How Does the Stratum Granulosum Interact with Other Epidermal Layers?
The stratum granulosum works in conjunction with other layers of the epidermis to maintain skin integrity. The cells in this layer receive signals from the stratum spinosum below and contribute to the formation of the stratum corneum above. The keratohyalin granules produced in the stratum granulosum are crucial for the final stages of keratinocyte differentiation and the formation of the protective outer layer.
