cleaves corneodesmosin (Caubet et al., 2004). The activity of these serine proteases is under the regulation of inhibitors such as lympho-epithelial kazal-type inhibitor (LEKTI), whose deficiency led to increased SCCE andSCTE activityand the Netherton syndrome, a skin disease (Descargues et al...
The plant is rich with isoquinoline alkaloids, terpenylated dihydrochalcones and benzoic acids and has been reported to possess anti-inflammatory activity. The purpose of this study is to assess the gastroprotective effects of desmosdumotin C (DES), a new isolated bioactive compound from M. kent...
It must be noted here that ETs have also been reported to exhibitsuperantigenactivity. Superantigens bridge T-cell receptors and MHC-II molecules of antigen-presenting cells in an antigen-independent manner. This leads to antigen-unrelated T-cells activation, polyclonal proliferation, and production...

For some experiments, keratinocytes were treated with either dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (Sigma-Aldrich) or 100 µM CK666 (Sigma-Aldrich) for 4 h to inhibit Arp2/3 complex activity. To visualize lipid rafts in keratinocytes, the Vybrant Lipid Raft Labeling Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) ...
Self-standing CdS/TiO2 Janus nanofiberous membrane: COD removal, antibacterial activity and photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants CdS/TiO2heterojunction formed by a simple deposition of CdS NPs onto TiO2 nanofibers via the SILAR method.Janus function such as COD removal, antibacterial...

47 As a consequence of EGFR activation and the delay in anagen entry in first telogen stage upon loss of Dsg3 transadhesion (Figures 4 and S1C), we expected reduced Wnt activity upon AK23 treatment. However, canonical Wnt also regulates self-renewal of epidermal keratinocytes,48 suggesting a ...
Special inserts constructed for the EPISKIN model27 were used with an assayed surface area of 0.357 cm2. Skin models were mounted into Franz cells (diameter 15 mm, volume 12 ml; PermeGear) with the stratum corneum facing the air. The system was allowed to equilibrate for 30 min before a ...
further dilution at 5 °C until measurement. The free maleimide of the cross-linkers binds to the C-terminal thiol side chain of a unique cystein C447 (C496) within the recombinant Dsg2 fragment. Both, cantilevers and substrates could be used without loss of activity for up to four days...
Intracellular signals can also be propagated by desmosomal components; for example, Pg has been shown to negatively regulate the activity of Src kinase and RhoGTPase family. Although Pg can be found in different junction types, the metabolic stability andcellular localizationof Pg are tightly regulat...
