Glucosylceramide synthase activity in murine epidermis: quantitation, localization, regulation, and requirement for barrier homeostasis

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
Ceramides, which derive from the hydrolysis of glucosylceramide (GlcCer), are the predominant lipid species in the stratum corneum and are critical for epidermal permeability barrier homeostasis. UDP-glucose:ceramide glucosyltransferase (GlcCer synthase)

Photoablation at single cell resolution and its application in the Drosophila epidermis and peripheral nervous system

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Tissues contain diverse cell populations that, together, make up physiologically functional units. A remarkable example is the animal epidermis, where neuronal and non-neuronal cells intermingle to allow somatosensory perception.

Development of the human prepuce and its innervation. [PDF]

, 2020
Development of the human prepuce was studied over the course of 9-17 weeks of gestation in 30 specimens. Scanning electron microscopy revealed subtle surface features that were associated with preputial development, namely the appearance of epidermal ...

Transport kinetics of ectoine, an osmolyte produced by Brevibacterium epidermis [PDF]

, 2006
Brevibacterium epidermis DSM 20659 is a halotolerant Gram-positive bacterium which can synthesize the osmolyte, ectoine, but prefers to take it up from its environment. The present study revealed that B.

GJB4 variants linked to skin disease exhibit a trafficking deficiency en route to gap junction formation that can be restored by co-expression of select connexins

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Epidermal keratinocytes are enriched with at least nine connexins that are key regulators of epidermal homeostasis. The role of Cx30.3 in keratinocytes and epidermal health became evident when fourteen autosomal dominant mutations in the Cx30.3-encoding ...

Acceleration of Skin Wound-Healing Reactions by Autologous Micrograft Tissue Suspension

Medicina, 2020
Background and objectives: Skin grafting is a method usually used in reconstructive surgery to accelerate skin regeneration. This method results frequently in unexpected scar formations. We previously showed that cutaneous wound-healing in normal mice is

The Biology of Varicella-Zoster Virus Replication in the Skin

Viruses, 2022
The replication of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) in skin is critical to its pathogenesis and spread. Primary infection causes chickenpox, which is characterised by centrally distributed skin blistering lesions that are rich in infectious virus.

Real-time imaging of pulvinus bending in Mimosa pudica [PDF]

, 2019
Mimosa pudica is a plant that rapidly shrinks its body in response to external stimuli. M. pudica does not perform merely simple movements, but exhibits a variety of movements that quickly change depending on the type of stimuli.

The cannabinoid receptors system in horses: Tissue distribution and cellular identification in skin

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2022
Background The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is composed of cannabinoid receptors type 1 (CBR1) and type 2 (CBR2), cannabinoid‐based ligands (endogenous chemically synthesized phytocannabinoids), and endogenous enzymes controlling their concentrations ...
