Epidermal tissue regeneration in organotypic cocultures is mainly regulated by keratinocytes-derived interleukin-1 signaling, which induces keratinocyte growth factor expression in cocultured fibroblasts, demonstrating a novel role for interleucin- 1 in skin homeostasis substantiating data from wound healing studies in vivo.

Differential roles for Snail and E47 E-cadherin repressors in tumour progression where Snail is implicated in promoting the initial invasion and E 47 plays an active role in tumours cell growth by promoting angiogenesis are suggested.

A dynamic interaction and cooperation of epithelial and mesenchymal skin cells in basement membrane formation is demonstrated, stressing that both cell compartments are essential to constitute a tissue-specific extracellular matrix structure.

The combination of cells derived from mouse and human tissues facilitates the identification of the origin of compounds involved in epidermal tissue reconstitution and thus the precise analysis of growth regulatory mechanisms.

The spontaneous human keratinocyte line HaCaT and c-Ha-ras oncogene-transfected cell clones are capable of expressing an unusually broad spectrum of keratins, not observed so far in epithelial cells, and are excellent candidates for studying external modulators of differentiation and also underlying molecular mechanisms.
Organotypic keratinocyte cocultures in defined medium with regular epidermal morphogenesis and differentiation.

It is demonstrated that a defined medium (supplemented keratinocyte defined medium) supports epidermal morphogenesis in organotypic cocultures equally well as serum-containing medium (mixture of Ham's F12 and Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium), as documented by hallmarks of the epidersmal phenotype studied by immunofluorescence and electron microscopy.

An improved stabilized in vitro-model for long-term growth and differentiation of keratinocytes providing the basis for tissue homeostasis is presented and scaffold-based SEs for the first time provide proper experimental conditions for establishing a stem cell niche in vitro.
