Making an Epidermis

Reconstructed Human Epidermis: an Efficient Prediction Tool

RHE has the ultimate advantage to grow donor epidermal cells in a serumfree culture environment: after rapidly proliferating preparative keratinocyte cultures have been obtained, the yielded epidermal cells are seeded on inert filter substrates that are lifted to the air-liquid interface in a humidified-air incubator. A fully-defined nutrient medium feeds the basal cells through the filter subs...

The Epidermis

several thousand sets of quotation marks, parentheses, and italics. Hardly a page in the book does not have at least a dozen words in quotations unnecessarily. Despite these objections there is much useful information in the book, which would be well for physicians to know. The book is at its best when it discusses sex education of the child and parental attitudes toward children. It is at its ...

در ملانوم بدخیم Consumption of the epidermis

Background and Aim: Consumption of the epidermis (COE) is defined as thinning of the epidermis with attenuation of the basal and suprabasal layers and loss of rete ridges in areas of direct contact with malignant melanocytes. The aim of this study was to investigate the importance of COE as an additional diagnostic criterion for malignant melanoma and to evaluate its relationship to clinicopath...

Chemerin Is an Antimicrobial Agent in Human Epidermis

Chemerin, a chemoattractant ligand for chemokine-like receptor 1 (CMKLR1) is predicted to share similar tertiary structure with antibacterial cathelicidins. Recombinant chemerin has antimicrobial activity. Here we show that endogenous chemerin is abundant in human epidermis, and that inhibition of bacteria growth by exudates from organ cultures of primary human skin keratinocytes is largely che...
