Abstract

Graphic abstract

The skin epidermis and appendages undergo ongoing renewal throughout life. Stem cells residing in the epidermis and hair follicles are pivotal for sustaining skin homeostasis. The self-renewal ability of stem cells significantly decreases during skin aging but actively increases during wound repair. Residential stem cells reside in niches that provide spatially distinct microenvironments for stem cell maintenance and function. Cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) adhesion is essential for the establishment of niche architecture. Collagen XVII (COL17), as a transmembrane protein constituting hemidesmosomes (HDs), mediates the interactions of stem cells with surrounding cells and the matrix to regulate skin homeostasis, aging and wound repair. This review focuses on the pivotal role of the niche component COL17 in stem cell maintenance and its function in regulation of skin aging and wound repair.
