#V4SDB2025 #conference #developmentalbiology #evodevo #morphogenesis #organoids #stemcells #plasticity
Krzysztof will talk about the largest tissue of our body - the skin, and how hair follicle stem cells are involved in hair regeneration, covering the Bmp-Id2 axis and its role in quiescence.
#V4SDB2025 #conference #developmentalbiology #evodevo #morphogenesis #organoids
And we proceed with an exciting talk by Krzysztof Kobielak from the University of Warsaw, The BMP-ID2 Axis Reveals a Reversible Hair Follicle Stem Cells Gene Network That Regulates Intrinsic Oscillations Between Opposing States During Hair Regeneration
