The acyl-CoA binding protein is required for normal epidermal barrier function in mice
Journal of Lipid Research, 2012 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 ...

By protecting against cutaneous inflammation, epidermal pigmentation provided an additional advantage for ancestral humans. [PDF]
, 2019 Pigmentation evolved in ancestral humans to protect against toxic, ultraviolet B irradiation, but the question remains: "what is being protected?" Because humans with dark pigmentation display a suite of superior epidermal functions in comparison with ...

A Note on the Trandermal Delivery of Clenbuterol [PDF]
, 1992 A modified diffusion/compartmental model has been used to simulate the transdermal uptake of clenbuterol from a matrix-type delivery device. The application of a fresh device every 7 days was found to produce a pseudo-steady state drug plasma profile ...

Characterization of stratum corneum structure in reconstructed epidermis by X-ray diffraction.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1995 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
Frontiers in Toxicology, 2022 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,

Water permeation through stratum corneum lipid bilayers from atomistic simulations [PDF]
, 2009 Stratum corneum, the outermost layer of skin, consists of keratin filled rigid non-viable corneocyte cells surrounded by multilayers of lipids. The lipid layer is responsible for the barrier properties of the skin.

The Importance of Hydration in Wound Healing: Reinvigorating the clinical perspective [PDF]
, 2016 Balancing skin hydration levels is important as any disruption in skin integrity will result in disturbance of the dermal water balance. The discovery that a moist wound healing environment actively supports the healing response when compared to a dry ...
