Epidermal Permeability Barrier and Other Topics

A historical review on the epidermal permeability barrier: Elias has published a historical review on the epidermal permeability barrier dating from the early days at Harvard to newly emerging concepts. This is a must-read article if you are the least bit interested in skin physiology. I will attempt to cover the highlights here. Elias begins with the statement, “Perhaps no tissue is so physically maligned by processing for light/electron microscopy as is the stratum corneum (SC). To further complicate matters, no tissue of such critical importance for survival has been so intellectually maligned as well.” He then traces the work of now famous investigators including Kligman, Blank and Scheuplein.

UV-Induced Stress and Other Topics

Care Boron and manganese salts and keratinocytes: Chebassier et al report on the stimulatory effect of boron and manganese salts on keratinocytes.
