A Highly Enriched Niche of Precursor Cells with Neuronal and Glial Potential Within the Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla of Adult Skin
27 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
Skin-derived precursor cells (SKPs) are multipotent neural crest-related stem cells that grow as self-renewing spheres and are capable of generating neurons and myelinating glial cells. SKPs are of clinical interest because they are accessible and potentially autologous. However, although spheres can be readily isolated from embryonic and neonatal skin, SKP frequency falls away sharply in adulthood, and primary...
