View full abstract and other project information on NIH RePORTER Go To NIH RePORTER Excerpt: The proposed continuation study is designed to leverage information from our prior comprehensive characterization of subsets of hair follicle (HF) melanocyte stem cells (McSCs); to determine how a subset of skin-derived stem cells exhibiting the potential to myelinate neurons can be isolated from mammalian skin and utilized therapeutically. The rationale for the study is based upon our prior work demonstrating that CD34+ McSCs, located in the HF bulge, exhibit a neural crest stem cell phenotype... |
