Thymic Hormones in Human Fetal Skin Epidermis

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

Thymic hormone thymalin is detected in young epidermal cells of human fetuses. Its content varies with gestation age. Maturation of keratinocytes in the epidermis is paralleled by a decrease in the population of young thymalin-positive cells. By birth they are located on the basal membrane and in some adjacent layers. This regularity was seen in different parts of the body.
