Abstract excerpt
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) enhances the expression of the keratinocyte terminal differentiation marker SPRR2A, when added to monolayers of basal keratinocytes, induced to stratify by increasing the extracellular calcium concentration. A similar stimulation is found during suspension-induced differentiation in methylcellulose. This effect, which is observed after several hours of EGF addition, is restricted to...
