Measurement of the rate of epidermal terminal differentiation: Expression of involucrin by S-phase keratinocytes in culture and in psoriatic plaques
Robin Dover,Fiona M. Watt +1 more
TL;DR: The experiments show that temporal separation of proliferation and terminal differentiation is not obligatory, and thus, the kinetic organization of epidermis may be less rigid than some models imply.

Cultured composite skin grafts: biological skin equivalents permitting massive expansion
TL;DR: After assessment in mice, a biological skin equivalent consisting of cultured fibroblasts in a collagen gel overlain with cultured keratinocytes overlap was applied to three patients who had had tattoos excised and took well with good cosmetic results and little or no contracture.

Effect of retinoids on follicular cells
Gail S. Bazzano,Nia Terezakis,Hala Attia,Alicia Bazzano,Robin Dover,David A. Fenton,Nikki Mandir,Leonardo Celleno,Maria Tamburro,Stefano Jaconi +9 more
TL;DR: There appeared to be a relationship between the ability of retinoid to increase cRABP, increase 3H-thymidine incorporation, and alter the dynamics of the hair cycle and treatment of human dermal papilla cells in culture with retinoic acid does not appear to affect proliferation, at least at the doses tested.

Cell kinetics of the human hair follicle
TL;DR: An approach that has proved fruitful in other systems has been to define the rates of proliferation in different parts of the tissue, which can lead to identifying which cells are targets for growth regulation and provide information on how proliferation and differentiation are coordinated.

Survival of allogeneic cells in cultured organotypic skin-grafts
TL;DR: It is concluded that this organotypic skin graft shows potential toward the goal of allogeneic skin replacement in a one-step procedure.
