Hargraves Cells

Hargraves cells are a type of cell that was discovered and studied by American dermatologist Hargrave in 1927. These cells are oval in shape and located in the top layer of skin called the epidermis.

Hargraves cells are living cells that perform the function of protecting the skin from external influences. They have many functions, including protecting the skin from UV rays, maintaining skin moisture, and producing sebum.

However, in recent years it has been discovered that Hargraves cells may be associated with the development of certain skin diseases such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. This discovery aroused the interest of scientists and researchers in the field of dermatology.

Currently, Hargraves cells continue to be studied as part of research to develop new methods for the treatment and prevention of skin diseases. In addition, studying Hargraves cells can help in understanding skin aging and developing new skin care methods.

Hargraves, also known as James Hargraves (Harrington), is an American dermatologist and skin graft specialist. He was involved in the development of effective methods of skin grafting and successful treatment of various forms of cancer.
