Exploring the structure of the stratum corneum lipid matrix via molecular dynamics simulations

Skin plays the vital role in human physiology of providing a barrier from the external environment. This barrier function is localized to the lipid matrix of the outermost layer, the stratum corneum. While much has been learned about the molecular origins of the skin barrier, experimental difficulti...
