Migrating keratocytes cultured from a gold fish.

Faculty of Science, Yamaguchi Univ. Chika Okimura

Keratocytes are fish epithelial cells, which are responsible for skin wound healing. When fish skin is wounded by peeling of scales, etc, they began to migrate from the wounded margin to close the wound. During the crawling migration, individual keratocytes maintain constant shape just like "Yaki-Gyoza".
