research Conditional knock out of N-WASP in keratinocytes causes skin barrier defects and atopic dermatitis-like inflammation
N-WASP is essential for healthy skin and preventing inflammation.
research Does dry skin indicate defective epidermal permeability barrier?
Dry skin does not mean the skin's protective barrier is broken; it's often due to a lack of natural skin moisturizers.
research Obesity resistance of the stearoyl-CoA desaturase-deficient (scd1 -/-) mouse results from disruption of the epidermal lipid barrier and adaptive thermoregulation
Deleting the scd1 gene in mice prevents obesity by disrupting skin lipids and improving heat regulation.

research Epithelial barrier function: assembly and structural features of the cornified cell envelope
The cornified cell envelope forms a protective barrier in skin and hair, using specific proteins and lipids to maintain effectiveness.
research The Transmembrane Serine Protease HAT-like 4 Is Important for Epidermal Barrier Function to Prevent Body Fluid Loss
HAT-L4 is crucial for preventing body fluid loss by maintaining skin barrier integrity.
research The pattern recognition receptor toll-like receptor 3 regulates skin barrier homeostasis
Toll-like receptor 3 helps repair the skin barrier after UV damage.
research Epidermis-specific ablation of claudin-1 in adult mice demonstrates the essential role of a tight junction barrier in skin homeostasis
