The structure and function of the stratum corneum

International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2012
Over the past 150 years the skin's structure and function has been the subject of much investigation by scientists. The stratum corneum (SC), the skin's outermost layer and interface with the outside world is now well recognized as the barrier that prevents unwanted materials from entering, and excessive loss of water from exiting the body.

Hydration of stratum corneum

Biopolymers, 1973
AbstractA model for the hydration behavior of human stratum corneum has been developed from measurements on in vitro samples isolated in a manner which minimized tissue treatment and trauma. Water sorption/desorption rate measurements as a function of water activity, temperature, and tissue integrity are reported.

Hydration of the stratum corneum

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 1986
SynopsisTopically applied water, occlusion and topically applied glycerol were used to investigate and characterize some of the changes which occur in the hydrated stratum corneum. The effects of these treatments were monitored using non‐invasive techniques under controlled conditions.The Servomed Evaporimeter was used to determine natural water flux ...

The role of proteases in stratum corneum: involvement in stratum corneum desquamation

Archives of Dermatological Research, 1994
The effects of protease inhibitors on cell dissociation were studied in vitro in order to examine the involvement of proteases in stratum corneum desquamation. Stratum corneum sheet (peeled from human backs after sunburn) was incubated in a detergent mixture containing 8 mM N,N-dimethyldodecylamine oxide, 2 mM sodium lauryl sulphate and 60 micrograms ...

Ultrastructure of the Human Stratum corneum

Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2001
The ultrastructural study of the intercellular spaces of the human stratum corneum was based on transmission electron microscopy of thin vertical sections and freeze-fracture replicas, field emission scanning electron microscopy and immunofluorescence confocal laser scanning microscopy.
