Could wounded skin someday regrow perfectly without scars? A new study by Harvard stem cell biologists published in Cell reveals a way to fully regenerate skin by unblocking an embryonic healing ...

The skin has two types of adult stem cells: epidermal and hair follicle. Their jobs seem well-defined: maintaining the skin, or maintaining hair growth. But as research from Rockefeller University has ...
