    GlossaryAnchoring Fibrils

    specialized collagen structures connecting epidermis to dermis

    Anchoring fibrils are specialized structures in the skin that help attach the outer layer (epidermis) to the underlying layer (dermis). They are primarily composed of a protein called type VII collagen, which provides strength and stability to the skin, preventing it from easily tearing or blistering.
