Sensory Biology of the Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei, Pontoporiidae, Cetartiodactyla): Ontogenetic Modifications of Vibrissae and Vibrissal Crypts

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...

Amphibian‐Derived Peptide OA‐AL14 Alleviates UVB‐Induced Skin Photoaging via Autophagy Activation Mediated by the AMPK/mTOR Pathway

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The schematic diagram illustrates that the amphibian‐derived peptide OA‐AL14 protects against UVB‐induced skin photoaging through a dual mechanism: activating the Nrf2 pathway to counteract oxidative stress and modulating the AMPK/mTOR axis to induce protective autophagy. ABSTRACT Skin photoaging, primarily driven by ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, is a

Solute Structure-Permeability Relationships in Human Stratum Corneum

open access: yes, 1989
The permeability coefficients (kp) of a series of methyl-substituted p-cresols were determined in human stratum corneum along with their partition coefficients (PC) between water and untreated stratum corneum, delipidized stratum corneum, octanol, and ...

Saving Water to Survive: Alternative Water Loss Strategies Could Explain Color Polymorphism Maintenance in a Lacertid Lizard

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that red male Podarcis muralis exhibit higher evaporative water loss compared to other morphs, indicating a physiological strategy that prioritizes hydroregulation over fine thermoregulation. This suggests red morphs are adapted to cooler, wetter niches, while white and yellow morphs possess superior water conservation mechanisms to ...

Divergent Paths: A Comprehensive Review of Mechanisms and Clinical Implications in Atopic Dermatitis and Psoriasis

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atopic dermatitis and psoriasis are two common cutaneous chronic inflammatory diseases. Although they share similar immunological mechanisms, their clinical implications in the patient are different. This review compares both diseases from different points of view such as genetics, natural history, triggers of disease, and skin barrier defects

Rapid Human Skin Barrier Disruption by Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate and Associated Molecular Mechanisms

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Short‐term exposure to SDS rapidly disrupts human skin barrier integrity within minutes, as detected by real‐time electrical impedance spectroscopy. SDS‐induced barrier dysfunction is driven by oxidative stress, leading to suppression of immune/barrier mediators and activation of stress, lipid remodeling, and epidermal differentiation pathways ...

Emollient Formulations and Skin Barrier Practices in the Context of Eczema and Food Allergy Prevention

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The skin is far from a passive shield; it functions as a dynamic “living barrier” whose structural and immunological integrity is paramount in preventing atopic dermatitis (AD) and the subsequent progression of the atopic march toward food allergy (FA).

Distinct Skin Penetration and Immune Responses to Ionic and Nanoparticulate Cobalt in Allergic Contact Dermatitis

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Cobalt chloride (CoCl2) and cobalt nanoparticles (CoNPs) induce a shared, severity‐dependent inflammatory response in cobalt‐sensitized skin characterized by activation of interferon signaling, inflammatory pathways (TNF/NF‐κβ, IL6‐STAT3), apoptosis/UPR, cell cycle programs, and glycolysis.

Understanding the effect of skin mechanical properties on the friction of human finger-pads [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The aim of this work is to achieve an understanding of the effect of skin mechanical properties on the friction of human finger-pads. This project primarily concentrates on gaining a more fundamental understanding of the frictional properties of skin. To

Contact sensitisers activate keratinocytes and induce cytotoxicity via Transient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1 in allergic contact dermatitis

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a frequent inflammatory skin disease with limited therapeutic options. While neuronal Transient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) has been implicated in ACD, the role of keratinocyte TRPA1 remains unclear.
