Our biomimetic skin phantom is made of two layers that capture the nuances of both the skin’s surface and deeper tissues.

In human epidermis, the molecular events that orchestrate cell death leading to proper barrier formation by the stratum corneum must be properly timed and coordinated for terminal differentiation ...

Cornified scales of reptiles increased their capacity to live in terrestrial environments. The stratum corneum is very thin, with little keratin. Skin is used for gas exchange. Thick keratin layer ...

Human skin is complex ... The top layer mimics the outermost part of the skin, known as the stratum corneum. It is made from a silicone-like material called PDMS, which is mixed with special ...

In a human clinical study ... Other methods to mechanically disrupt the stratum corneum, such as skin stripping with tapes or glues 18, are painful and poorly reproducible. In a similar study ...
