ABSTRACT
The bulge of hair follicles contains a mixed population of stem cells,including epidermal stem cells,neural crest stem cells,as well as another type of stem cells which can be induced into melanocytes.Bulge stem cells have the ability to divide,proliferate and are pluripotent as other adult stem cells.The neural crest stem cells can differentiate in vitro into neurons,glia and melanocytes under proper induction.Meanwhile,it was proved that implanting these cells into the gap region of damaged nerves could greatly enhance the regeneration rate of nerve and restoration of nerve function.In this review,distribution of the stated stem cells in hair follicle bulge and their characteristics of differentiating into neurons were discussed,as well as their possible application in regenerative medicine.
