Keratinocyte growth factor: effects on keratinocytes and mechanisms of action
European Journal of Cell Biology, 2004 Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) is a potent and specific mitogen for different types of epithelial cells, and it can protect these cells from various insults. Due to these properties, it is of particular importance for the repair of injured epithelial tissues, and it is currently therapeutically explored for the treatment of radiation- and ...

Epidemiology of Keratinocyte Carcinoma [PDF]
Current Dermatology Reports, 2017 To provide a synopsis of recent research advances in the epidemiology of keratinocyte carcinoma (KC), with a focus on indoor tanning and known risk factors for other forms of cancer such as cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking.The evidence is strong enough to infer that use of UVR-emitting indoor tanning devices cause KC.

Keratoblast and Keratocyte, not Keratinocyte [PDF]
Nature, 1972 CELLS of both the reproductive and functional compartments of oral and cutaneous epithelia are at present indiscriminately called “keratinocytes”. The two types of cells, however, differ markedly in function and fate, and it is therefore logical, as well as useful, to distinguish them by different terms.
