(stratum basale) of the skin are sometimes referred to as basal keratinocytes. Keratinocytes form a barrier against environmental damage by heat, UV radiation

Keratinocyte carcinomas (also termed keratinocyte cancers) are a group of nonmelanoma skin cancers arising from the keratinocyte found in the epidermis

(stratum granulosum) Keratinocytes lose their nuclei and their cytoplasm appears granular. Lipids, contained into those keratinocytes within lamellar bodies
