Theskin The outermost layer of the lid is the skin, with features not greatly different from skin on the rest of the body, with the possible exception of largepigmentcells, which, although found elsewhere, are much more numerous in the skin of the lids. The cells may wander, and it is...
Using our unique dual-colour fluorescent technique (Oda et al. 1997), we analysed microsatellite alterations in detail in a rela- tively large panel of tumours from EC patients and found that the two modes of MSI, i.e. Type A and Type B, are indeed observed in this malignancy. More...
Photoaging is a major cause of skin ageing. Ultraviolet radiation is a key factor in this process, as it can increase the expression of inflammatory factors, promote an inflammatory response, and disrupt the balance between extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and degradation, resulting in impaired ...
respectively) were then used as models for the co-encapsulation of Ce6, a second-generation photosensitizer, and CoQH, an antioxidant with possible anticancer activity, to produce formulations (CoCUB and CoHEX, for cubosomes and hexosomes, respectively) suitable for PDT of skin metastatic human ...
(5.0 ml) was added. The reaction mixture was then stirred under H2pressure (3 bar) for 40 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with deionized water (35 ml), and the catalyst was filtered off. The colourless solution was concentrated to be 30 ml, and then diluted with deionized water (...
Increasing attention is addressed to identify products able to enhance skin photoprotection and to prevent skin carcinogenesis. Several studies have demonstrated that the α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (αMSH), acting on a functional MC1R, provides a
An 11-color skin color palette was used to represent the range of possible human skin colors, as shown in Figure 2. The skin color palette was validated for international contexts and the full development of the palette is available elsewhere [31]. HEX color values for each portion of the ...
Moreover, the infection led to a shutdown of the purine and pyrimidine synthesis in the A549 host cell, whereas other metabolic routes such as the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway remained active. In summary, our data show that the infection with S. aureus negatively affects growth, alters the...
Tetrazolium salt WST-8 is reduced by cellular dehydrogenases to water soluble orange coloured product (formazan) and the intensity of the colour is determined spectrophotometrically. Nutrients 2019, 11, 218 4 of 15 Scratch assay was carried out to determine the wound healing abilities of BEAS-2B ...
