The Structure of the Human Vaginal Stratum Corneum and its Role in Immune Defense

24 Mar 2014

Abstract excerpt

The superficial layers of the human vaginal epithelium, which form an interface between host and environment, are comprised of dead flattened cells that have undergone a terminal cell differentiation program called cornification. This entails extrusion of nuclei and intercellular organelles, and the depletion of functional DNA and RNA precluding the synthesis of new proteins. As a consequence, the terminally...
