The changes produced in the histologic appearance of mouse epidermis as the result of daily application of a controlled frictional stimulus for periods of up to 35 days were studied. Friction resulted in thickening of the stratum corneum and an increase in the size and number of cells in the stratum granulosum and stratum spinosum. The degree of epidermal thickening was increased by increasing the frictional stimulus, and, after thickening, the epidermis appeared to be resistant to mechanical damage.An approximate steady state in the rate of epidermal cell formation and cell loss was reestablished during the period of daily stimulation and a 2- or 3-fold increase in the rate of passage of cells from the stratum basale to the stratum corneum was estimated. It was concluded that increased rates of cell formation and maturation play an important role in the adaptive response of the epidermis to mechanical stimulation.
