Abstract

Epithelial Stem Cells Much remains to be known about how epithelial stem cells are generated and maintained. Lim et al. (p. 1226 ; see the Perspective by Frede and Jones ) describe a mechanism of stem cell maintenance where epidermal stem cells generate their own self-renewing Wnt signals rather than being controlled by adjacent “niche” signals. These stem cells also express secreted Wnt inhibitors that become localized to more differentiated progeny cells. These autocrine Wnt signals and paracrine long-range Wnt inhibitors may balance stem cell self-renewal and differentiation.
