Melanocytes, Dermal Fibroblasts, and Keratinocytes – Protectors to the External World

The Skin: A Multi-Cellular Barrier to the External World The skin is a multi-layered organ that covers the entire body and protects us from the external environment. The outermost layer, the epidermis, is largely composed of keratinocytes, which proliferate in the lower epidermis and migrate out, becoming post-mitotic and losing their nuclei, eventually becoming corneocytes.…

Making Strides in Skin Cell Research Utilizing Lifeline® Keratinocytes and Melanocytes

Cells of the Skin: Keratinocytes and Melanocytes The skin has three layers, the epidermis (outermost), the dermis (middle), and the hypodermis (the innermost). The epidermis is largely composed of keratinocytes, which form a barrier against the external environment and play a role in wound repair. Melanocytes are another common cell type found in the skin.…

Epidermal Cells – Our First Line of Defense — and Recent Studies

The skin is a multi-layered organ that covers the entire body and serves as a barrier to the outside environment. The outermost layer is called the epidermis and is composed largely of keratinocytes, which function to provide a barrier to pathogens, temperature, UV radiation, and other damaging environmental factors. Also contained in the epidermis are…

Mechanisms Driving Inflammation in Psoriasis

The Role of IL-22/PLCε Signaling in Psoriasis The outermost layer of the skin is the epidermis, which primarily functions as a protective mechanical barrier preventing the entry of harmful pathogens. The epidermis is predominantly composed of keratinocytes, but also contains other cell types like melanocytes, Langerhans cells, Merkel cells, and inflammatory cells. Psoriasis is a…
