Located at the skin surface, keratinocytes (KCs) are constantly exposed to external stimuli
and are the first responders to invading pathogens and injury. Upon skin injury, activated …

Keratins—types I and II—are the intermediate-filament-forming proteins expressed in
epithelial cells. They are encoded by 54 evolutionarily conserved genes (28 type I, 26 type …

Abstract We report the∼ 2.66-Gb genome sequence of a female Yunnan black goat. The
sequence was obtained by combining short-read sequencing data and optical mapping data …

Historically, the term 'keratin'stood for all of the proteins extracted from skin modifications,
such as horns, claws and hooves. Subsequently, it was realized that this keratin is actually a …

Keratin expression in human tissues and neoplasms Keratin filaments constitute type I and
type II intermediate filaments (IFs), with at least 20 subtypes named keratin 1–20. Since …

The maintenance of a healthy corneal epithelium under both normal and wound healing
conditions is achieved by a population of stem cells (SC) located in the basal epithelium at …

This study was undertaken to evaluate keratin 19 (K19) as a biochemical marker for skin
stem cells in order to address some long standing questions concerning these cells in the …

In their contribution to the first edition of this Handbook, entitled" The Teeth," LEHNER and
PLENK (1936) discussed the tissues constituting the" perio dontium" rather briefly. In …

substrate for culturing oral epithelial cells and to investigate the possibility of using …

The epidermis is a dynamic, continually renewing structure that provides the organism with a
life-sustaining interface with the environment. The major cell type of the epidermis, the …
