    process where skin cells mature to form protective barrier

    Epidermal differentiation is the process by which cells in the outermost layer of the skin, called the epidermis, mature and change to form a protective barrier. This involves the transformation of basal cells into specialized cells like keratinocytes, which produce keratin, a protein that helps protect the skin from environmental damage. This process is crucial for maintaining skin integrity and function.
