The document reviewed the advancements in understanding keratinocyte biology and pathology, highlighting the evolution of knowledge since the 1990s. It emphasized the epidermis as a complex organ involved in homeostasis, immune response, and sensory functions. The study at the University of Bern contributed to identifying new control mechanisms, such as epigenetic regulation, and molecular alterations in dogs with atopic dermatitis. The research also explored the self-renewal capacity of keratinocytes and hair follicles, which has implications for hair follicle disorders and regenerative medicine. Despite significant progress, the authors acknowledged that much remains to be discovered in this field.
