Rete ridges surround the dermal papillae, which can be seen as small extensions protruding from the papillary dermis within the epidermis. These two structures are perfectly embedded; the alternation of a rete ridge with a dermal papilla creates a characteristic repetitive and wave-shaped pattern.
1 lut 2024 · Rete ridges occur in epithelial tissues such as oral mucosa [13] and skin and can be described as undulating “pegs” that are interdigitated with dermal papillary ridges (DPRs) (Fig. 1). Rete ridges enhance adhesion of the epidermis to the dermis. They also are niches for epidermal stem cells [14].
25 lis 2015 · Focusing on the rete ridges and complementary dermal papillae in human skin, we review the identity and organisation of abundant dermal cells types and present evidence for interactions between the dermal microenvironment and the interfollicular keratinocytes.
During human skin development, specific interactions between epidermal and dermal cell lineages give rise to fully functional skin that contains specialized appendages, including hair follicles, sweat glands, and rete ridges.
1 lis 2022 · Rete ridges are interdigitations of the epidermis and dermis of the skin that play multiple roles in homeostasis, including enhancing adhesion via increased contact area and acting as niches...
