To investigate the role of dermal fibroblasts in the maintenance of epidermal stem cells and skin function.
Examined the effects of dermal fibroblast depletion during skin development and adult homeostasis.
Utilized controlled experimental observations and analyses of skin function.
Included assessments of epidermal proliferation and overall skin health.
Dermal fibroblast depletion had minimal effects on epidermal proliferation rates.
Skin function remained largely unchanged despite significant loss of fibroblasts.
Findings suggest alternative pathways may support epidermal stem cell maintenance.
