GlossarySkin Biology

study of skin's structure, function, and cellular processes

Skin biology is the study of the structure, function, and processes of the skin, the body's largest organ. It encompasses understanding how skin cells grow, differentiate, and interact, as well as how the skin acts as a barrier, regulates temperature, and participates in immune responses. This field is crucial for developing treatments for skin conditions, understanding aging, and improving cosmetic products.
