Epidermal ADAM17 maintains the skin barrier by regulating EGFR ligand-dependent terminal keratinocyte differentiation [PDF]
ADAM17 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17) is ubiquitously expressed and cleaves membrane proteins, such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ligands, l-selectin, and TNF, from the cell surface, thus regulating responses to tissue injury and ...

Beneficial autoimmunity at body surfaces – immune surveillance and rapid type 2 immunity regulate tissue homeostasis and cancer [PDF]
Epithelial cells line body surface tissues and provide a physicochemical barrier to the external environment. Frequent microbial and non-microbial challenges such as those imposed by mechanical disruption, injury or exposure to noxious environmental ...

Impact of Age and Body Site on Adult Female Skin Surface pH [PDF]
Background: pH is known as an important parameter in epidermal barrier function and homeostasis. Aim: The impact of age and body site on skin surface pH (pH(SS)) of women was evaluated in vivo.

Bricks and mortar of the epidermal barrier [PDF]
A specialized tissue type, the keratinizing epithelium, protects terrestrial mammals from water loss and noxious physical, chemical and mechanical insults. This barrier between the body and the environment is constantly maintained by reproduction of inner living epidermal keratinocytes which undergo a process of terminal differentiation and then ...

Epidermal Barrier Dysfunction in Atopic Dermatitis
Impaired skin barrier is one of the hallmarks of atopic dermatitis (AD), with abnormalities in the cornified envelope, lipid lamellae, tight junctions and cutaneous microbiome.

Evolutionary origin and diversification of epidermal barrier proteins in amniotes. [PDF]
The evolution of amniotes has involved major molecular innovations in the epidermis. In particular, distinct structural proteins that undergo covalent cross-linking during cornification of keratinocytes facilitate the formation of mechanically resilient ...

Claudin-1 decrease impacts epidermal barrier function in atopic dermatitis lesions dose-dependently
The transmembrane protein claudin-1 is a major component of epidermal tight junctions (TJs), which create a dynamic paracellular barrier in the epidermis. Claudin-1 downregulation has been linked to atopic dermatitis (AD) pathogenesis but variable levels

The barrier to epidermal absorption and to water loss has been given much attention in recent years (1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10). The purpose of this paper is not to consider the location of the barrier or the mechanism of penetration but rather to report the differences between the functional barrier of scrotal skin and that of abdominal skin and mucous ...

Permeability barrier requirements regulate epidermal beta-glucocerebrosidase.
The intercellular spaces of the outermost layers of the epidermis (stratum corneum, SC) of terrestrial mammals contain a mixture of lipids, enriched in ceramides that are critical for the epidermal permeability barrier. Whereas glucosylceramides (GlcCer)
