Epidermal transit times

C S Potten. Br J Dermatol. 1975 Dec.

Abstract

Radio-isotope disappearance curves and autoradiography (labelled DNA precursors and labelled amino acids) have been used to estimate the minimum transit times for four regions of epidermis in mice. The post-mitotic maturation time in the basal layer has been estimated and the results interpreted in relation to proliferation rates and epidermal organisation.
