Study on the lipid organization of stratum corneum lipid models by (cryo-) electron diffraction

The barrier function of the skin resides in the stratum corneum (SC). This outermost layer consists of protein-rich corneocytes and lipid-rich intercellular domains. These domains form the rate-limiting step for transepidermal water loss and the penetration of substances from the environment. To stu...
