Hair follicle epidermal stem cells define a niche for tactile sensation

Hair follicle epidermal stem cells define a niche for tactile sensation

The heterogeneity and compartmentalization of stem cells is a common principle in many epithelia, and is known to function in epithelial maintenance, but its other physiological roles remain elusive. Here we show transcriptional and anatomical contributions of compartmentalized epidermal stem cells...
