[Keratinization of the senile epidermis (author's transl)]. 1980

L Olmos, and P Laugier, and J Cabré

The ultrastructural study of the senile epidermis without an apparent lesion, in the phase of cicatrization of a traumatic lesion and in a state of hyperkeratosic transformation in comparison with those performed in the normal epidermis, reveals decrease in the number of clear keratinocytes (only compensated in the process of cicatrization) it is in concord with the most recent theory of the aging of cells of Gelfant and Smith. The increase of clear suprabasal cells in the epidermis degenerative process with a constant of the percentage of clear and dark basal cells suggest a liberation of bloqued cells, which constituted probably the direct source of neoplasic differentiation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007633 Keratins A class of fibrous proteins or scleroproteins that represents the principal constituent of EPIDERMIS; HAIR; NAILS; horny tissues, and the organic matrix of tooth ENAMEL. Two major conformational groups have been characterized, alpha-keratin, whose peptide backbone forms a coiled-coil alpha helical structure consisting of TYPE I KERATIN and a TYPE II KERATIN, and beta-keratin, whose backbone forms a zigzag or pleated sheet structure. alpha-Keratins have been classified into at least 20 subtypes. In addition multiple isoforms of subtypes have been found which may be due to GENE DUPLICATION.

D004817 Epidermis The external, nonvascular layer of the skin. It is made up, from within outward, of five layers of EPITHELIUM: (1) basal layer (stratum basale epidermidis); (2) spinous layer (stratum spinosum epidermidis); (3) granular layer (stratum granulosum epidermidis); (4) clear layer (stratum lucidum epidermidis); and (5) horny layer (stratum corneum epidermidis).
