The hair follicle is a major repository for epidermal stem cells. Learning more about the processes that regulate the differentiation of these cells will improve the prospects for skin replacement ...

The sequential addition of growth factors triggered the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into non-neural ectoderm. This gave rise to epidermal cells, and cranial neural crest cells ...

As a self-renewing organ maintained by multiple distinct stem cell populations, the skin epidermis represents an outstanding, clinically highly relevant research paradigm to address these questions.

W hen a child falls off her bike and scrapes her knee, skin stem cells rush to the rescue, growing new epidermis to cover the ...

the uncontrolled loss of water from plant aerial organs is restricted by epidermis that is covered by a hydrophobic layer called cuticle. Because of these properties, the majority of plant gas ...

Yale researchers are sifting through a mosaic of cells in a living animal—both normal cells and mutated cells—to better ...

His goal is to identify genes and gene pathways that can be used as targets in cancer therapy with a particular focus on the regulators of the balance between stem cell renewal and differentiation. Dr ...
