A recent series of papers, including Festa et al. (2011) in this issue, has revealed unexpected interdependent relationships among cell populations residing in and around the hair follicle. These interactions between different lineages of stem cells are crucial for hair follicle growth and cycling and point to a complex crosstalk in stem cell niches.
最近的一系列论文,包括本期杂志中的 Festa 等人的论文(2011 年),揭示了存在于毛囊内和周围的细胞群体之间出人意料的相互依存关系。这些不同谱系干细胞之间的相互作用对于毛囊的生长和周期至关重要,并表明干细胞龛之间存在复杂的串扰。
