The first cultured cell type used for therapy was the keratinocyte of the epidermis, for the treatment of burns. |
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. |
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. |
Stem keratinocyte cells, which are located in the basal layer of the epidermis, differentiate into different subtypes. |
This genetic illness essentially concerns the keratinocyte cell carriers of the « Psoriasis » genes. |
T cell-driven inflammation is responsible for the keratinocyte growth and the angiogenesis seen in the psoriatic plaque, as has become clear in recent years. |
