Epidermal keratinocytes achieve sequential differentiation from basal to granular layers, and undergo a specific programmed cell death, cornification, to form an indispensable barrier of the body. Although elevation of the cytoplasmic calcium ion concentration ([Ca<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>i</sub>) is one of the factors predicted to regulate cornification, the dynamics of [Ca<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>i</sub> in epidermal keratinocytes is largely unknown. Here using intravital imaging, we captured the dynamics ...[more]
