It is at its thinnest on the eyelids, at .05 mm, and at its thickest on the palms and soles at 1.5 mm. As a specialized non-vascularised stratifying epithelium, consisting of successive layers (strata) of keratin producing cells (keratinocytes), the epidermis is a dynamic, continually renewing structure that functions as an essential barrier to the environment. The keratinocytes gradually migrate through the different strata up to the surface (keratinocyte maturation) and are sloughed off in a process known as desquama- tion.1-3 Keratinocyte maturation can be divided into five sequences: 1. The bottom layer of the epidermis, the stratum basale, consists of undifferentiated keratinocytes shaped like columns. These cells are attached by hemi-desmosomes to a non-cellular basement membrane that separates the epidermis from the under- lying dermis. In the basal layer, the keratinocytes divide continuously and push al- ready formed cells into higher layers. Half of these cells progress upwards and dif- ferentiate, while the other half remain behind to divide again. In addition to the dif- ferentiating keratinocytes, the stratum basale also houses other cells with stem cell- like properties, Merkel cells (with apparent sensory functions) and melanocytes (pigment producing cells that protect us against ultraviolet radiation damage). 2. In the middle inner layers, the stratum spinosum (8-10 sheets of keratinocytes with limited dividing capacity), the shape of the keratinocytes changes from columnar to polygonal. Differentiating keratinocytes synthesize keratins which aggregate to form the tonofilaments that make up the cell skeleton. Condensations of these tono- filaments insert into desmosomes which connect keratinocytes and serve to disperse structural stresses through the epidermis.
