Epidermal barrier formation and recovery in skin disorders.
Skin is at the interface between the complex physiology of the body and the external, often hostile, environment, and the semipermeable epidermal barrier prevents both the escape of moisture and the entry of infectious or toxic substances. Newborns with rare congenital barrier defects underscore the skin's essential role in a terrestrial environment and demonstrate the compensatory responses ev...
متن کاملmTORC1 and mTORC2 regulate skin morphogenesis and epidermal barrier formation
Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a regulator of growth in many tissues, mediates its activity through two multiprotein complexes, mTORC1 or mTORC2. The role of mTOR signalling in skin morphogenesis and epidermal development is unknown. Here we identify mTOR as an essential regulator in skin morphogenesis by epidermis-specific deletion of Mtor in mice (mTOREKO). mTOREKO mutants are viable, ...
متن کاملAbnormal Epidermal Barrier Recovery in Uninvolved Skin supports the Notion of an Epidermal Pathogenesis of Psoriasis
Psoriasis. Due to primary genetic defects, the epidermal permeability barrier is vulnerable in psoriatic subjects. Mechanical traumas, such as scratches or abrasion, damage the skin barrier, especially during low humidity seasons, such as the winter. While barrier function can be readily maintained in normal subjects, in psoriatic patients, a compromised barrier cannot be completely repaired po...
متن کاملSuperficial dermal fibroblasts enhance basement membrane and epidermal barrier formation in tissue-engineered skin: implications for treatment of skin basement membrane disorders.
Basement membrane is a highly specialized structure that binds the dermis and the epidermis of the skin, and is mainly composed of laminins, nidogen, collagen types IV and VII, and the proteoglycans, collagen type XVIII and perlecan, all of which play critical roles in the function and resilience of skin. Both dermal fibroblasts and epidermal keratinocytes contribute to the development of the b...
متن کاملImproved epidermal barrier formation in human skin models by chitosan modulated dermal matrices
Full thickness human skin models (FTMs) contain an epidermal and a dermal equivalent. The latter is composed of a collagen dermal matrix which harbours fibroblasts. Current epidermal barrier properties of FTMs do not fully resemble that of native human skin (NHS), which makes these human skin models less suitable for barrier related studies. To further enhance the resemblance of NHS for epiderm...
