However, far less is known about how stem cells and their progeny maintain normal adult tissue homeostasis in vivo. Recently, we reported studies of cell fate in murine tail epidermis that ...

Some protect against plant-eating animals by secreting itchy toxins from the leaf or stem epidermis, which, if you’ve ever run into a stinging nettle, you are already painfully familiar with.

The hair follicle is a major repository for epidermal stem cells. Learning more about the processes that regulate the differentiation of these cells will improve the prospects for skin replacement ...

Renewal of the epidermis relies on stem cells located in its lowest layer, which constantly produce new keratinocytes. These new cells are then pushed to the surface, differentiating along the way ...

“We’re learning that it is the basic mechanisms that stem cells use to make and repair tissue that ... Fuchs has been hooked on decoding and unraveling the complicated biology of epidermal cells. In ...

As a self-renewing organ maintained by multiple distinct stem cell populations, the skin epidermis represents an outstanding, clinically highly relevant research paradigm to address these questions.

The body calls on all the stem cells that are in the vicinity of the wound. It doesn’t matter if they’re hair follicle, epidermal, or glandular stem cells. During homeostasis, hair follicle stem cells ...

Inflamed mouse stem cells located in the basal layer (red) of the epidermis and FOS (green), a near-universal stress response factor essential to inflammatory memory. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!
