Contact and frictional properties of stratum corneum of human skin
Biosurface and Biotribology, 2015 Most skin tribology studies gave attention on the examination of frictional properties of normal and healthy skin surfaces. This study aims to investigate the frictional and mechanical properties of skin under different load and friction conditions after

Stratum corneum dysfunction in dandruff [PDF]
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2012 SynopsisDandruff is characterized by a flaky, pruritic scalp and affects up to half the world’s population post‐puberty. The aetiology of dandruff is multifactorial, influenced by Malassezia, sebum production and individual susceptibility. The commensal yeast Malassezia is a strong contributory factor to dandruff formation, but the presence of ...

β-Glucocerebrosidase activity in mammalian stratum corneum
Journal of Lipid Research, 1999 Although previous studies have demonstrated a crucial role for the enzyme β-glucocerebrosidase (GlcCer'ase) in the final steps of membrane structural maturation in mammalian stratum cornuem (SC) and epidermal homeostasis, the precise in vivo localization
