cells in the skin's lowest epidermal layer producing keratin

Basal keratinocytes are the cells located in the lowest layer of the epidermis, which is the outermost layer of the skin. These cells are responsible for producing keratin, a protein that helps protect the skin and underlying tissues. They also play a crucial role in skin regeneration by continuously dividing and pushing older cells towards the surface, where they eventually shed.
