abstract：:The skin's epidermis is a multilayered epithelial tissue and the first line of defense against mechanical stress. Its barrier function depends on an integrated assembly and reorganization of cell-matrix and cell-cell junctions in the basal layer and on different intercellular junctions in suprabasal layers. However, h...
