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.

[Stratum corneum].

Der Hautarzt; Zeitschrift fur Dermatologie, Venerologie, und verwandte Gebiete, 1997
The stratum corneum, the barrier layer, is very thin, and can be removed with scotch tape and by applying scotch tape to the skin repeatedly for 15 or 20 times.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Development of the stratum corneum

British Journal of Dermatology, 2014
In 2015, Professor Ronald (Ronnie) Marks will celebrate his 80th birthday and the 35th year since assuming the Chair of Dermatology at the University of Wales College of Medicine in Cardiff, Wales. Ronnie's long and prolific career is well deserving of a celebratory Festschrift.

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.

Polymorphism in stratum corneum lipids

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 1994
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was employed to investigate the thermotropic phase behavior of stratum corneum lipid multilamellae. Stratum corneum (SC), the uppermost layer of mammalian skin, is unusual in many respects. It has been demonstrated that the lipids of the stratum corneum provide the primary electrical and transport ...

Stratum corneum Lipid Function

Dermatologica, 2009
The stratum corneum contains a complex mixture of polar and nonpolar lipids in its intercellular spaces. These lipids, present in form of multiple lamellae, have been investigated for their role in providing the epidermal barrier to transcutaneous water loss, the selective barrier from the inside to the outside of the organism and partly the process of

The stratum corneum: a double paradox

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2008
SummaryThe stratum corneum (SC) (i.e., the outermost layer of human skin) is a complex and paradoxical tissue composed of corneocytes and a matrix of intercellular lipids playing an essential role as the skin's protective barrier. The first paradox of SC is its dual nature.
