On a receiver operating characteristic curve, the best discriminator was the highest value of keratinocyte growth factor within 5 days after birth. |
In a new study, researchers assessed the risk of keratinocyte carcinoma associated with the use of three UV nail lamp models. |
Retinoids appear to act directly on the keratinocyte cells to suppress their abnormal proliferation and differentiation in the psoriatic plaque. |
The cytological action will be to supply the keratinocyte cells an information destined to calm the abnormal mitosis triggered off by the activation of the genes. |
During this epidermal differentiation, the keratinocyte loses its nucleus, fills with keratin and fabricates the intercorneocytory cement. |
Under investigation is also a recombinant human keratinocyte growth factor as a treatment for mucositis of the mouth and throat that is often seen with radiotherapy. |
