Regeneration of collagen fibrils at the papillary dermis by reconstructing basement membrane at the dermal–epidermal junction
Abstract The epidermal basement membrane deteriorates with aging. We previously reported that basement membrane reconstruction not only serves to maintain epidermal stem/progenitor cells in the epidermis, but also increases collagen fibrils in the papillary dermis. Here, we investigated the mechanis...
