epidermal stem cells

Epidermal stem cells are specialized cells found in the outer layer of the skin, known as the epidermis. They have the ability to divide and create new skin cells, helping to repair and regenerate the skin after injury or damage. These stem cells are crucial for maintaining healthy skin, as they replace older cells that naturally shed over time. They play a key role in healing wounds and supporting skin health, making them important for overall appearance and protection against environmental factors.
