Innovative skin hook

Genetics. Zebrafish researchers hook gene for human skin color.

Biology 321 This article reflects important themes that we will explore in this course: • The value of studying model organisms • The molecular basis of allelic variation and how it affects phenotype • In complex traits, allelic variation in more than one gene underlies phenotypic variation • Allele frequencies vary with the population under consideration • The genetic control of many traits is...

"natural Cosmetology": Innovative Approaches to Ameliorate the Skin Barriers

Over the last few years, gelatin and chitosan have been widely used in cosmetology as active materials to maintain and/or improve sk:in-barrier functions. Their different structural and bio-functional characteristics appear to suggest different conditions of elective application. Chitosan seems mainly suitable to maintain a high leve! of skin hydration with a parallel improvement in tissue home...

Skin Absorption Modulation: Innovative Non-Hazardous Technologies for Topical Formulations

The achievement of skin drug delivery needs to conciliate two paradoxical terms: firstly, the major barrier of permeation formed by the stratum corneum needs to be circumvented for skin drug delivery (i.e., skin absorption); secondly, the drug deposition within the skin should be ideally accomplished with a restricted percutaneous absorption. At strictly speaking, the terms of this paradox are ...

Innovative agents for actinic keratosis and nanocarriers enhancing skin penetration.

Actinic keratosis and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma are of increasing importance with aging and increased ultraviolet light exposure in Western societies. Efficient and well-tolerated therapy is still a matter of concern. As with tumours of other organs, new target sites and innovative drugs selectively addressing them are widely looked for. Due to the relevance for DNA synthesis and thus c...
