Vibrissa hair bulge houses two populations of skin epithelial stem cells distinct by their keratin profile

Abstract excerpt

Defining the properties of postnatal stem cells is of interest given their relevance for tissue homeostasis and therapeutic applications, such as skin tissue engineering for burn patients. In hair follicles, the bulge region of the outer root sheath houses stem cells. We show that explants from the prominent bulge area, but not the bulb, in rodent vibrissa follicles can produce epidermis in a skin model of tissue...
