Alterations of Ultra Long-Chain Fatty Acids in Hereditary Skin Diseases—Review Article
Frontiers in Medicine, 2021 The skin is a flexible organ that forms a barrier between the environment and the body's interior; it is involved in the immune response, in protection and regulation, and is a dynamic environment in which skin lipids play an important role in ...

FEBS 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 ...

Epidermis as the “Third Brain”?
Dermatologica Sinica, 2015 The role of the brain includes reception, processing, and transmission of environmental information from sensory organs to the systems of the whole body.

A single type of progenitor cell maintains normal epidermis
Nature, 2007 According to the current model of adult epidermal homeostasis, skin tissue is maintained by two discrete populations of progenitor cells: self-renewing stem cells; and their progeny, known as transit amplifying cells, which differentiate after several ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Chemical & Engineering News Archive, 2007 AbstractThe epidermis is the external surface of an animal and performs several functions. It is usually a monolayer of cells, but can also be composed of several layers of cells. Epidermal cells are connected by cellular junctions (anchoring, occluding, and gap junctions), which are of particular phylogenetic importance.

Transdermal Delivery of Botulinum Neurotoxin A: A Novel Formulation with Therapeutic Potential
PharmaceuticsBackground: Botulinum neurotoxin is widely regarded as a “wonder medicine” due to its therapeutic efficacy in treating a variety of conditions. While it is traditionally classified as a neurotoxin, it is arguably more appropriate to refer to it as a ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

BiologyRecent studies emphasize the significance of skin microclimate in the prevention of pressure injuries (PI). The objective was to evaluate the effect of pressure loading on skin temperature and moisture in the heels of healthy adults. This is a before-and-

The Expression and Regulation of Chemerin in the Epidermis
PLoS ONE, 2015 Chemerin is a protein ligand for the G protein-coupled receptor CMKLR1 and also binds to two atypical heptahelical receptors, CCRL2 and GPR1. Chemerin is a leukocyte attractant, adipokine, and antimicrobial protein.
