Abstract

Skin derived precursors (SKP) comprise a subset of specialized dermal cells that can be distinguished from fibroblast by their capacity for spheroidal growth. Recent investigations have shown that hair follicles constitute a niche for this cell type, but their localization and their definite function in non-follicular skin remains largely unknown.
