Thrilled our work is the cover article in JCI Insight! We show that a population of hair follicle stem cells contributes to the epidermis during homeostasis, challenging the idea that skin and hair rely on separate stem cell pools. @JCI_insight @UTSWDerm @LuLe_MD_PhD
It has long been believed that skin and hair follicles are maintained by compartmentalized stem cells. This issue’s cover features work by @ElnazGhotbi, Lu Q. Le & team @UVA, @MedicineUVA on the contribution of hair follicle epithelial stem cells to interfollicular epidermis during homeostasis. insight.jci.org/articles/vie… In the cover image, green spheres within the upper hair follicle region represent KROX20-positive stem cells that migrate up to maintain proper epidermal homeostasis.
