Metastases are the major cause of death from melanoma, a skin cancer that has the fastest rising incidence of any malignancy in the Western world. Molecular pathways that drive melanoblast migration in development are believed to underpin the movement and ...
Bisphenol A [BPA, 2,2,-bis (hydroxyphenyl) propane] is one of the highest-volume chemicals produced worldwide. It is detected in body fluids of more than 90% of the human population. Originally synthesized as an estrogenic compound, it is currently utilize ...
We have developed two fundamental components to manufacture a prosthetic skin: a stretchable pressure sensor formed of piezoelectric elastomer/ferroelectret multilayer sandwiched between stretchable electrodes and stretchable thin-film transistors. The com ...

Carbon-epoxy prepregs are generally used to form the skins of honeycomb sandwich structures used in aerospace or racing yachts. For some applications, it is desirable to increase the thickness of the skins. In order to achieve an ideal core pressure level ...
Summary We report on a systematic analysis of genotype-specific melanocyte UVR responses in transgenic mouse melanoma models along with tumour penetrance and comparative histopathology. pRb or p53 pathway mutations cooperated with Nras(Q61K) to transform m ...
The realistic reconstruction of hair motion is challenging because of hair’s complex occlusion, lack of a well-defined surface, and non-Lambertian material. We present a system for passive capture of dynamic hair performances using a set of high-speed vide ...
Melanocyte stem cells in the bulge area of hair follicles are responsible for hair pigmentation, and defects in them cause hair graying. Here we describe the process of melanocyte stem cell entry into the quiescent state and show that niche-derived transfo ...
We present a full field laser Doppler imaging instrument, which enables real-time in vivo assessment of blood flow in dermal tissue and skin. This instrument monitors the blood perfusion in an area of about 50 cm² with 480 × 480 pixels per frame at a rate ...
While the pro-differentiation and tumour suppressive functions of Notch signalling in keratinocytes are well established, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. We report here that interferon regulatory factor 6 (IRF6), an IRF family member wi ...
For type 1 Diabetes, insulin injection therapy is the most used treatment today, and insulin pumps are surely the most accurate therapeutic strategy. The insulin use temperature has to not exceed 37°C to prevent unwanted degradation and loss of function. T ...
