EZH1 and EZH2 cogovern histone H3K27 trimethylation and are essential for hair follicle homeostasis and wound repair

TL;DR: Conditionally target H3K27 methyltransferases Ezh2 and Ezh1 to address their roles in mouse skin homeostasis and reveal new insights into Polycomb-dependent tissue control, and provide a new twist to how different progenitors within one tissue respond to loss of H3k27me3.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hair follicle dermal papilla cells at a glance.

TL;DR: Mammalian skin is a highly tractable tissue in which to explore epithelial–mesenchymal interactions during development and in postnatal life and one population of these interactions is studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

The skin-resident and migratory immune system in steady state and memory: innate lymphocytes, dendritic cells and T cells.

TL;DR: Many of the innate and adaptive immune cell types associated with the skin are outlined, focusing on the steady state in mice and men, and include a broad update of dendritic cell function and T cell surveillance.

Fitzpatrick's Dermatology In General Medicine

TL;DR: Widely acclaimed dermatological treatise is completely revised and updated with over forty new chapters and an entirely new section on dermatologic surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Label-retaining cells reside in the bulge area of pilosebaceous unit: Implications for follicular stem cells, hair cycle, and skin carcinogenesis

TL;DR: It is suggested that follicular stem cells reside in the bulge region, instead of the lower bulb, which provides insights into hair cycle control and the possible involvement of hair follicle stem cells in skin carcinogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defining the epithelial stem cell niche in skin.

TL;DR: It is found that these cells rarely divide within their niche but change properties abruptly when stimulated to exit, and their transcriptional profile is determined, which, when compared to progeny and other SCs, defines the niche.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-renewal, multipotency, and the existence of two cell populations within an epithelial stem cell niche.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the niche microenvironment imposes intrinsic "stemness" features without restricting the establishment of epithelial polarity and changes in gene expression.

Fitzpatrick's Dermatology in General Medicine

TL;DR: This completely revised and updated edition of ‘Fitzpatrick’ has further cemented its place in the practice of Dermatology with great clarity and easily ‘digestable’ reference material.
