Abstract

Abstract: The epidermis is a crucial barrier for people to sustain life and maintain our organs in their functions. Epidermal stem cells(ESCs)play an important role in the process of maintaining epidermis balance and repairing the damaged ones, as they can differentiate into the layers of skin tissue, so that the epidermis is always in the state of continuous proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. With the rapid development of cell biology, people growingly realize the vital role of ESCs. In this paper, research progress of epidermal stem cells, with the emphasis on the classification of epidermal stem cells, orientation, characteristics, functions and application prospect, purport for related researchers of epidermal stem cells biological characteristics and application have more comprehensive understanding.

Key words: epidermal stem cells, classification, positioning, feature, function, application prospect
