GlossaryHaCaT keratinocytes

immortalized human skin cells used in research

HaCaT keratinocytes are a type of human skin cell that has been immortalized, meaning they can divide indefinitely in laboratory conditions. These cells are commonly used in scientific research to study skin biology, wound healing, and diseases like psoriasis and skin cancer because they closely mimic the behavior of normal human skin cells.
