The stratum corneum is a magnificent example of the successful
adaptation of a tissue. Its efficient function is a prerequisite
for life itself. We depend on its control of the movement of water
through the skin and on its protective role in the prevention of
penetration by pathogens or harmful substances. Apart from its
functional importance, there is no escaping the fact that the most
common skin disorders (psoriasis, eczema, inherited disorders of
keratinization, acne) are 'characterised by abnormal keratinization
and or scaliness. Despite all this, understanding of its chemistry,
structure, physiology and involvement in disease has been sadly
deficient; however, there are signs of enlightenment. This
symposium is evidence of changed atti. tudes. Leading researchers
from many countries have applied modem biomedical techniques and
the methods of molecular biology to the many problems and questions
posed by the stratum corneum. Although there have been several
symposia and publications on the process of keratinization, few
have been broadly based on the stratum corneum. For this reason we
believe that the proceedings of this symposium will be invaluable
for all who are profeSSionally concerned with skin biology.
