Fibroblasts are the major mesenchymal cell type in connective tissue and deposit the
collagen and elastic fibres of the extracellular matrix (ECM) 1 . Even within a single tissue, …

Fibroblasts are diverse mesenchymal cells that participate in tissue homeostasis and
disease by producing complex extracellular matrix and creating signaling niches through …

Cell Science at a Glance 1179 interactions during development and in postnatal life (Blanpain
and Fuchs, 2009; Müller-Röver et al., 2001; Schmidt-Ullrich and Paus, 2005; Watt and …

Fibroblasts are found in most tissues, yet they remain poorly characterised. Different fibroblast
subpopulations with distinct functions have been identified in the skin. This functional …

Previous studies have shown that mouse dermis is composed of functionally distinct
fibroblast lineages. To explore the extent of fibroblast heterogeneity in human skin, we used a …

The dermal papilla comprises the specialised mesenchymal cells at the base of the hair
follicle. Communication between dermal papilla cells and the overlying epithelium is essential …

Here, we explore the evolution and development of skin‐associated adipose tissue with the
goal of establishing nomenclature for this tissue. Underlying the reticular dermis, a thick …

In recent years, there has been an explosion of interest in stem cells, not just within the
scientific and medical communities but also among politicians, religious groups and ethicists. …

In this protocol, we describe how to isolate keratinocytes from adult mouse epidermis,
fractionate them into different sub-populations on the basis of cell surface markers and examine …

Scars are a serious health concern for burn victims and individuals with skin conditions
associated with wound healing. Here, we identify regenerative factors in neonatal murine skin …
