How Does the Stratum Granulosum Contribute to Skin Disorders?
Dysfunction in the stratum granulosum can lead to various skin disorders. For example, abnormalities in filaggrin production can result in conditions like ichthyosis vulgaris and atopic dermatitis. These disorders are characterized by dry, flaky skin and a compromised skin barrier. Understanding the histology of the stratum granulosum can help in diagnosing and developing treatments for these conditions.
