When wounds of intermediate depth occur, hair-follicle stem cells migrate to the wound and adopt the function, form, and gene-expression pattern of epidermal stem cells. However, a mouse model show ...

We first addressed whether oriented cell divisions participate in stratification during epidermal development. At embryonic day 12.5 (E12.5), most of the epidermis was single-layered, and most ...

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal ...

Figure 2: (A) The shoot epidermis is the outermost cell layer of land plants. Red-colored cells will be differentiated into the epidermis.

The discovery of the shape and binding capability of epidermal cells could explain how skin maintains a barrier even when it is shedding. New research into how epidermal cells form a barrier may ...

An epidermal nevus is a benign overgrowth of epidermal cells usually seen at birth or early in childhood. There is usually one or more nevi of varying diameter.

In addition to creating the first atlas of human brain cell development in the human cerebral cortex, the research team prioritized 152 risk genes that play a causal role in a range of ...

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) isn’t caused by just one faulty switch in the brain; it’s more like a tangled orchestra of genes and cells thrown off-key by trauma. With many genetic players ...

Neuroscientists have moved one step closer to understanding the complete list of cell types in the brain. In the most comprehensive study of its kind to date, the researchers sorted cells from the ...

Researchers in France have just succeeded in recreating a whole epidermis from human embryonic stem cells. The goal is to one day be able to propose this unlimited resource of cells as an ...

Age shows nowhere better than on the skin. The ravages of time on skin and the epidermal stem cells that differentiate to replenish its outer layer have been hypothesized, but there has been no ...
