Fibronectin and laminin production by human keratinocytes cultured in serumfree, low-calcium medium without a fibroblast feeder layer were examined by several techniques. By indirect immunofluorescence, fibronectin but not laminin appeared as short radial fibrils between the cells and the substratum

The hormonally active form of vitamin D3, 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2-D3; calcitriol], regulates the differentiation and proliferation of epidermal keratinocytes in vitro. MC 903 (calcipotriol) is a novel vitamin D3 analogue which is at least 100 times less potent than 1,25-(OH)-2-D3 in it
Trivalent cation lanthanum (La) binds to calcium binding sites of cells and either mimics the properties of calcium or inhibits the effects of calcium by displacing calcium from its binding sites. Extracellular calcium induces differentiation of human epidermal keratinocytes in culture, in part by i
