Skin Bioscience: A Molecular Approach

Skin bioscience forms a fundamental pillar of dermatology, providing the scientific basis for understanding skin function, pathology, therapy, and cosmetic science. Despite the inherent challenges of studying native human skin, decades of innovative research by academic scientists and industrial researchers have yielded major advances in molecular and cellular skin biology. Skin Bioscience: A Molecular Approach presents a comprehensive and modern overview of skin biology through the lens of molecular science. Beginning with the fundamental structure and unique physiological functions of the skin, the book explores molecular responses to external stimuli and extends to contemporary topics such as skin regeneration and beautification. By integrating foundational biology with cutting-edge molecular insights, this volume equips readers with a deeper understanding of skin mechanisms and inspires further research and innovation in dermatology and skin science.
