Layer of cells in the epidermis.
1These defects were correlated with stratum granulosum attenuation and reduced filaggrin expression.
2This change, as we have already indicated, takes place above the stratum granulosum.
3Results: Matriptase-1 expression was detected in the stratum granulosum of healthy human skin and in skin equivalent cultures.
4In contrast, we found an enhanced expression of hurpin in the stratum spinosum and stratum granulosum in the majority of diseased skin samples.
