Interactions among stratum corneum defensive functions [PDF]

open access: yesExperimental Dermatology, 2005
Abstract:  With the exception of vitamin D production, virtually all epidermal functions can be considered as protective, or more specifically, as defensive in nature (1). Yet, the term “barrier function” of the stratum corneum (SC) is often used synonymously with only one such defensive function, although arguably its most important, i.e ...

Anisotropic dehydration of hydrogel surfaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Efforts to develop tissue-engineered skin for regenerative medicine have explored natural, synthetic, and hybrid hydrogels. The creation of a bilayer material, with the stratification exhibited by native skin is a complex problem. The mechanically robust,

Cinnamic‐Hydroxamic‐Acid Derivatives Exhibit Antibiotic, Anti‐Biofilm, and Supercoiling Relaxation Properties by Targeting Bacterial Nucleoid‐Associated Protein HU

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Cinnamic‐hydroxamic‐acid derivatives (CHADs) are identified as novel inhibitors of the bacterial nucleoid‐associated protein HU, exhibiting potent antibacterial, anti‐biofilm (both inhibition and eradication), and DNA relaxation (anti‐supercoiling) activities. Moreover, CHADs demonstrate strong synergistic effects with multiple antibiotics.

Exploration of the global antioxidant capacity of the stratum corneum by cyclic voltammetry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Cyclic voltammetry is proposed as a new method for evaluating the antioxidant capacity of skin based on the reducing properties of low molecular weight antioxidants (LMWA). Experiments were performed simply by recording the anodic current at 0.9 V/SCE of

The Tape-Stripping Technique as a Method for Drug Quantification in Skin

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2008
Quantification of drugs within the skin is essential for topical and transdermal delivery research. Over the last two decades, horizontal sectioning, consisting of tape stripping throughout the stratum corneum, has become one of the traditional ...
