Progenitor cells expressing nestin, a neural crest stem cell marker, differentiate into outer root sheath keratinocytes.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: These results suggest that progenitor cells that differentiate into ORS keratinocytes are distinct from those for other hair follicle or epidermal components and provide implications for regenerative medicine and the molecular classification of hair follicle tumours.
