Keratinization is the process by which epithelial cells mature and differentiate to form a protective barrier.
The outermost layer of skin, the epidermis, undergoes keratinization, which involves the production of keratin, a protein that gives skin its strength and resilience.
During keratinization, the cells gradually lose their nuclei and organelles, becoming filled with keratin filaments.
As the cells move towards the skin's surface, they harden and lose their ability to divide, eventually forming the outermost layer known as the stratum corneum.
