2 / 2 results

research Morphogenesis and Renewal of Hair Follicles from Adult Multipotent Stem Cells

949 citations , January 2001 in “Cell”

This study demonstrated that multipotent stem cells in adult mice whisker follicles migrate to produce whisker growth, and that this process requires precise control of stem cell trafficking.

research Keratin 19 as a Biochemical Marker of Skin Stem Cells In Vivo and In Vitro: Localization and Variation with Age and Culture Stage

441 citations , May 1996 in “Journal of Cell Science”

This study found that keratin 19 may be a marker for skin stem cells, helping to characterize these cells in different conditions and potentially explaining variations in healing rates between children and adults.
