A keratin code defines the textile nature of epithelial tissue architecture
Curr Opin Cell Biol. 2023 Sep 12;85:102236. doi: 10.1016/j.ceb.2023.102236. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe suggest that the human body can be viewed as of textile nature whose fabric consists of interconnected fiber systems. These fiber systems form highly dynamic scaffolds, which respond to environmental changes at different temporal and spatial scales. This is especially relevant at sites where epithelia border on connective tissue regions that are exposed to dynamic microenvironments. We propose that the enormous heterogeneity and adaptability of epithelia are based on a "keratin code", which results from the cell-spe...
