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 ...

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

Topical Application of Metal Allergens Induces Changes to Lipid Composition of Human Skin
Lipids are an important constituent of skin and are known to be modified in many skin diseases including psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. The direct effects of common metallic contact allergens on the lipid composition of skin has never been investigated,

Thermomechanical Analysis of Stratum Corneum II. Application [PDF]
The viscoelastic and dimensional properties of human stratum corneum as probed by thermomechanical analysis differ significantly from the previously reported data for newborn rat corneum with respect to temperature and degree of several thermally induced

Hyaluronan Exists in the Normal Stratum Corneum [PDF]
Hyaluronan is well known to exist as a water-sorbed macromolecule in the extracellular matrix. We here examined whether hyaluronan exists in the normal stratum corneum. High performance liquid chromatography was used to quantify hyaluronan content in the

On the Correlation between Hydration of the Stratum Corneum and the Nutritional Status of Dialysis Patients [PDF]
Stratum corneum (SC) prevents evaporation of internal moisture and maintains dermal flexibility and fluidity. Malnutrition is known to decrease SC hydration, but involvement of nutritional status in SC hydration of dialysis patients is unclear.
