The stratum corneum (SC) provides multiple defensive functions beyond just permeability barrier homeostasis. This review explores how these interconnected SC defenses share common biochemical processes and localization.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Skin Biology
  • Epidermal Physiology

Background:

  • The epidermis, particularly the stratum corneum (SC), performs numerous protective functions.
  • The term "barrier function" is often narrowly defined as permeability barrier homeostasis, overlooking other SC defensive roles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and explore the interconnectedness of multiple defensive functions of the stratum corneum.
  • To highlight shared biochemical processes and localization among these SC functions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of epidermal and stratum corneum functions.
  • Analysis of shared biochemical pathways and structural localization of defensive mechanisms.

Main Results:

  • The stratum corneum exhibits multiple defensive functions beyond permeability barrier homeostasis.
  • These diverse SC functions are linked through shared localization and common biochemical processes.

    • Conclusions:

    • The stratum corneum's defensive capabilities are multifaceted and interconnected.
    • Understanding these links is crucial for comprehending overall epidermal protection and homeostasis.
