First, a little history on Epidermal Growth Factor: in the 1950s, the scientists who discovered EGF, which is a polypeptide or protein that our bodies produce throughout our lives, were awarded the ...

When complex multicellular organisms grow and develop, their tissues must undergo remodeling. As new cells begin to proliferate, old ...

As new cells begin to proliferate, old cells must be removed to make room and maintain tissue balance and function. One ...

The story, told in Nature last month, starts with a disease called toxic epidermal necrolysis, or TEN. It is exceedingly rare ...

A team has developed a large-scale drug screening technique that can track target molecule behavior within cells. The researchers verified their technique by testing the epidermal growth factor ...

A study developed a new technique to accurately analyse the properties of cancer cells and the surrounding tissue at the level of individual cells. This innovation enables a more comprehensive ...

Stratum corneum: The outer layer of dead skin The stratum corneum contains dead skin cells that have been shed from the epidermis. Using facial scrubs and some other skin products helps remove or ...

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a protein on the surface of your cells that helps them grow. When the gene that codes for EGFR has a mutation, it affects the way this protein works ...

Formation of the skin barrier requires rapid proliferation coupled with differentiation and stratification of the embryonic epidermis. Basal progenitors give rise to progeny throughout development – ...
