Direct Genesis of Functional Rodent and Human Schwann Cells from Skin Mesenchymal Precursors
19 Jun 2014
Abstract excerpt
Recent reports of directed reprogramming have raised questions about the stability of cell lineages. Here, we have addressed this issue, focusing upon skin-derived precursors (SKPs), a dermally derived precursor cell. We show by lineage tracing that murine SKPs from dorsal skin originate from mesenchymal and not neural crest-derived cells. These mesenchymally derived SKPs can, without genetic manipulation,...
