Epidermal cultures can treat skin diseases, such as Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa, but the signature of stem cells is unclear. By single cell RNAseq analyses on human keratinocytes, the authors identify the molecular profile of holoclones and the role of FOXM1 in regulating the proliferative potential of epidermal stem cells.
