Abstract

Epidermis can grow its surface by activating mitotic division in basal stem cells. In a recent issue of Nature, Chan et al. (2022) show that under high demand for new skin, differentiated epidermal cells in zebrafish divide without DNA synthesis, forming cells in the new surface with reduced and abnormal genomes.
