Corneocyte
Corneocyte: the dead, flattened, keratin-filled end product of epidermal differentiation; the 'brick' of the stratum corneum, with cornified and lipid envelopes, filaggrin-derived NMF, and disease-diagnostic morphology.
Corneodesmosin
Corneodesmosin (CDSN, S gene) is a glycoprotein of corneodesmosomes in the epidermis; its proteolysis drives desquamation, and its variants link to psoriasis, hypotrichosis simplex, and peeling skin disease.
Corneometry
Corneometry is a dermatological technique that measures hydration of the stratum corneum, the skin's outermost layer, using a capacitive sensor pressed against the skin surface.
Cornichon
Cornichon (CNIH/Erv14) proteins are conserved eukaryotic COPII cargo receptors shuttling membrane proteins from ER to Golgi; mammalian CNIH2/CNIH3 also act as AMPA receptor auxiliary subunits, unlike TARPs.
Cornification
Cornification (keratinization, GO:0070268) is the programmed cell death of epidermal keratinocytes that produces corneocytes of the stratum corneum via transglutaminase-crosslinked cornified envelopes, distinct from apoptosis.
Cornish Rex
Cornish Rex: cat breed from Cornwall, England, founded by Kallibunker (1950). Wavy coat lacking guard hairs from an LPAR6 deletion; incompatible with the Devon Rex's KRT71 curl; CFA championship 1964.
Cornmeal
Cornmeal is dried field corn ground into meal, used for cornbread, mush, coatings, and porridges. Types include whole grain, stone-ground, bolted, and degerminated; related products are grits, polenta, corn flour, and masa harina.
Corns or callosities
Corns or callosities (calluses, clavi, helomas) are focal thickenings of the skin's horny layer caused by repeated friction or pressure, usually over bony prominences; corns are painful, sharply demarcated, and treated by removing the causative force.

Cornus amomum, commonly called silky dogwood, is a deciduous dogwood shrub native to eastern North America, recognized by purple young stems, silky leaves, and clusters of blue fruits.
Cornus florida
Cornus florida, flowering dogwood, is a small eastern North American understory tree with white or pink bracts, scarlet fruit, and hard shock-resistant wood, now threatened by dogwood anthracnose and bred for resistant cultivars.
