When in a biological process, less specialized cells evolves into more specialized ones, the process is called as cell differentiation. This process is mostly seen in multicellular organisms.
During this differentiation process, keratinocytes permanently withdraw from the cell cycle, initiate expression of epidermal differentiation markers, and move suprabasally as they become part of the stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum and eventually become corneocytes in the stratum corneum.ince keratinocyte differentiation inhibits keratinocyte proliferation, factors that promote keratinocyte proliferation should be considered as preventing differentiation. These factors include: 1  The transcription factor p63, which preventing epidermal stem cells to differentiate into keratinocytes.
