Abstract excerpt
Epidermal stem cells residing in different locations in the skin continuously self-renew and differentiate into distinct cell lineages to maintain skin homeostasis during postnatal life. Murine epidermal stem cells located at the bulge region are responsible for replenishing the hair lineage, while the stem cells at the isthmus regenerate interfollicular epidermis and sebaceous glands. In vitro cell culture and...
