Jan 1, 2023 · Rete ridges (RRs) are distinct undulating microstructures at the junction of the dermis and epidermis in the skin of humans and certain animals. This structure is essential for enhancing the mechanical characteristics of skin and preserving homeostasis. With the development of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, artificial skin grafts ...

Rete pegs protect the tissue from shearing. [1] Rete pegs (also known as rete processes or rete ridges) are the epithelial extensions that project into the underlying connective tissue in both skin and mucous membranes . In the epithelium of the mouth, the attached gingiva exhibit rete pegs, while the sulcular [2] and junctional epithelia do ...
The epidermis forms an undulating appearance, with intermittent regular protrusions of the epidermis layer (rete ridges or pegs) into the upper layers of the underlying dermis. In some areas of the body such as the palms and soles, the rete pegs are less pronounced. The pillars of dermis next to the dermal papillae form the rete ridges. The ...
Nov 27, 2020 · The rete ridge height decreases with age [30,32] (Table 1, Figure 3), and the number of papillae per area decreases with time [238,239]. The changes observed during aging vary according to the body sites: dermal papillae are uniformly distributed in the photo-protected abdominal skin, but they appear to be severely decreased and non-uniformly ...

Nov 25, 2015 · The rete ridge pattern also increases the surface area of the capillary-epidermal interface to improve nutrient supply to the avascular epidermis. In human skin, a repeating array of capillaries emanates from the superficial vascular plexus and loop up in close proximity to the epidermal-dermal interface [ 30 ].
