Scientists identify vital mechanisms controlling skin regeneration
Updated : 2 years, 4 months ago IST
The outer layer of skin, the epidermis, is constantly turning over to replace dead or damaged cells throughout our lifetime. Skin stem cells need to continuously make decisions: either make more copies of themselves (self-renewal) or switch their fate towards differentiation. The molecular m
