Skin grafts : local quest for viable alternatives to autologous grafts using silk and acellular dermal matrices [PDF]
The gold standard with regards to skin transplantation is the use of the patient’s own skin obtained from a healthy donor site. Such grafts can be either full thickness skin or more commonly nowadays, split thickness skin.

Mammalian Epidermis: A Compendium of Lipid Functionality
Mammalian epidermis is a striking example of the role of lipids in tissue biology. In this stratified epithelium, highly specialized structures are formed that leverage the hydrophobic properties of lipids to form an impermeable barrier and protect the ...
