Epidermal Maturation and Wound Healing. All three PPAR isotypes are expressed during epidermal maturation each isotype has a specific pattern of expression in regard to development and the various layers of the epidermis. An important role for PPARS in the development and/or maintenance of normal skin health is indicated by the presence of defective wound healing in the PPARS-null mouse.
