This acclaimed work has been completely updated to discuss new insights and rapid advances in the molecular biology and physiology of the skin. The section on the immune system has been greatly expanded; a new section on the neurobiology of the skin describes cell-to-cell communication and the expanded role of the Merkel cell, among other topics. This richly illustrated, highly authoritative text is a superb contribution to the literature of dermatological studies.

Molecular Biology of the Skin: The Keratinocyte comprehensively reviews the major aspects of keratinocyte and epidermal differentiation, physiology, and pathology, primarily focusing on the molecular aspects. This exciting new resource discusses keratin genes, retinoic acid, and the use of transgenic animals in the study of dermatological pathology. The volume also highlights areas of genetic disease, new animal models to help in understanding dermatological disorders, and gene therapy using skin as a target. W.W. Franke, a pioneer in the study of the molecular biology of keratins, has written the foreword for the book. Molecular Biology of the Skin: The Keratinocyte is intended for use by dermatologists and basic researchers in cell and developmental biology. It will also be valuable for surgeons and other clinicians as well as researchers in gene therapy, virology, and pharmacology. * * Reviews keratinocyte (and epidermal) differentiation. physiology, and pathology, focusing on the molecular aspects * -Discusses keratin genes, retinoic acid, and the use of transgenic animals in the study of dermatalogical pathology * -Highlights genetic disease, new animal models, and gene therapy

An authoritative, extensively illustrated clinician's textbook, The Biology of the Skin is written expressly for practitioners and residents in dermatology, plastic surgery, and otolaryngology. Essentially an expansion of the editors' and contributing authors' popular "Structure and Function" course given annually at the meetings of the American Academy of Dermatology, the book teaches skin biology in the context of practical clinical settings. This book covers the basic biology of the skin, how the skin functions, effects of the environment, the molecules that direct cutaneous function, genetic influences, and methods in cutaneous research. The Biology of the Skin provides a selective review of all biologic processes involving the skin and will foster an appreciation of how the skin works based on our knowledge of the basic science of skin structure and function in the 21st century.

The Structure and Function of Skin, Third Edition is devoted to all matters pertaining to the structure and function of the skin. Drawing upon the accumulated data derived from embryology, histology, anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and pharmacology, this book presents an overview of skin, with emphasis on human skin. Topics range from the biological functions of the dermis to the histochemical and microchemical properties of the epidermis; the effects of protein deficiency on hair growth; cutaneous innervation; nail regeneration and growth; sebaceous glands; and eccrine sweat glands. This book is organized into 12 chapters and begins with an overview of the structure and function of skin, and then discusses the epidermis and its structural features. Special consideration is given to the life cycle of epidermal cells; the properties and function of stratum corneum; and other cells in the epidermis including melanocytes, the cells of Langerhans, and Merkel cells. The chapters that follow focus on age-related changes in the dermis, cutaneous blood flow, changes in skin circulation, and the dermal nerve network. The book also considers hair growth and differentiation; the effects of malnutrition on the morphology of hair roots; and the structure and development of the nails. A chapter describing the cytochemistry and pharmacology of eccrine sweat glands concludes the book. This book is written primarily for dermatologists, whether seasoned veterans or neophytes, and will also be useful to all biologists who are interested in biomedical disciplines.

"This is the story of skin. No research has explained fully why one person's skin behaves differently from another person's. That is the challenge and the opportunity for estheticians and all skin care specialists: to know and use both the science and the art of skin care." So says Peter T. Pugliese, MD, perhaps the leading authority on the science and art of skin care. Physiology of the Skin II is one of the industry's premier textbooks, used by many esthetic schools to present the facets of skin physiology and the role of the esthetician in identifying and treating skin problems. Organized in two sections - Science and Application - Dr. Pugliese provides illustrations and well-organized, detailed charts to help readers understand the material. The Science section includes: -The Behavior of normal skin -Free radicals and the skin -Elastin: the youth protein The Application section of the book begins with Immunology of the Skin Care Specialist and continues with: -How wrinkles develop -Biology of acnetic skin -The power of chemical peels As a textbook, Physiology of the Skin II is unsurpassed in providing a basic understanding of science that facilitates the comprehension of the critical application chapters.
