The barrier function of the skin is primarily located in the stratum corneum (SC), the
outermost layer of the skin. The SC is composed of dead cells with highly organized lipid …

Skin's effectiveness as a barrier to permeation of water and other chemicals rests almost
entirely in the outermost layer of the epidermis, the stratum corneum (SC), which consists of …

Thylakoid membranes, the universal structure where photosynthesis takes place in all
oxygenic photosynthetic organisms from cyanobacteria to higher plants, have a unique lipid …

The membrane is one of the key structural materials of biology at the cellular level.
Composed predominantly of a bilayer of lipids with embedded and bound proteins, it defines …

The extracellular lipid matrix in the skin's outermost layer, the stratum corneum, is crucial for
the skin barrier. The matrix is composed of ceramides (CERs), cholesterol (CHOL) and free …

Stratum Corneum (SC), the outermost layer of skin, is mainly responsible for skin's barrier
function. The complex lipid matrix of SC determines these barrier properties. In this study …

The skin barrier function is provided by the stratum corneum (SC). The lipids in the SC are
composed of three lipid classes: ceramides (CERs), cholesterol (CHOL) and free fatty acids …

Omega-O-acyl ceramides such as 32-linoleoyloxydotriacontanoyl sphingosine (Cer [EOS])
are essential components of the lipid skin barrier, which protects our body from excessive …

Understanding the lipid arrangement within the skin's outermost layer, the stratum corneum
(SC), is important for advancing knowledge on the skin barrier function. The SC lipid matrix …

The skin is an effective barrier that prevents the influx of harmful substances from the
environment and the efflux of body fluid. This barrier function is ascribed to the intercellular …
