    GlossaryEpidermal Stem Cells

    specialized cells in the skin that regenerate and repair tissue

    Epidermal Stem Cells, also known as Skin Stem Cells, are specialized cells found in the outermost layer of the skin, the epidermis. These cells have the unique ability to self-renew and differentiate into various cell types that make up the epidermis, playing a crucial role in skin regeneration, wound healing, and maintaining the skin's barrier function.
