Malassezia restricta-mediated Lipoperoxidation: A Novel Trigger in Dandruff

, ,
Dandruff is a common scalp disorder with multiple microbial and host-related factors contributing to its aetiology, including alterations in scalp sebum.

Innate immunity activation of sebocyte cells by living bacteria. Evidence of a potential immunosuppressive effect of DHT.

, , , , ,
Acne is a skin pathology targeting the pilosebaceous unit…sebum hypersecretion and bacterial infection. We studied the effects of living bacteria on the induction of an innate immune response in a sebocyte cell line.

Human embryonic stem-cell derivatives for full reconstruction of the pluristratified epidermis: a preclinical study

, , , , ,
To assess whether the keratinocyte progeny of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) could be used to form a temporary skin substitute for use in patients awaiting autologous grafts, we investigated the cells' capability of constructing a pluristratified epidermis.

Keratinocytes as targets for cytokines in skin inflammation

, , , , , , ,
Current knowledge about the effects of different cytokine families on keratinocytes, and more particularly theirinvolvement in skin inflammation and in the development of inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis
5-alpha-reductase

Expression of type 1 5-alpha-reductase and metabolism of testosterone in reconstructed human epidermis

, , ,
We analysed the potential of a human epidermal tissue reconstituted by cell culture (RHE, provided by SkinEthic Laboratories, Nice, France) as a model for assessing 5-alphaR activity.
