September 2016 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” In this study using tamoxifen-inducible claudin-1 knockout mice, researchers observed that tight junction barrier leakage induced stratum corneum barrier defects and skin inflammation, suggesting a possible cycle of barrier damage and inflammation in atopic dermatitis.
August 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that tight junctions extend to the most superficial layer of the stratum granulosum in human skin, challenging previous claims of their limited presence in the epidermis.
