Are skin cells unipotent

Yes, skin cells are considered unipotent because they are primarily responsible for producing only one type of cell—keratinocytes, which make up the majority of the epidermis. While they can regenerate and replace themselves, they do not have the ability to differentiate into other cell types, unlike multipotent or pluripotent stem cells. This unipotency is crucial for the maintenance and repair of the skin barrier.
