This research project delves into the intricate biological process of epidermal renewal, focusing on the physiological mechanisms of keratinocyte differentiation and terminal differentiation. A key aspect of the study is the comprehensive investigation of factors that modulate the rate and efficiency of desquamation, the natural shedding of dead skin cells from the stratum corneum. We aim to elucidate the biochemical pathways and cellular signaling cascades involved, exploring the impact of endogenous and exogenous variables, such as hydration levels, pH, enzymatic activity, and the presence of specific biomolecules. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for advancing dermatological treatments and developing innovative skincare technologies aimed at promoting healthy skin barrier function and addressing various skin conditions characterized by compromised desquamation.
