September 2019 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” In this study, researchers identified at least four distinct basal stem cell populations in the human interfollicular epidermis, each crucial for maintaining epidermal communication and homeostasis.
April 2024 in “Pigment cell & melanoma research” This study explored the diversity of melanocyte stem cell subpopulations in the hair follicles of adult female mice and identified novel groups with distinct immune privilege regulation, suggesting a heterogeneous landscape that future research should consider.
