research Alterations in Epidermal Stem Cells Within the Pilosebaceous Unit in Atrophic Acne Scars
Inflammatory acne damages skin stem cells and reduces their growth, leading to atrophic acne scars.
research Editor's Evaluation: Complementary Evolution of Coding and Noncoding Sequence Underlies Mammalian Hairlessness
Hairlessness in mammals is due to complex genetic changes in both genes and regulatory regions.
research Mapping the Establishment of Fibroblast Heterogeneity During Skin Development and Wound Repair
Skin heals with scars because only one type of fibroblast is used, not a mix.
