An optimized inexpensive emollient mixture improves barrier repair in murine skin

open access: yesDermatologica Sinica, 2015
Background/Objective: Maintenance of epidermal permeability barrier homeostasis is the most crucial cutaneous function, as it allows life in a terrestrial environment. Defective epidermal permeability barrier results not only in excessive water loss, but

Investigation of water bonding status of normal and psoriatic skin in vivo using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Psoriasis affects more than 125 million people worldwide, and the diagnosis and treatment efficacy evaluation of the disease mainly rely on clinical assessments that could be subjective.

Ontogeny of the Epidermal Permeability Barrier

open access: yesJournal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings, 1998
A competent permeability barrier must be present by the end of gestation to allow for life in a terrestrial environment. Indeed, early preterm infants display serious complications of skin immaturity. Yet, regardless of their degree of prematurity, all infants quickly develop a competent barrier.

Morphoneuroimmunoendocrine relationships in local (tissue) homeostasis of the skin epidermis and its barrier-protective functions. Part 2

open access: yesВестник Витебского государственного медицинского университета, 2022
The review continues the series of planned articles on the morphoneuroimmunoendocrine system of the skin (MNIESS). In this review the origin, structure and functions of epidermal cells: keratinocytes, dendritic Langerhans cells, dendritic gamma/delta T ...

3D In Vitro Model of a Functional Epidermal Permeability Barrier from Human Embryonic Stem Cells and Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

open access: yesStem Cell Reports, 2014
Cornification and epidermal barrier defects are associated with a number of clinically diverse skin disorders. However, a suitable in vitro model for studying normal barrier function and barrier defects is still lacking.

Selective ablation of Ctip2/Bcl11b in epidermal keratinocytes triggers atopic dermatitis-like skin inflammatory responses in adult mice. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Ctip2 is crucial for epidermal homeostasis and protective barrier formation in developing mouse embryos. Selective ablation of Ctip2 in epidermis leads to increased transepidermal water loss (TEWL), impaired epidermal proliferation, terminal ...

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Epidermal Acyl-CoA-binding protein is indispensable for systemic energy homeostasis

open access: yesMolecular Metabolism, 2021
Objectives: The skin is the largest sensory organ of the human body and plays a fundamental role in regulating body temperature. However, adaptive alterations in skin functions and morphology have only vaguely been associated with physiological responses

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Dihydroavenanthramide D Enhances Skin Barrier Function through Upregulation of Epidermal Tight Junction Expression

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Molecular Biology
Skin barrier dysfunction and thin epidermis are hallmarks of sensitive skin and contribute to premature aging. Avenanthramides are the primary bioactive components of colloidal oatmeal, a commonly used treatment to enhance skin barrier function.
