Interestingly, virus replication was more robust in the epidermal layer than the dermal layers on a per gram basis. Additionally, the infectious virus was detected on the epidermal surface within ...

As a result, the epidermal layers separate or the epidermis separates completely from the dermis. Adhesive removal itself results in detachment of varying amounts of superficial epidermal cell ...

The outermost layer is the bloodless epidermis. The dermis includes collagen, elastin, and nerve endings. The innermost layer, subcutaneous fat, contains tissue that acts as an energy source ...

They created a human skin explant system using full-thickness skin biopsies from healthy individuals, which contained both deeper (dermal), and surface (epidermal) layers of skin. To study how ...

Thick keratin layer would restrict oxygen exchange and water absorption. Amphibians have many mucus glands to reduce water loss. As a result of this skin, they are restricted to moist, humid habitats.
