Researchers from Okayama University of Science have identified bitter taste receptors in keratinocytes (skin cells). Previously thought to exist only on the tongue, these receptors detect and ...

These results demonstrate the capacity of the four transcription factors to mediate reprogramming regardless of developmental origins and epigenetic states of a cell. In contrast to keratinocytes ...

The electric skin cell signals, which move at glacial pace compared to those in nerve cells, may play a role in initiating healing.

Glucose is life's main energy source. But a new study reveals a surprising role as a master manipulator of tissue maturation, hinting at its importance in diabetes and cancer.

They isolated keratinocytes, cells from the outermost layer of the skin, from diabetic mice and cultured them in lab dishes. Once the cells had formed a layer in the dish, the researchers introduced a ...

cell differentiation, and inflammation, in view of these binding capacities to various RAR receptors. Tazarotene down-regulates the abnormal expression of keratinocytes, epidermal growth factor ...

Beyond giving dry skin a helping hand, the properties of a barrier cream can be a salve to anyone experiencing an inflamed ...
