Abstract
Palmoplantar skin has several unique characteristics such as increased thickness, high resilience, hypopigmentation, and lack of hair follicles. The establishment of palmoplantar identity occurs through keratinocyte‒fibroblast interactions, with keratin 9 expression and Wnt signaling playing key roles. Understanding how palmoplantar features develop may help efforts to reproduce them at both palmoplantar and nonpalmoplantar body sites.
