    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Skin Physiology
    • Integrative Biology

    Background:

    • Historically, histology and physiology of the skin were studied in isolation.
    • The skin is an intricate organization of multiple functional units, necessitating a holistic approach.
    • Recent research recognizes the impact of skin disorders on systemic health (circulatory, renal, gastrointestinal).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a personal commentary on understanding skin functional unit organization.
    • To discuss the achievements, failures, and future prospects in skin physiology.
    • To explore the interrelation between skin structure, function, and systemic health.

    Main Methods:

    • Review and commentary on existing research in skin biology.
    • Emphasis on the integration of structural and functional studies.
    • Analysis of endocrine and local regulatory mechanisms in skin physiology.

    Main Results:

    • Demolition of artificial barriers between skin histology and physiology.
    • Recognition of the skin's role in systemic diseases and vice versa.
    • Identification of hormonal regulation (endocrine and local) of skin functions.

    Conclusions:

    • A unified approach to studying skin structure and function is crucial.
    • Understanding the systemic implications of skin health is vital for patient care.
    • Investigating the interplay of central and local regulatory mechanisms in skin physiology offers promising research avenues.
