Resolving Water, Proteins, and Lipids from In Vivo Confocal Raman Spectra of Stratum Corneum through a Chemometric Approach

Abstract:
Lipid granules have been found in the cytoplasm of odontoblasts and in the odontoblastic extensions within the dentinal tubules. It is suggested that these granules represent specific activity on the part of the normal cell as well as an increase in number after injury. While they are not limited to occurrence within the vacuoles in the cytoplasm of the odontoblasts, the relationship of the granules to the vacuoles suggests that the vacuoles are also a part of the physiologic activity of the adult odontoblasts.

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.
