Abstract

The in vitro growth of keratinocytes has proved to be an important tool in the study of the normal biology and disease processes involving the skin, e.g., the influence of extrinsic regulators of growth and differentiation, effects of pharmacological agents, dermo-epidermal interactions, tissue antigenicity, and models of carcinogenesis.
