January 2012 in “Elsevier eBooks” The document concludes that the skin is a complex organ providing protection, sensation, and healing, with challenges in treating conditions like itchiness.
August 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that tight junctions extend to the most superficial layer of the stratum granulosum in human skin, challenging previous claims of their limited presence in the epidermis.
22 citations
,
September 1986 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that low-dose topical alpha-terthienyl combined with UVA radiation can induce cutaneous photosensitization in guinea pigs, suggesting a possible photochemotherapy approach for skin diseases like psoriasis.
February 2025 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that in a human skin organ culture model of pemphigus vulgaris, split formation led to significant upregulation of IFNγ and TNFα-related genes, indicating secondary effects from mechanical stress, not direct changes from autoantibodies.
January 2014 in “한국미용학회지” This study observed that long-term UV-A exposure and semi-permanent dye treatment can cause significant structural damage to human hair, particularly affecting the cuticle and cortex layers.
