Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of the chain length distribution of free fatty acids on the mixing properties of stratum corneum model membranes.
TL;DR: The thermotropic phase behavior and the mixing properties of the SC lipid mixtures were shown to strongly depend on the chain length and chain length distribution of FFAs, while hydration enhanced the phase separation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared photodissociation spectroscopy of protonated ammonia cluster ions, NH4+(NH3)n (n=5-8), by using infrared free electron laser.
TL;DR: Analyses by the density functional theory (DFT) show that the spectral features observed can be assigned to the nu(2) vibrational mode of the NH(3) molecules in NH(4) (+)(NH(3))(n).
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A multilayered structure in the human hair cortex is found using the new imaging technique, CARS peak-shift mapping, which clearly visualizes the treatment induced changes in protein secondary structures and their spatial distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vivo evaluation of lateral lipid chain packing in human stratum corneum
TL;DR: The matrix of intercellular lipids of stratum corneum plays an important role in the barrier function of SC and it is important to understand the structure of the ICL matrix for dermatology and cosmetic science.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment with Synthetic Pseudoceramide Improves Atopic Skin, Switching the Ceramide Profile to a Healthy Skin Phenotype.
TL;DR: Results indicate that the penetrated pCer contributes to shift the ceramide profile from an AD to a healthy skin phenotype, providing a deep insight into the pathogenesis of AD as a ceramide-deficient disease.
