basal layer

Below the keratinocytes is the basal layer, where new skin cells are born.

It is continuous with the basal layer of the interfollicular epidermis (skin).

Papillomaviruses replicate exclusively in the basal layer of the body surface tissues.

The moisturizers increase the rate of cell renewal at the skin's basal layer, bringing new cells to the surface.

New cells are born in the second or basal layer of skin, at the bottom of the epidermis.

The phialides are arranged in a basal layer, and borne on short conidiophores.

When cells leave the basal layer they cease to divide and begin to mature into the tough dead cells that cover the surface.

Melanocytes comprise from 5% to 10% of the cells in the basal layer of epidermis.

Melanocytes are cells which reside in the basal layer of the gingival epithelium.

The basal layer is thinner than the others, so the blastocyst cannot enter and penetrate in the endometrium.

They are pushed upward into the stratum spinosum by the continuous formation of new cells in the basal layer.

The basal layer is a stem cell layer and through asymmetrical divisions, becomes the source of skin cells throughout life.

The melanin in the skin is produced by melanocytes, which are found in the basal layer of the epidermis.

During embryogenesis, the epidermis splits into two layers: the periderm (which is lost) and the basal layer.

Spinous cells originate through mitosis in the basal layer (also known as the germinative layer).

Therefore, unlike functional layer, basal layer does not undergo typical cyclic changes with menstrual cycle.

In addition to esophageal infiltration, an expansion of the basal layer is seen in response to the inflammatory damage to the epithelium.

Stratum basale (basal layer)

Epidermis growth take place by mitotic activity in its deepest layer, into the basal layer, with slow outward migration and maturation of cells.

As this proliferation continues with the epithelial mass increasing in size by division of the cells on periphery corresponding to basal layer of surface epithelium.

It also descends beneath the surface of the surrounding waters to a depth of 80,000 yojanas, being founded upon the basal layer of Earth.

This type II cytokeratin is specifically expressed in the basal layer of the epidermis with family member KRT14.

It grows at its margins, away from the centre, and is able to quickly repair any gaps arising by regenerating from a basal layer of cells.

When the keratinocytes are exposed to UVA radiation the rays can cause damage to the basal layer where most skin cancer can occur.

Slight injuries in the mucous membrane serve as an entry gate for HPV, which thus works into the basal layer of the epithelium.
