Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Stem cell behaviour is controlled by intrinsic mechanisms and by external signals from the local microenvironment or niche. Using cultures of human epidermal stem cells, my lab is investigating the interplay between specific intrinsic and extrinsic signals in regulating stem cell fate. We have been able to define soluble factors, cell surface ligands and extracellular matrix components that control exit from the stem cell compartment.
