Sweat glands are abundant in the body and essential for thermoregulation. Like mammary
glands, they originate from epidermal progenitors. However, they display few signs of …

The human body is covered with several million sweat glands. These tiny coiled tubular skin
appendages produce the sweat that is our primary source of cooling and hydration of the …

Lineage tracing involves labeling cells to track their subsequent behavior within the normal
tissue environment. The advent of genetic lineage tracing and cell proliferation assays …

Sweat glands perform a vital thermoregulatory function in mammals. Like other skin
components, they originate from epidermal progenitors. However, they have low …

The mammalian skin epidermis and its hair and sweat gland appendages provide a
protective barrier that retains essential body fluids, guards against invasion by harmful …

Epithelial stem cells in the skin are specified during development and are governed by
epithelial–mesenchymal interactions to differentially adopt the cell fates that enable them to …

Salivary glands have an essential secretory function for maintaining oral and overall health.
The epithelial compartment of the gland is composed of several highly specialized cell types …

Regeneration of sweat glands after deep burns has been an unsolved problem. Owing to
lack of perspiration, survivors of an extensive deep burn injury are leading a miserable life in …

Activation of epithelial stem cells and efficient recruitment of their proliferating progeny plays
a critical role in cutaneous wound healing. The reepithelialized wound epidermis has a …

The epidermis is the outermost layer of mammalian skin and comprises a multilayered
epithelium, the interfollicular epidermis, with associated hair follicles, sebaceous glands …
