Morphological aspects of an artificial skin.
Culture technology have permitted the generation of an artificial skin using human neonatal stem cells. A major advantage of this model is that epithelial-mesenchymal interactions are maintained. We have studied some morphological aspects concerning tissue organisation and cell differentiation using immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. The epidermal equivalent was composed by a stratif...
متن کاملChanges in Skin Color after Smoking Cessation
This study was performed to assess changes in skin color over 1 month after smoking cessation. The study population consisted of 49 men who participated in a smoking cessation program from March 2010 to June 2010 at a public health centre in Yangsan, South Korea. Thirty-four men who stop smoking completely were included in our study. Instrumental evaluations of skin color were performed using M...
متن کاملComparison of Skin Erythema and Melanin Level in Sulfur Mustard Induced Chronic Skin Lesions and Normal Skin
Background: Sulfur mustard gas is a chemical agent that has been used in many wars, especially in Iran-Iraq war. This chemical agent affects many organs including lungs, eyes and skin, causing numerous acute and chronic lesions including erythema and hyperpigmentation, respectively. This study was conducted to evaluate erythema and melanin in subjects with a history of exposure to sulfur ...
متن کاملFace Segmentation Using Novel Skin-Color Map And Morphological Technique
The paper proposes a novel algorithm to dynamically define the Region of Interest (ROI) videophone application. The algorithm uses the color information Hue and Cr to find the skincolor pixels and also use range of threshold obtained from red and blue components in normalized RGB color space to remove nonskincolor pixels because the human skin tends to have a predominance of red and non-predomi...
متن کاملMorphological castes in a vertebrate.
Morphological specialization for a specific role has, until now, been assumed to be restricted to social invertebrates. Herein we show that complete physical dimorphism has evolved between reproductives and helpers in the eusocial naked mole-rat. Dimorphism is a consequence of the lumbar vertebrae lengthening after the onset of reproduction in females. This is the only known example of morpholo...
