The hidden science of haptics: A pedagogical review of tactile evaluation in cosmetics

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
This review explores the physiological basis of tactile perception and critically examines classical and emerging sensory methods used in cosmetics, advocating for broader methodological integration and recognition of sensory analysis in the field. Abstract Sensory analysis is a cornerstone of cosmetic development, yet remains underrepresented in peer ...

Preoperative Skin Conditioning: Extracellular Matrix Clearance and Skin Bed Preparation, A New Paradigm. [PDF]

, 2019
This paper introduces the concept of "skin bed preparation" prior to surgical procedures. Following the theory of chronic wound bed preparation and adapting the skin model to one of chronic wound changes related to extrinsic and intrinsic factors, a ...

Metabolic and molecular events occurring during chromoplast biogenesis [PDF]

, 2011
Chromoplasts are nonphotosynthetic plastids that accumulate carotenoids. They derive from other plastid forms, mostly chloroplasts. The biochemical events responsible for the interconversion of one plastid form into another are poorly documented. However,

Biomolecular Changes Upon Ablative Laser Therapy of the Skin: A Scoping Review

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
(Fractional) ablative laser therapy results in a wound healing response characterized by an inflammatory phase, dermal matrix degradation, and remodeling, collagenesis and elastogenesis. This is characterized by an increase in metalloproteinases, collagen type I, III, VII, and tropoelastin.

ADAMTSL6β Protein Rescues Fibrillin-1 Microfibril Disorder in a Marfan Syndrome Mouse Model through the Promotion of Fibrillin-1 Assembly [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2011
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a systemic disorder of the connective tissues caused by insufficient fibrillin-1 microfibril formation and can cause cardiac complications, emphysema, ocular lens dislocation, and severe periodontal disease. ADAMTSL6β (A disintegrin-like metalloprotease domain with thrombospondin type I motifs-like 6β) is a microfibril ...

Dual role for the latent transforming growth factor-beta binding protein in storage of latent TGF-beta in the extracellular matrix and as a structural matrix protein [PDF]

, 1995
The role of the latent TGF-beta binding protein (LTBP) is unclear. In cultures of fetal rat calvarial cells, which form mineralized bonelike nodules, both LTBP and the TGF-beta 1 precursor localized to large fibrillar structures in the extracellular ...

The tympanic covering layer contributes to basilar membrane elasticity potentially influencing human frequency resolution and speech perception

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
In this study we show for the first time that the human basilar membrane contains elastin produced by the so‐called tympanic covering layer. It is believed to play an important functional role in human cochlear tuning, particularly low frequencies linked to our remarkable speech and music perception.

Sex- and age-dependent neurovascular abnormalities linked to neuroinflammation lead to exacerbated post-ischemic brain injury in Marfan syndrome mice

Redox Biology
Fibrillin 1 gene (Fbn1) mutations cause Marfan syndrome (MFS), triggering life-threatening aortic complications and multi-organ effects. MFS is increasingly linked to neurovascular complications, amplified by aortic surgery risks.
