[QUOTE]Originally posted by xyyman: [QB] Histologic findings in mummified skin - Thomas A This report describes the histologic findings of skin fragments from five Egyptian mummies and one from the Royal Ontario Museum ," Toronto, Ontario, were examined. The specimens ranged in age from 2 ,000 to 3,200 years . The first four specimens were random skin sections histology of the three remaining skin fragments retained surprising histologic architectural detail. Tissue from the nape of the neck of a particularly well-preserved mummy from the Detroit Institute of Arts showed deep pigmentation of the basal layer (Fig. 1). The horny layer was thick and orthokeratotic. A number of melanocytes (clear cells) were recognized at the dermoepidermal junction, and cell nuclei were No sebaceous glands were demonstrated, but there were several hair follicles. One follicle contained a deeply pigmented, medullated hair shaft with a curved hair matrix (Fig. 2). A specimen from the leg of another mummy wall of keratinocytes was well preserved, and a number of longitudinally sectioned sweat ducts were present. There were also cross sections of eccrine sweat ducts with deeply stained membranes (Fig. 4) . [/QB][/QUOTE]
