This is a fluorescently labeled section of embryonic human skin. The dark, diagonal slash through the center of the image is a hair follicle (1). The pink areas are stem cells in the hair follicles ...

Researchers discovered that epithelial cells that line human skin are able to communicate danger to the body through a silent ...

Scientists have developed a breakthrough technique to directly convert skin cells into neurons, bypassing the need for stem ...

Until now, skin cells have been viewed as barriers that can respond to electric stimuli. Turns out, they also generate ...

they discovered that this was enhanced by macrophages – the first time that these cells have been shown to have a role to play a role in the formation of human skin on top of their known ...

acatalasæmia and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency have been demonstrated in cell cultures derived from explants of skin obtained by biopsy 1–3. Since biochemical alterations may be ...

Working with mouse cells, the researchers developed a conversion method that is highly efficient and can produce more than 10 neurons from a single skin cell. If replicated in human cells, this ...
