Citation | Elaine Fuchs transformed our understanding of skin stem cells and their application to regenerative medicine, geneticsyndromes and cancers. On the cusp of recombinant-DNA, she began making groundbreaking molecular inroads into skin stem cells and their balance of growth and differentiation. In cloning skin proteins and elucidating how they protect progenitors from mechanical stress, Fuchs pioneered reverse genetics-starting with proteins and working to causative human disease-mutations. She systematically advanced these now-classic mouse genetic approaches in imaginative ways to beautifully dissect the signaling pathways and transcriptional controls that orchestrate how stem cells make and repair tissues, and go awry in malignancies. |
