Abstract: Significance: Keratinocytes, a major cellular component of the epidermis, are responsible for restoring the epidermis after injury through a process termed epithelialization. This review will focus on the pivotal role of keratinocytes in epithelialization, including cellular processes and mechanisms of their regulation during re-epithelialization, and their cross talk with other cell types participating in wound healing. Recent Advances: Discoveries in epidermal stem cells, keratinocyte immune function, and the role of the epidermis as an independent neuroendocrine organ will be reviewed. Novel mechanisms of gene expression regulation important for re-epithelialization, including microRNAs and histone modifications, will also be discussed. Critical Issues: Epithelialization is an essential component of wound healing used as a defining parameter of a successful wound closure. A wound cannot be considered healed in the absence of re-epithelialization. The epithelialization process is impaired in all types o...

Isolation of Epidermal Keratinocytes from Human Skin: The Scratch-Wound Assay for Assessment of Epidermal Keratinocyte Migration.
TL;DR: In vitro scratch-wound assay using monolayers of primary human epidermal keratinocytes is a straightforward and effective method to assess their migratory capacity, particularly when using primary cell cultures where donor variability may also impact on results.

Ru Cao,Liangjun Wang,Hengbin Wang,Li Xia,Hediye Erdjument-Bromage,Paul Tempst,Richard S. Jones,Yi Zhang +7 more
TL;DR: The purification and characterization of an EED-EZH2 complex, the human counterpart of the Drosophila ESC-E(Z) complex, is reported, and it is demonstrated that the complex specifically methylates nucleosomal histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3-K27).

Regulation of Wound Healing by Growth Factors and Cytokines
Sabine Werner,Richard Grose +1 more
TL;DR: This review summarizes the results of expression studies that have been performed in rodents, pigs, and humans to localize growth factors and their receptors in skin wounds and reports on genetic studies addressing the functions of endogenous growth factors in the wound repair process.
Growth factors and cytokines in wound healing.
TL;DR: A review of the specific roles of these growth factors and cytokines during wound healing can be found in this article, where patients are treated by three growth factors: PDGF-BB, bFGF, and GM-CSF.
