The pH of the skin surface and its impact on the barrier function [PDF]
The `acid mantle' of the stratum corneum seems to be important for both permeability barrier formation and cutaneous antimicrobial defense. However, the origin of the acidic pH, measurable on the skin surface, remains conjectural.

The Importance of Hydration in Wound Healing: Reinvigorating the clinical perspective [PDF]
Balancing skin hydration levels is important as any disruption in skin integrity will result in disturbance of the dermal water balance. The discovery that a moist wound healing environment actively supports the healing response when compared to a dry ...

Skin Microbiome Composition and Key Factors of its Barrier Function
The skin is the largest organ of the human body, it creates protective barrier between the internal and external environment. Skin barrier damage may result in homeostasis imbalance, inflammation, or bacterial infection.

Physiological and Molecular Effects of in vivo and ex vivo Mild Skin Barrier Disruption [PDF]
The success of topically applied treatments on skin relies on the efficacy of skin penetration. In order to increase particle or product penetration, mild skin barrier disruption methods can be used.

Molecular organization and in situ assembly of the human skin barrier [PDF]
A deficient skin barrier function is a characteristic feature of skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis and the ichtyoses. A malformation of the lipid matrix might be a major factor in barrier deficient skin disease.

The epidthelial sodium channel ENaC and its regulators in the epidermal permeability barrier function [PDF]
The highly amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel ENaC is well known to be involved in controlling whole body sodium homeostasis and lung liquid clearance. ENaC expression has also been detected in the skin of amphibians and mammals.
