How can you use “epidermal” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
One target for kinase inhibitors is the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).
Furthermore, histological examination of new epidermal cells in the wound bed and Northern analysis of expression of a wound keratinocyte marker, cytokeratin 14, in the biopsied tissues revealed that reepithelialization in SPARC-null mice was probably not compromised.
A full length murine cDNA representing Langerhans cell protein 1 (LCP1) was originally cloned from maturing epidermal Langerhans cells, while its human homologue KIAA0737 was cloned from human brain [ 29 ] as was a cDNA encoding TNRC9 (also known as CAGF9) [ 32 ] . Searches of the EST database confirm that all family members are expressed at the level of mRNA, and we have shown that KIAA0808 is expressed at the level of protein using a cross-reactive anti-TOX antisera (data not shown).
The membrane-bound precursor and soluble forms of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) contribute to a variety of cellular developmental processes [ 1 ] . The observations of HB-EGF in cell and tissue types have suggested roles for HB-EGF in numerous cellular and tissue events such as: cell movement, extracellular matrix formation, tumor formation and cell adherence [ 1 ] . As described above, the membrane-bound precursor of HB-EGF (proHB-EGF) is also the cell-surface receptor for diphtheria toxin (DT) in DT-sensitive cells [ 2 ] .
Cytokeratin 14 expression is associated with proliferative epidermal keratinocytes at wound sites [ 24 ] . Such expression in control unwounded skin (0 day) is, as expected, very low but increased appreciably by day 2 after wounding with peak expression at day 4. Interestingly, expression of cytokeratin 14 was up-regulated in the normal epidermis and neoepidermis of SPARC-null mice relative to those of wild-type mice (Fig.
