Figure 1. Epigenetic regulation of homeostatic skin and wound repair.

Figure 1

(A) Schematic view of skin with overlying epidermis, HFs, blood vessels and cells of interest (defined below). Outlined boxes denote epigenetic factors involved in maintenance and proliferation of IFE SCs, follicular SCs and those involved in IFE SC differentiation. Factors whose roles have only been studied in embryogenesis are defined as “embryo”. All others have established roles in the adult. (B) Schematic of skin after full thickness wounding. New blood vessels within the wound are shown. Speculative views of epigenetic alterations are in gray boxes.
