Wikipedia

  1. Malpighian layer

    The Malpighian layer (stratum mucosum or stratum malpighii) of the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin, is generally defined as both the stratum basale (basal layer) and the thicker stratum spinosum (spinous layer/prickle cell layer) immediately above it as a single unit, although it is occasionally defined as the stratum basale specifically, or the stratum spinosum specifically.It is named after the Italian biologist and physician Marcello Malpighi. Basal cell carcinoma originates from the basal layer of the stratum malpighii. This layer is where almost all of the mitotic activity in the epidermis occurs. The activity of these cells is increased by IL-1 (interleukin-1) and epidermal growth factor. The activity is decreased by transforming growth factor beta.

  1. malpighian layer

    The Malpighian layer, also known as the stratum germinativum or basal layer, is the innermost layer of the epidermis found in the skin. It consists of a single layer of columnar or cuboidal epithelial cells, which continually divide and produce new cells, driving cell turnover in the epidermis. Named after Marcello Malpighi, an Italian physician and biologist, the Malpighian layer is where most melanocytes, cells that produce melanin, are found. Melanin is responsible for the color of our skin, hair, and eyes.
