Keratinocyte

Keratinocytes are the cells that make up the majority of the epidermis. They are produced in the basal layer and migrate toward the spinous layer, granular layer, and horny layer through repeated cell division. During this process, they change their shape, composition, and function into spinous cells, granular cells, and horny cells, and finally form scales peel off from the skin (such as dead skin and dandruff).
