The role of photoreceptors in human skin physiology; potential targets for light-based wound healing treatments. Identification of opsins and cryptochromes and the effect of photobiomodulation on human skin and in cultured primary epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts
… was seen in female facial and abdominal human skin. Furthermore, expression of these photoreceptors was retained in primary epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts in culture; both cell types expressed OPN1-SW, OPN3, CRY1 and CRY2, at the mRNA and protein level. OPN2 was only expressed …

Determinants of systemic treatment response in atopic dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin disease characterized by intense pruritus and recurrent eczema. Its heterogeneous pathophysiology involves epidermal barrier dysfunction, immune dysregulation, and alterations of the skin microbiome. Despite major advances through targeted …

A skin surface characterization system based on capacitive image analysis
… evaluate characteristic properties of the human skin by using non-invasive approaches. Mostly, these methods cover aspects related to either dermatology, to analyze skin physiology and to evaluate the effectiveness of medical treatments in skin diseases, or dermocosmetics and cosmetic science to …

Assessing sources of variation in amphibian skin thickness: ecological and evolutionary implications
The skin is the largest organ of the body and provides many functions. Among tetrapod vertebrates, amphibian skin is semi-permeable and responsible for a greater proportion of water absorption and gas exchange. Myriad factors affect the physiological performance of amphibian skin. Morphological …

Effect of Between-Meal Eating on Stomach Emptying Time
<p>As yet there is little agreement among health workers as to whether the practice of between-meal eating is harmful, beneficial, or indifferent in its influence on health. Studies which have been done heretofore on between-meal eating have been concerned with the effects on growth, appetite, …

Identification and characterization of epithelial progenitor niches in skin
The skin contains a highly regionalized stem and progenitor cell niche system, where a particular epithelial progenitor population primarily displays unipotent or bipotent behavior by contributing to their local niche under homeostatic conditions. Some of these populations, however, can also …

Role of Prostaglandin E2 In The Regulation of Pancreatic Stellate Cells Hyper Activity Associated With Pancreatic Cancer
<p>Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal type of cancer due to its high metastasis rate and resistance to chemotherapy. Pancreatic fibrosis is a constant pathological feature of chronic pancreatitis and the hyperactive stroma associated with pancreatic cancer. Strong evidence supports an …

Effects of Prebiotics on Gut Bacterial Communities and Healing of Induced Colitis in Mice
<p>Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) cause chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and debilitating symptoms in those suffering from the diseases. After inducing colitis in a mouse model using Dextran Sulfate Sodium (DSS), prebiotics inulin and oligofructose enriched inulin (OEI) were …

Effect of Coconut Oil on Ulcerative Colitis in the Mouse Model
<p>Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic disease of the colon or large intestine that causes inflammation and ulceration of the inner lining of the colon and rectum. In patients with ulcerative colitis, the body’s immune system overreacts and the body mistakes food, bacteria or other internal …

Racemization of Amino Acids in Teeth for the Determination of Age
<p>Instrumental to forensic investigations is the ability to identify unknown human remains providing key evidence to criminal cases, resolution to missing persons, and assistance in mass or natural disasters. Identification of remains in an effort to determine age is an area of forensics that has …

The Role of The Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 2 In Pancreatic Cancer: Mechanisms of Tumor Immunosuppression and Intestinal Radioprotection
<p>Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a devastating disease with dismal prognosis. The only curative option for patients is surgery, but over 80% of patients are not surgical candidates. Unfortunately, PDAC is resistant to the three remaining options. PDAC is characterized by a profoundly …
