June 2011 in “The EMBO Journal” This study demonstrates that hair follicle bulge stem cells can transition into other stem cell compartments, indicating their role in maintaining both hair follicles and sebaceous glands.
March 2021 in “Cell stem cell” This study found that actomyosin contractility in suprabasal keratinocytes influences the proliferation and differentiation of epidermal stem/progenitor cells by acting as a niche element in the skin.
April 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that PRC1 plays crucial roles in skin epithelial stem cell regulation, with catalytic and non-catalytic functions impacting epidermal integrity, hair development, and Merkel cell dynamics in murine models.
