By Howard I. Maibach

Skin bioengineering is an expanding field of investigative and clinical dermatology. This second edition of the popular Bioengineering of the Skin: Water and Stratum Corneum focuses on a dramatically improved understanding of skin physiology based on a large number of recent publications. It explains the mechanisms involved in stratum Corneum barrier function and stratum Corneum hydration and brings readers up-to-date all research on epidermal water and transepidermal water loss in health and disease. All chapters have been thoroughly revised and new chapters have been added on hydration and itching. This volume includes new guidelines on the standardization of measurements.
