Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue “Skin Biology and Pathology” explores the latest advances in understanding skin structure, function, and disease mechanisms. It covers topics such as epidermal barrier formation, immune responses in dermatological disorders, molecular pathways in wound healing, and the role of stem cells in skin regeneration. For this Special Issue, we invite original research and review articles addressing various aspects of skin biology.
