Journal ArticleDOI
Free fatty acids chain length distribution affects the permeability of skin lipid model membranes.
TL;DR: The conformational mobility of the short chain FFAs present only at low levels in the model SC lipid membranes has a great impact on the permeability of E-PABA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase behavior of skin lipid mixtures: the effect of cholesterol on lipid organization
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that CHOL is an indispensable component of the SC lipid matrix and is of fundamental importance for appropriate dense lipid organization and thus important for the skin barrier function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two new methods for preparing a unique stratum corneum substitute.
TL;DR: The linomat method was chosen as the preferred method for preparing the stratum corneum substitute, increasing the efficiency and reproducibility of the manual airbrush method, and reducing the lipid loss during preparation and results in SCS with a more uniform membrane thickness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal Behavior of Poly Hydroxy Ethyl Methacrylate (pHEMA) Hydrogels
TL;DR: The inability of part of the water in pHEMA gels to freeze is not a thermodynamic phenomenon but is caused by kinetic factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
