Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on the “Physiology and Pathophysiology of Skin” is a comprehensive exploration of the intricate workings and disorders of the body’s largest organ, the skin. This collection of articles brings together cutting-edge research in the fields of dermatology, biology, and physiology, providing invaluable insights into the mechanisms governing skin health and the pathological conditions that disrupt its equilibrium.
This Special Issue delves into the multifaceted aspects of skin physiology, encompassing topics such as epidermal barrier function, wound healing, melanogenesis, immune responses, and sensory perception. Moreover, it illuminates the underlying molecular and cellular processes maintaining skin homeostasis. In parallel, this Special Issue meticulously examines various skin disorders, including dermatitis, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and autoimmune diseases, shedding light on the underlying mechanisms, diagnostic tools, and therapeutic approaches.
With contributions from leading experts in the field, this Special Issue is a critical resource for researchers, doctors, and students aiming to deepen their understanding of skin health, from the molecular level to applications. It serves as a foundation for advancing the fields of dermatology and skin biology.
This Special Issue promises to enrich our skin biology and pathology knowledge, ultimately leading to improved diagnostics and therapies for various skin-related conditions.
