New research has, for the first time, discovered hemoglobin in the uppermost layer of human skin, and found that it helps protect against damage. The findings provide important insights into skin ...

The outer layer of skin, the epidermis, is constantly turning over to replace dead or damaged cells throughout our lifetime. Skin stem cells need to continuously make decisions: either make more ...

The leaf outer epidermal cell wall acts as a barrier against pathogen attack and desiccation, and as such is covered by a cuticle, composed of waxes and the polymer cutin. Cutin monomers are formed by ...

Antigen-driven TCR signaling in the epidermis during CD8+ TRM differentiation results in a lower TGFβ requirement for persistence and increased proliferative capacity that together enhance epidermal ...

Skin injury results when the skin to adhesive attachment is stronger than skin cell to skin cell attachment. As a result, the epidermal layers separate or the epidermis separates completely from the ...

Fluctuation in signal transduction pathways is frequently observed during mammalian development. However, its role in regulating stem cells has not been explored. Here we tracked spatiotemporal ERK ...

A new international study led by Prof. Carmit Levy of the Department of Human Genetics and Biochemistry at the Gray Faculty ...
