Mechanical Properties of the Human Stratum Corneum: Hydration Effects on Graded Delamination of Human Stratum Corneum
Reinhold Dauskardt Stanford University, Professor Materials Sciences and Engineering The stratum corneum (SC) is the outermost layer of the skin. Its process of reneweal is regulated by various mechanisms, including chemical and structural gradients through the SC thickness. In this study, an in vitro mechanics approach for studying the delamination behavior of SC in the direction perpendicular...
متن کاملSorption properties of the human stratum corneum.
Water sorption is important for the overall structure and function of keratinized tissues such as the human epidermal stratum corneum (SC). In this study we report on a gravimetric method for studying sorption properties of human SC, both from heel and female breast skin. Changes in mass were measured as the relative humidity was altered in steps under controlled environmental conditions. The p...
متن کاملSkin diseases associated with the depletion of stratum corneum lipids and stratum corneum lipid substitution therapy.
The skin is the largest organ of the body, whose main function is to protect the body against the loss of physiologically important components as well as harmful environmental insults. From the inside to the outside, the skin comprises three major structural layers: the hypodermis, the dermis and the epidermis. The epidermis contains four different sublayers, the stratum corneum (SC), stratum g...

متن کاملSkin barrier function and stratum corneum hydration
Under normal circumstances, epidermis must be as impermeable as possible except for a small amount of water loss to hydrate the outer layers of the SC. Although all living cells require water to function, some “dead” cells also require water to be metabolically active. As it is the case of corneocytes, epidermis must retain sufficient water to (a) hydrate the outer layers of the SC to maintain ...
