Correlation between the properties of the lipid matrix and the degrees of integrity and cohesion in healthy human Stratum corneum
5 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
The correlation between the degrees of integrity and cohesion in healthy human Stratum corneum (SC) and the properties of the SC lipid matrix could be examined non-invasively in vivo using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and measurements of pH, conductance, and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) taken in the course of tape-stripping. The change of TEWL following the removal of a SC layer with a predefined thickness served as...
