β-catenin activation remodels the dermis via paracrine signalling to distinct fibroblast lineages
