Comparing skin characteristics and molecular markers of xerotic foot skin between diabetic and non-diabetic subjects: An exploratory study
Xerosis cutis of the feet is one of the most common skin conditions among type 2 diabetics.
Survey of cytokines on ocular surfaces of atopic dogs by multiplex analysis using two sampling methods – a pilot Study
Conjunctivitis in atopic dogs has already been described yet is rarely observed, and likely underdiagnosed in practice.
Increased fatty acid synthesis inhibits nitrogen starvation-induced autophagy in lipid droplet-deficient yeast
Cerulenin, a potent inhibitor of fatty acid synthase, and exogenous addition of palmitic acid could restore nitrogen-starvation induced autophagy in the absence of lipid droplets.
Involvement of IL-1 and Oncostatin M in acanthosis associated with hypertensive leg ulcer
Hypertensive leg ulcer (HLU) is an inflammatory disease characterized by intense pain, alteration of vascularization, and skin necrosis. The optimal treatment relies on surgical removal of necrotic tissues covered by a split-skin graft.
Foreskin-isolated keratinocytes provide successful extemporaneous autologous paediatric skin grafts
We report a successful method for grafting paediatric males presenting large severe burns through direct spreading of autologous foreskin keratinocytes. This alternative method is easy to implement, improves the quality of skin and minimizes associated donor site morbidity. in vitro studies have highlighted the potential of foreskin tissue for graft applications and could help in tissue selection with the prospect of grafting burns for girls.
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.
