... and an exponential number of studies have been recorded in various fields of application such as process culture engineering, stem cell extractions methodology, or cell-to-cell interaction studies under physiological and pathological conditions, wound-healing, and inflammation. Most studies also concerned...

.... Maan; Dominik Duscher Hair is a defining feature of mammals and has critical functions, including protection, production of sebum, apocrine sweat and pheromones, social and sexual interactions, thermoregulation, and provision of stem cells for skin homeostasis, regeneration, and repair. The hair...

...M. Laporte; M. Heenen In mouse epidermis keratinocytes of the basal layer seem to belong to 3 different subpopulations: stem cells, transit cells and postmitotic cells. Each subpopulation assumes a specific role in epidermal homeostasis. Recent data tend to display a similar heterogeneity among...

... demonstrate that keratinocytes can be blocked in certain conditions in a state of quiescence similar to a G₀ phase. Increasing evidence suggests that, as in mouse epidermis, the germinative compartment of human epidermis is heterogeneous and is divided into a small proportion of stem cells (10%) with a high...

... alteration, and the normal skin cells, including the putative hair follicle/epidermal stem cells, were well preserved by morphological/immunohistochemical criteria [ 5 ]. No short- or long-term adverse effects were detected [ 5 ]. We treated a total of 31 psoriatic lesions in 7 patients having...

... histological changes were restricted to the deep ridges of the epidermis, where epidermal stem cells are thought to exist in the palmoplantar skin. This suggests that HPV infection targets the stem cells. 17 03 2003 17 10 2003 © 2003 S. Karger AG, Basel 2003 Copyright / Drug Dosage...
