    Glossary Keratinocyte Stem Cells

    specialized skin cells that regenerate and form keratinocytes

    Keratinocyte Stem Cells (KSCs) are specialized cells found in the basal layer of the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. These cells have the unique ability to self-renew and differentiate into keratinocytes, which are the primary cells that make up the skin, hair, and nails. KSCs play a crucial role in skin regeneration and wound healing, making them essential for maintaining healthy skin and repairing damage.
