title: Reporting live from the epidermal stem cell compartment!
abstract: Hair follicle regeneration is controlled by an intricate relationship between epidermal stem cells and their microenvironment. A recent report in Nature by Rompolas et al. (2012) uses two-photon live imaging to interrogate the spatial organization and cellular requirements for hair follicle regeneration by epidermal stem cells and their immediate progeny.
