The acyl-CoA binding protein is required for normal epidermal barrier function in mice
The acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP) is a 10 kDa intracellular protein expressed in all eukaryotic species. Mice with targeted disruption of Acbp (ACBP−/− mice) are viable and fertile but present a visible skin and fur phenotype characterized by greasy ...

Stratum corneum dysfunction in dandruff [PDF]
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 ...

Characterization of stratum corneum structure in reconstructed epidermis by X-ray diffraction.
The intercellular lipid regions in the stratum corneum (SC), the outermost layer of the skin, form the major barrier for diffusion of substances through the skin. The barrier function of in vitro reconstructed epidermis is still impaired. With respect to
