Articoli correlati a Skin, Hair, and Nails: Structure and Function
Sinossi
Stressing a structure-function approach, this multidisciplinary reference presents a detailed overview of the biological, chemical, physical, molecular and genetic tools and techniques utilized in the study of the skin barrier. It illustrates the impact of irritative skin reactions, as well as genetic and immune-mediated disease on hair and nail composition and formation.
