Epidermal microstructure and tactile sensitivity in the glabrous skin of hands and feet

2026-05-30

Abstract excerpt

Glabrous skin on the human palms and soles is specialised for mechanical interaction and is characterised by papillary ridges, an absence of hair follicles, and a thick stratum corneum. While gross morphological differences, such as the increased thickness of the plantar stratum corneum, are well-documented, the fine-scale structural features associated with individual ridges and whether they help explain differen...
