Summary
This course explores how stem cell fate and behaviors are regulated in the skin epithelium during homeostasis, injury, and tumorigenesis. Students gain knowledge of skin biology and experience with ex vivo approaches to study cell behaviors required to maintain or restore barrier function.
Content
This 3-day practical course introduces students to how stem cell fate and behavior are regulated in the skin epithelium during homeostasis, injury, and tumorigenesis. Through a combination of short lectures and hands-on laboratory sessions, students will gain foundational knowledge of skin biology and practical experience with ex vivo methods to investigate how epithelial cells contribute to homeostasis and repair. By the end of the course, students will be able to:1) Describe the organization and function of the skin epithelium, 2) Explain how stem cell behavior is modulated during regeneration and tumor initiation.
