Modulation of Stratum Corneum Lipid Composition and Organization of Human Skin Equivalents by Specific Medium Supplements
Our in-house human skin equivalents contain all stratum corneum (SC) barrier lipid classes, but have a reduced level of free fatty acids (FAs), of which a part is mono-unsaturated. These differences lead to an altered SC lipid organization and thereby a reduced barrier function compared to human skin.…
