GlossaryDermal-Epidermal Junction

interface where the epidermis connects to the dermis

The Dermal-Epidermal Junction (DEJ) is a critical area of skin where the outer layer (epidermis) connects to the underlying layer (dermis). This junction plays a vital role in maintaining skin integrity, facilitating nutrient exchange, and supporting cellular communication. It is essential for wound healing and overall skin health, and its degradation can lead to various skin disorders.
