| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we investigated whether nestin-expressing neural stem cells and their descendants can be mixed in keratin 15-expressing hair follicle bulge stem cells. We also aimed to generate plasmid constructs to investigate the fate of epithelial-neural stem cells. In murine anagen and hair follicle bulge, keratin 15-expressing cells with features of nestin-expressing cells or their descendants could not be detected by immunofluorescence analysis. Meanwhile, we could successfully generated plusmid constructs that could express FlpERT2, which induces Flp-FRT site specific recombination under the presence of tamoxifen, by Cre-loxP recombination in keratin 15 and nestin co-expressing cells.
