Transepidermal Water Loss of Human Newborns
Transepidermal water loss (TWL) measurements of healthy human term newborns were determined by resistance hygrometry. The average TWL of newborn upper back skin was found to be slightly but significantly lower than the TWL of comparable adult back skin.

ABSTRACT Harlequin ichthyosis is a rare, life‐threatening neonatal dermatologic emergency that can be confidently diagnosed clinically at birth. Prompt recognition and early supportive management—including thermoregulation, fluid balance, infection prevention, and intensive skin care—are crucial determinants of survival, especially in low‐resource ...

Curcumin Nanoformulations for Dermatological Applications: From Nutraceuticals to Nanocarriers
Nanotechnology‐based delivery platforms enhance the cutaneous administration of curcumin. Loading free curcumin into polymeric micelles, metal‐based nanoparticles, nanogels/hydrogels, liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, or nanoemulsions/nanocrystals helps address its low solubility, poor stability and limited skin permeation. As a result, these systems

The role of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)-like axis in inflammatory pilosebaceous disorders [PDF]
Skin is the largest peripheral endocrine organ and functions as a hormone target and endocrine gland. A cutaneous hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)-like axis enables the skin to respond to stress and regulates its steroidogenic activity.

Disc‐Toroid Hybrid Lipid Nanoparticles for Efficient Drug Encapsulation and Subcutaneous Delivery
This study demonstrates sub‐50 nm solid‐lipid nanoparticles with long‐term stability, high drug loading, and strong tissue compatibility. Disc‐toroid morphology is confirmed and may play a role in cellular interactions, while low cytotoxicity and minimal systemic permeation confirm depot‐like behavior. These nanoparticles represent a versatile platform
