  1. keratinisation

    Keratinisation is a biological process in which keratinocytes (specialised cells in the epithelial tissue) produce and fill up with a protein called keratin, leading to the hardening and strengthening of the tissue. This process occurs in the skin, hair, and nails, providing them with resistance to mechanical stress and forming an external barrier to protect the body from physical damage, harmful substances, and pathogens.
