Abstract excerpt
Squamous epithelia represent a morphologically and differentiation-dependent stratified tissue. The stem cells are located in the bulge region of hair follicles or in the basal layer of interfollicular epidermis and in the limbus of the cornea. This article summarizes the data about the glycobiological aspects of squamous epithelia cell differentiation under physiological as well as pathological conditions in...
