    process of forming and maturing the skin's outer layer

    Epidermal development refers to the process by which the outermost layer of the skin, known as the epidermis, forms and matures. This involves the differentiation and proliferation of keratinocytes, the primary cell type in the epidermis, as well as the formation of specialized structures like hair follicles and sweat glands. This process is crucial for creating a protective barrier against environmental damage and pathogens.
