| 21. | This series of steps is repeated numerous times to traverse the full thickness of the stratum corneum.
|
| 22. | Pregnant female mites tunnel into the stratum corneum of a host's skin and deposit eggs in the burrows.
|
| 23. | Sebum may act as a delivery system for antioxidants, antimicrobial lipids, pheromones, and hydration of the stratum corneum.
|
| 24. | Corneocytes in the lower part of the stratum corneum are bridged together through specialized junctions ( corneodesmosomes ).
|
| 25. | Corneocytes are embedded in a matrix of specialized lipids that constitute approximately 20 % of the stratum corneum volume.
|
| 26. | Filaggrin undergoes further processing in the upper stratum corneum to release free amino acids that assist in water retention.
|
| 27. | Stratum corneum lipids are elaborately organized into lamellar structure, which plays the most important role for skin's barrier functions.
|
| 28. | Concomitantly, cells lose their nuclei and organelles causing the granular cells to become non-viable corneocytes in the stratum corneum.
|
| 29. | Patients with rosacea have elevated levels of cathelicidin and elevated levels of stratum corneum tryptic enzymes ( SCTEs ).
|
| 30. | The permeability properties of the stratum corneum are, for the most part, unchanged after its removal from the body.
