A conserved morphogenetic mechanism for epidermal ensheathment of nociceptive sensory neurites [PDF]
eLife, 2019 Interactions between epithelial cells and neurons influence a range of sensory modalities including taste, touch, and smell. Vertebrate and invertebrate epidermal cells ensheath peripheral arbors of somatosensory neurons, including nociceptors, yet the ...

The Epidermis as an Adjuvant [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2012 It is now clear that the epidermis has an active role in local immune responses in the skin. Keratinocytes are involved early in inflammation by providing first-line innate mechanisms and, in addition, can contribute to adaptive immune responses that may be associated with clinical disease.

Proceedings of the Nutrition Society, 1995 1993). Since undifferentiated keratinocytes (i.e. basal cells) provide the major supply of catecholamines to the total epidermis, it seems feasible that those basal cells in contact with melanocytes are of major importance in signal transduction, metabolism, growth and differentiation.

Defects in leaf epidermis of Arabidopsis thaliana plants with CDKA;1 activity reduced in the shoot apical meristem [PDF]
, 2012 In Arabidopsis thaliana, like in other dicots, the shoot epidermis originates from protodermis, the outermost cell layer of shoot apical meristem. We examined leaf epidermis in transgenic A.

The Phospholipases A of Epidermis
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1980 Phospholipases A have been characterized in fetal rat epidermis. Both a calcium dependent phospholipase A with pH optimum of 8.5 and a calcium independent enzyme with a pH optimum of 4.5 were found. Activity against both acyl groups of phosphatidyl choline were found for both enzymes and the findings suggested that the acid enzyme (pH 4.5) is primarily

Proderm technology: a water- based lipid delivery system for dermatitis that penetrates viable epidermis and has antibacterial effects. [PDF]
, 2019 BackgroundA defective skin barrier and bacterial colonization are two important factors in maintenance and progression of atopic dermatitis and chronic allergic/irritant hand dermatitis.

Regulated spindle orientation buffers tissue growth in the epidermis
eLife, 2019 Tissue homeostasis requires a balance between progenitor cell proliferation and loss. Mechanisms that maintain this robust balance are needed to avoid tissue loss or overgrowth.

Muc5ac mucin expression during rat skin development [PDF]
, 2015 Some mucin genes have been detected during human embryonic and fetal organ development; however, little is known about mucin expression in epidermal development, neither in humans nor in other species. The present research was developed to explore Muc5ac

Chronic Inflammation in the Epidermis: A Mathematical Model
Applied Sciences, 2016 The epidermal tissue is the outmost component of the skin that plays an important role as a first barrier system in preventing the invasion of various environmental agents, such as bacteria.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2009 The skin functions as a barrier protecting the body from dehydration and environmental insults. This barrier function is mainly provided by the outermost layer of the skin, the epidermis. The epidermis is maintained by epidermal stem cells which reside in the basal layer and which generate daughter cells that move upward toward the surface of the skin.
