This volume comprises a compilation of some of the latest findings that are adding a new dimension to our understanding of skin biology. It extends the current knowledge on skin stem cells and provides a more in depth discussion about the unique settings and properties of skin stem cells within their niches that sustain skin functions. It highlights novel reciprocal interactions between skin stem cells with cell in their surrounding microenvironment that impact on skin homeostasis, and when gone dysfunctional, lead to disease. Book chapters written by internationally leaders in skin biologyUnique compilation of the latest findings and technologies in basic and translational skin biology in a comprehensive and unique settingExpands the current knowledge of the regulation of skin stem cells as isolated entities, focusing on how skin stem cells and lineages of stem cells function in a coordinated manner by their interactions with other components in the tissueProvides illustrations and comprehensive analyses of each subject INDICE: 1.
