Separation of Rat Epidermis and Dermis with Thermolysin to Detect Site-Specific Inflammatory mRNA and Protein

Xenoplastic combinations between chick chorionic epithelium and fetal monkey dermis
Abstract:
Fetel monkey dermis from the sole of the foot or ear induces the chick chorionic epithelum (CE) to form an epidermis that histologically resembles chick rather than monkey. These results support the conclusion that in epithelial-mesenchymal interactions between animals of different vertebrate classes the epithelium responds in a species-specific manner. Differences were noted, however, in the response of the avian CE to either the sole or ear dermis.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...

Underlying the papillary layer is the much thicker reticular layer, composed of dense, irregular connective...
Fetal Circulation
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
