Progress in our understanding of skin biology and disease has been greatly advanced by the use of epidermal cell cultures. The Keratinocyte Core is designed to support and attract new investigators in skin biology by providing a reliable supply of highly purified preparations of human and mouse epidermal keratinocytes at a reduced cost. In addition, the Core will train researchers in the development and use of these various cell culture systems. In cases where more permanent cultures are required, immortalization and long-term culture techniques will be applied to human and mouse keratinocytes. The Core will serve as a resource for: 1) storing these cells and bulk tissue culture supplies; 2) transmitting expertise and techniques for studying keratinocytes; and 3) providing access to larger equipment suitable for keratinocyte biology (e.g., a UV irradiation lamp box, a humidified variable aerobic workstation for hypoxia studies, and a Nikon inverted microscope integrated for live cell imaging of linear scratch wounds). The Core will also provide training and supplies for a three-dimensional organotypic model for human epidermis that permits analysis of factors controlling the formation and organization of this stratified epithelium during development and in wound healing processes. Collectively, the Core will offer the necessary materials and expertise for NU SDRC investigators to better develop novel cell and molecular based strategies towards curing skin diseases and will help foster new collaborations among groups with the common goal of understanding the biology of epithelial cells.

我们对皮肤生物学和疾病的理解的进展已经通过使用 表皮细胞培养角质细胞核心旨在支持和吸引新的研究人员在皮肤 通过提供可靠的高度纯化的人和小鼠表皮细胞制剂， 以降低的成本获得角质形成细胞。此外，该核心将培训研究人员开发和使用 这些不同的细胞培养系统。在需要更持久培养的情况下， 并将长期培养技术应用于人和小鼠角质形成细胞。核心将作为 一个资源：1）储存这些细胞和大量组织培养用品; 2）传播专业知识， 用于研究角质形成细胞的技术;和3）提供适合于角质形成细胞的较大设备的使用 生物学（例如，紫外线照射灯箱，用于低氧研究的加湿可变有氧工作站， 尼康倒置显微镜集成用于线性划痕伤口的活细胞成像）。核心也将 为人类表皮的三维器官型模型提供培训和用品， 在发育过程中控制这种复层上皮形成和组织的因素分析 和伤口愈合过程中。总的来说，核心将提供必要的材料和专门知识， NU SDRC研究人员更好地开发基于细胞和分子的治疗皮肤的新策略 疾病，并将有助于促进团体之间的新合作，共同目标是了解 上皮细胞生物学
