Abstract

Background: Our clinical studies on pregnant woman skin characterization suggested that the stretched skin during pregnancy may share some inflammatory characteristics with psoriatic lesions. Indeed, there may be a direct relationship between stretch and inflammation and we hypothesize that this could contribute to the development of striae gravidarum (SG). Here, we developed in vitro models of stretched skin in order to better understand the influence of mechanical stress in stretch marks formation.
