Specialized Immune Cells Enable Skin to Quickly Adapt to Environmental Changes

Audio narration · Coming soon

This research highlights the role of epidermal stem cells (EpSCs) in the skin's ability to rapidly respond to external stressors and then return to a stable state. These specialized cells coordinate the development of skin cells that protect the body while maintaining a reserve of stem cells for ongoing regeneration.
