摘要: Major progress in understanding epithelial skin stem cells has been accomplished. This possible by developing new methods for labeling, tracking, isolating, and characterizing enriched populations of cells. chapter summarizes vivo vitro assays that are currently employed to analyze Despite progress, the definition a cell is functional one. Unambiguous identification intact tissue still not possible. These limitations hamper molecular studies aimed at unraveling cellular mechanisms operating compartment. emphasizes current analyzing hair follicle cells, as opposed other compartments, because most intensively studied up date.
