    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Biochemistry
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • The stratum corneum's barrier function is crucial for skin health.
    • Understanding desquamation (skin shedding) mechanisms is vital for dermatological research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a novel heterogeneous two-compartment model of the stratum corneum.
    • To elucidate the regulatory role of intercellular lipids in barrier function and desquamation.

    Main Methods:

    • Review and synthesis of recent morphologic data.
    • Analysis of histochemical findings.
    • Integration of biochemical evidence.

    Main Results:

    • A proposed two-compartment model of the stratum corneum.

  • Identification of intercellular lipids as key regulators of desquamation.
  • Conclusions:

    • The stratum corneum functions as a heterogeneous two-compartment system.
    • Intercellular lipids play a pivotal role in maintaining skin barrier integrity and regulating desquamation.
