Role of Cultured Skin Fibroblasts in Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery
The skin is the largest tissue of man with several functions. Cosmetics/cosmeceuticals agents always are needed to be evaluated for their detrimental effects on the skin. Nowadays, the therapeutic potential of stem cells has and fibroblasts have increased the hope for a successful cell therapy in aesthetic medicine. Stem cells are unspecialized cells capable of renewing themselves through cell ...
متن کاملGlycoprotein metabolism in normal and beta-mannosidase-deficient cultured goat skin fibroblasts.
Cultured skin fibroblasts established from goats affected with beta-mannosidosis, an inherited neurovisceral storage disorder, showed an absence of lysosomal beta-mannosidase activity and the corresponding accumulation of a trisaccharide (TS) with the structure Man beta (1----4)GlcNAc beta (1----4)GlcNAc (0.4 mumol/g) and lesser amounts (0.15 mumol/g) of a Man beta (1----4)GlcNAc disaccharide (...
متن کاملMenkes disease: a biochemical abnormality in cultured human fibroblasts.
Cultured skin fibroblasts from patients with Menkes disease, an X-linked disorder involving a defect in copper metabolism, were analyzed for copper concentration by means of atomic absorption spectrophotometry. These cultures consistently exhibited elevated copper concentrations (mean = 335.5 ng of copper per mg of protein) when compared to control fibroblast cultures (mean = 59.2 ng of copper ...

متن کاملHypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency: activity in normal, mutant, and heterozygote-cultured human skin fibroblasts.
Cultured skin fibroblasts from patients deficient for the enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (PRT) activity show very low but nevertheless significant levels of apparent PRT enzyme despite absence of detectable activity (<0.004% of normal) in erythrocytes of the same patients. In fibroblasts this mutant enzyme is more heat labile than the normal enzyme. These findings indicat...
