When the skin is injured, a stem cell’s survival instincts kick in. New research reveals that a simple amino acid, serine, ...

Mice with a version of osteoarthritis experienced symptom relief after expression of a protein targeting a stem-cell receptor ...

Age shows nowhere better than on the skin. The ravages of time on skin and the epidermal stem cells that differentiate to replenish its outer layer have been hypothesized, but there has been no ...

Researchers have identified a new stem cell population in the skin epidermis responsible for tissue repair. The skin, which is an essential barrier that protects our body against the external ...

An epigenetic network establishes three modules of genes whose coordinated expression maintains undifferentiated epidermal stem cells. Three types of gene sets are targeted by epigenetic complexes ...

The skin has two types of adult stem cells: epidermal and hair follicle. Their jobs seem well-defined: maintaining the skin, ...

Skin stem cells shuffle sugars as they age Date: July 21, 2020 Source: University of Tsukuba Summary: Researchers have shown by in vitro experimentation that changes of glycans in mouse epidermal ...

The cell population expanded dramatically over the next month, allowing the team to gradually transfer sheets of cultured epidermis to the patient, ultimately replacing more than 80 percent of his ...

Epidermal stem and progenitor cells were then used to generate complex 3-D epidermal models called organotypic skin rafts, which also harbored FA mutations when left uncorrected.

It doesn’t matter if they’re hair follicle, epidermal, or glandular stem cells. During homeostasis, hair follicle stem cells only make cells in the hair follicle lineage, but after an injury, they ...

Epidermal stem and progenitor cells were then used to generate complex 3D epidermal models called organotypic skin rafts, which also harbored FA mutations when left uncorrected.

Hair follicle stem cells (green) mobilize and expand (white) to help repair the skin’s barrier by differentiating into epidermal lineages (red). When a child falls off her bike and scrapes her ...
