Loricrin and NRF2 Coordinate Cornification

Cornification involves cytoskeletal cross-linkages in corneocytes (the brick) and the secretion of lipids/adhesion structures to the interstitial space (the mortar). Because the assembly of lipid envelopes precedes corneocyte maturation, loricrin is supposed to be dispensable for the protection agai...
