Pigmentary phenotype is genet- ically complex and at a physiological level complicated. Genes determining a number of rare Mendelian disorders of pigmentation such as albinism have been identified, but only one gene, the melanocortin 1 receptor (MCR1), has so far been identified to explain variation in the normal population such as that leading to red hair, freckling, and sun-sensitivity. Genotype-phenotype relations of the MC1R are reviewed, as well as methods to improve the phenotypic assessment of human pigmentary status. It is argued that given advances in model systems, increases in technical facility, and the lower cost of genotype assessment, the lack of standardized phenotype assessment is now a major limit on advance.

Identify the cell layers that constitute the epidermis and the differences between thick and thin skin. 3. Describe the cellular components of the epidermis and their function: keratinocytes, melanocytes, Langerhans cells and Merkel cells: 4. Describe the structural organization of the dermis and the components of the papillary and reticular layers. 5. Identify other structures present in the skin: vessels, skin sensorial receptors, hair follicles and hairs, nails and glands. 6. Understand the mechanism of skin repair 7. Describe histological findings in common skin diseases. Skin lecture notes 2 HISTOLOGY OF THE SKIN The skin is the heaviest, largest single organ of the body. It protects the body against physical, chemical and biological agents. The skin participates in the maintenance of body temperature and hydration, and in the excretion of metabolites. It also contributes to homeostasis through the production of hormones, cytokines and growth factors. 1. Describe the basic histological structure of the skin, identifying the layers of the skin and their embryologic origin. The skin is composed of the epidermis, an epithelial layer of ectodermal origin and the dermis, a layer of connective tissue of mesodermal origin. The hypodermis or subcutaneous tissue, which is not considered part of the skin proper, lies deep to the dermis and is formed by loose connective tissue that typically contains adipose cells. Skin layers 2. Identify the cell layers that constitute the epidermis and the differences between thick and thin skin.

General aspects of hair biology are reviewed, as well as the most recent contributions to understanding hair pigmentation and the regula- tion of hair development. Focus will also be placed on the techniques developed specifically for delivering compounds of varying chemical nature to the HF, indicating methods for genetic/biochemical modulation of HF components for the treatment of hair diseases.

Snyder, Ph.D. N. Sullivan, B.A. D. Margolis, M.D., Ph.D. K. Schoelles, M.D., S.M. ii Key Messages Purpose of Review To describe skin substitute products commercially available in the United States used to treat chronic wounds, examine systems used to classify skin substitutes, identify and assess randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and suggest best practices for future studies. Key Messages • We identified 76 commercially available skin substitutes to treat chronic wounds. The majority of these do not contain cells and are derived from human placental membrane (the placenta’s inner layer), animal tissue, or donated human dermis. • Included studies (22 RCTs and 3 systematic reviews) and ongoing clinical trials found during our search examine approximately 25 (33%) of these skin substitutes. • Available published studies rarely reported whether wounds recurred after initial healing. Studies rarely reported outcomes important to patients, such as return of function and pain relief. • Future studies may be improved by using a 4-week run-in period before study enrollment and at least a 12-week study period. They should also report whether wounds recur during 6-month followup.
