Structural organization of the Basal layer and morphofunctional characteristics of mouse epidermal cambial cells.

摘要

The basal layer of mouse skin epidermis consists of special structures - rosettes functionally arranged in zones including about 20 rosettes. The rosette contains a central cambial cell; after division of this cell the mother cell remains in the center of the rosette and the daughter cell migrated to the center of a free rosette. The mother and daughter cells are dipole cells (sources of electric field). If the disposition of mother cells is unidirectional and they predominate over daughter cells, the latter cells transform into other cells, i. e. are differentiated.
