    regulate skin cell maturation and barrier formation

    Epidermal Differentiation Genes are a group of genes that play a crucial role in the development and maturation of the outermost layer of the skin, known as the epidermis. These genes regulate the process by which skin cells (keratinocytes) mature, form protective barriers, and eventually shed, ensuring the skin remains healthy and functional.
