We skin cells are made, they are made in the deep layers of the skin, the dermal layer. This layer of the skin has blood supply, and cells that are in the dermal layer stay alive just fine. However, as cells in the upper layer, the epidermis, die; the skin cells in the dermal layer gets, pushed up into the epidermal layer. In this layer of the skin, there is no blood supply. However, nutrients are still passed from the blood rich dermal cells to the epidermal cells. The problem occurs when the epidermal cell is pushed right to the top of the epidermal layer, where there is no blood supply and it is too far away from the dermal layer to get nutrients vie osmosis. The cells in the upper epidermis get no nutrients and therefore die. Epidermal cells also die, ironically, because of the substances that they produce, keratin. Keratin is secreted by all skin cells to make the skin tough, durable and waterproof. However the build up of this keratin in the cell, leaks out in the extracellular space (the area outside the cell) and starts to breakdown the membranes of the cells around them and the cells essentially end up killing each other.
Epidermal cells die because of the loss of nutrient supply as they get closer and closer to the surface of the skin, and the buildup of keratin inside them that leaks out into the area outside the cells.
Merkel cells compose about 8% of the epidermal cells. These specialized cells are found in the deepest part of the epidermis and are involved in the sensation of touch.
The epidermal cells of an onion are located on the outermost layer of the onion bulb, forming a protective barrier.
Epidermal cells receive nutrients primarily through diffusion from the underlying dermis layer, where blood vessels supply nutrients. Additionally, some epidermal cells can also absorb nutrients from sweat and sebum produced by skin glands.
To examine leaf epidermal cells, a leaf sample is typically cleared with a clearing solution to make the cells transparent. The cleared leaf sample is then mounted on a slide with a drop of water and covered with a coverslip. Finally, the sample is observed under a microscope to study the size, shape, and structure of the leaf epidermal cells.
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is the substance that helps promote mitosis in epidermal skin cells. EGF stimulates cell growth and division in the epidermis, aiding in the regeneration and repair of skin tissue.
Low blood supply and low keratin cause epidermal cells to die. Epidermal cells make up the epidermis, the outer layer of the skin covering the exterior body surface of vertebrates.
Melanocytes, which produce melanin for skin pigmentation, are found in human epidermal cells but not in leaf epidermal cells. Additionally, human epidermal cells contain structures like Langerhans cells for immune response, which are not present in leaf epidermal cells.
No, epidermal cells from petunia do not stain with phloroglucinol. Phloroglucinol is typically used to stain lignin in plant tissues, not epidermal cells. The stain mainly reacts with lignin, which is absent in the epidermal cells.

HIV mainly attacks cells in the immune system. I'm not aware of a major impact on skin (epidermal) cells.

Epidermal cells.
The Stratum Spinosum are the cells that are also called the prickle cells. Stratum spinosum are not the cells: it's one of the epidermal layers. Keratinocytes are the cells which also called prickled cells.
Epidermal cells receive nutrients primarily through diffusion from the underlying dermis layer, where blood vessels supply nutrients. Additionally, some epidermal cells can also absorb nutrients from sweat and sebum produced by skin glands.
