[en] Multipotent stem cells of adult skin are found in distinct biological locations identified as niches. These stem cell populations are defined by specific molecular and functional attributes. The epidermal stem cells are found in the interfollicular areas and in the bulge and isthmus of the hair follicles. Dermal stem cells are harbored in the peripilar connective tissue sheaths and in the hair papilla. Some skin stem cells are found in extracutaneous sites. Other stem cells are involved in pathology, such as neoplastic stem cells identified in malignant melanomas.
