Sometimes confused with the skin barrier, the acid mantle is “a thin film over the skin barrier that determines skin’s pH, which should be slightly acidic to protect against pathogens,” Dr. Farhang says. It’s composed of sebum, the natural oil produced by skin’s sebaceous glands, and...
A novel skin care ointment based on microparticles of microalgal biomass (Mare-some) is suitable for the prevention of dermal colonization with dermal pathogens. Besides being well tolerated and stabilizing the skin barrier function, a single dose of the algal ointment is capable to inhibit the ...
Microneedles (MNs) are used extensively for treating skin diseases due to their capability to provide less-invasive targeted drug delivery.Intelligent MNs can be fabricated from biocompatible materials with specialized properties, thereby providing improved treatment efficacy.Currently, there are limitations ...
The skin is not only the body’s largest organ but also its primary shield against external threats, from pathogens to pollutants. At the heart of this protective role lies the skin's lipid barrier – a delicate and intricate structure often taken for granted. Yet, understanding and...
The mucosal immune system encounters antigens that enhance and suppress immune function, and serves as a selective barrier against invading pathogens. The ... M Bharathan,IK Mullarky - 《Journal of Mammary Gland Biology & Neoplasia》 被引量: 35发表: 2011年 Targeting Mucosal Immunity in the Batt...
Mucous glands secrete a slimy protective layer, which prevents mechanical damage to the skin, facilitates retention of body fluids, and provides a barrier against pathogens. Granular glands synthesize and secrete a variety of compounds that protect against predators, as well as chemicals that have ...
Recent research has shown that toxic chemicals used in flame-proofing plastics can be absorbed into the human body through skin contact with microplastics. This absorption occurs as these chemicals leach into human sweat and then cross the skin barrier into the bloodstream. The study, which involved...

Not only is skin the largest organ of the body, it is also one of the most multifaceted. It senses our surroundings and forms a protective barrier against many different environmental insults, including ultraviolet radiation and pathogens. As our interface with the outside world, skin — through...
