This Episode's Stem Cell Roundup:
- Why Some Skin Is More Sensitive – By imaging neurons in mice, researchers found that sensory neurons in areas of the body that are more sensitive to touch form stronger connections to the brain stem.
- Hair Shaft Shrinkage Depletes Stem Cells – Shrinking of the hair shaft causes hair follicle stem cell loss through Piezo1 signaling.
- Genetic Regulation of Brain Development – Scientists identified a transcription factor expressed in neural progenitors that influences developmental timing in the early human brain.
- The Emergence of Rabbit Primordial Germ Cells – Researchers studied rabbit primordial germ cells during gastrulation, and used iPSCs to generate rabbit primordial germ cell-like cells.
