Studysummary This study suggests that basonuclin in keratinocytes is likely a regulatory molecule linked to maintaining proliferative capacity and preventing terminal differentiation rather than a cell cycle marker.

research Characterization of Sciellin, a Precursor to the Cornified Envelope of Human Keratinocytes

64 citations , April 1992 in “Differentiation”

This study identified Sciellin, a new protein precursor to the cornified envelope in keratinocytes, with unique solubility properties hinting at its potential role in envelope assembly.

research Human Hair Growth In Vitro

385 citations , November 1990 in “Journal of Cell Science”

This study successfully grew and maintained human hair follicles in vitro, noting that TGF-β1 negatively affects growth, while EGF replicates hair-removal effects seen in animals.
