Illustration of the three division hypotheses.

(a) Keratinocytes represented by spheres. (b) The three division hypotheses are illustrated. The strength of adhesion to the basement membrane is qualitatively represented by green lines resembling adhesive molecules (e.g. β1 integrin). In the asymmetry division case, the adhesive strength reduces progressively after each division43.
