What is the difference between basal lamina and basal cell layer?

The basal lamina is a thin layer of extracellular matrix that underlies epithelial cells, providing structural support and regulating cell behavior. It is primarily composed of proteins like collagen and laminin. In contrast, the basal cell layer, also known as the stratum basale, refers to the innermost layer of the epidermis where basal cells (keratinocytes) are located, responsible for producing new skin cells.
