  2. 1. Humectants and skin : effects of hydration from molecule to man

    Author : Cathrine Albèr; Malmö högskola; []
    Keywords : skin; stratum corneum; hydration; hyaluronan; glycerol; urea;

    Abstract : Humectants belong to a group of hydrophilic compounds frequently used in skin care products with the aim to diminish the clinical symptom of skin dryness. The biochemical and biophysical mechanisms by which humectants interact with the skin barrier are far from fully understood. READ MORE

  4. 2. p53 Alterations in Human Skin : A Molecular Study Based on Morphology

    Author : Ling Gao; Christer Bush Bush; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; p53; skin; mutation; carcinogenesis; microdissection; UV; Basal cell cancer BCC ; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Pathology; patologi;

    Abstract : Mutation of the p53 gene appears to be an early event in skin cancer development. The present study is based on morphology and represents a cellular and genetic investigation of p53 alterations in normal human skin and basal cell cancer. READ MORE

  5. 3. Limonene Hydroperoxides in Allergic Contact Dermatitis. Radical Formation, Sensitizing Capacity and Immunogenic Complex Formation

    Author : Staffan Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; allergic contact dermatitis; contact allergy; immunogenic complex; limonene hydroperoxides; local lymph node assay; patch testing; radicals; sensitizing capacity; skin;

    Abstract : Contact allergy to fragrance compounds is an increasing problem in the western countries today. R-Limonene is one of the most common fragrance compounds; it is used in hygiene products and cosmetics as well as in industrial products such as hand cleansers and degreasers. READ MORE

  6. 4. Preservation of Marine Reptile Soft Parts: Reconstructing the Life and Death of Ancient Leviathans

    Author : Randolph De La Garza; Berggrundsgeologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular paleontology; Taphonomy; Soft-tissues; Lagerstätten; Skin; Sea Turtle; Ichthyosaur; Fur Formation; Posidonia Shale; Paleobiology; Marine Reptiles;

    Abstract : Marine reptiles constitute a diverse group of secondarily aquatic tetrapods that have inhabited the world’s oceans for the greater part of the last 250 million years. While certain large-scale anatomical changes have been observed through progressive alterations of their skeletal morphology (e.g. READ MORE

  7. 5. Epoxides as Contact Allergens - Formation, Sensitising Potency and Structure-Activity Relationships

    Author : Ida Belogorcev Niklasson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Allergic contact dermatitis; Autoxidation; Bioactivation; Cinnamic alcohol; Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A DGEBA ; Epoxide; Epoxy resin; Local lymph node assay; Polymerisation; Peptide reactivity; Prehapten; Prohapten; Sensitisation; Skin; Structure-Activity Relationship; Thermogravimetric Analysis;

    Abstract : Chemicals in our environment with which we have repeated skin contact can cause skin sensitisation (contact allergy). To trigger an immune response a compound (hapten) must be able to penetrate the skin, where it needs to be reactive enough to bind to proteins and form immunogenic complexes that are recognised as foreign.
