research Identification of Stem Cell Populations in Sweat Glands and Ducts Reveals Roles in Homeostasis and Wound Repair

265 citations , July 2012 in “Cell”

This study found multipotent progenitors in sweat ducts that become unipotent after sweat gland development, highlighting distinct regenerative capabilities in adult glandular skin stem cell populations.

research Stage-Specific Embryonic Antigen-4 (SSEA-4) as a Distinguishing Marker between Eccrine and Apocrine Origin of Ducts of Sweat Glands

3 citations , July 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that SSEA-4 is a marker that distinguishes eccrine from apocrine ductal cells in human sweat glands, suggesting its potential use in diagnostic applications.

Characterization of X-Linked Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia Hair and Sweat Gland Phenotypes Using Phototrichogram Analysis and Live Confocal Imaging

research Characterization of X‐linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XL‐HED) hair and sweat gland phenotypes using phototrichogram analysis and live confocal imaging

15 citations , May 2013 in “American Journal of Medical Genetics - Part A”

People with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia have no sweat ducts and less, thinner hair.

research Involvement of Wnt, Eda and Shh at defined stages of sweat gland development

55 citations , September 2014 in “Development”

In this study, mouse sweat gland development relied on a regulatory sequence initiated by Wnt/β-catenin signaling, and disruptions in Wnt, Eda, or Shh pathways led to distinct developmental failures.
