they differentiate to form a rigid internal structure of keratin, microfilaments and microtubules (keratinisation). The outer layer of the epidermis, the stratum corneum, is composed of layers of ...

The skin must maintain balanced numbers of stem and differentiated cells as loss of proper balance would result in aberrant tissue structure and therefore function. How this intricate balance is ...

The skin is the body’s largest and heaviest organ. It is made up of several different types of cells and its main purpose is to protect the inside of the body from the environment. Alongside its ...

Researchers extracted fibroblasts -- cells that produce the scaffolding to give tissues their structure -- associated with skin tissue and pushed them toward senescence by damaging their DNA ...

Changes in the structure of the skin and the lymphatic system that occur ... or the tumor's ecosystem that includes immune cells, fibroblasts, blood and lymphatic vessels, and signaling molecules ...

Differences in the cells that give skin its resilience and strength during wound repair may explain why individuals heal differently, according to a new Yale study published Nov. 23 in the journal ...

the researchers took human skin cells and placed them into a jelly-like scaffold, reprogramming them into the building blocks of a blastocyst, which then organized into the desired structure.

Researchers extracted fibroblasts—cells that produce the scaffolding to give tissues their structure— associated with skin tissue and pushed them toward senescence by damaging their DNA, something ...
