The epidermis, consisting of the outer horny layer (stratum corneum), the prickle cell layer (stratum spinosum), and basal cell layer (stratum basale), forms a very tight protective layer for the underlying dermis (Figure 14). This assumption is based on findings in the rabbit primary culture system which showed that for the urothelium to achieve maximal differentiation (from an undifferentiated basal cell layer to a high resistance apical umbrella cell layer) required growth of the cells on a permeable support, careful attention to seeding densities, and manipulation of the calcium concentration of the growth medium (29). |
