We introduce a simple and cheap method for phase-shifting Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FDOCT) that does not need additional devices and can easily be implemented. A small beam offset at the fast beam-scanning mirror introduces a causal phas ...
Epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin and is in direct contact with the external environment, requiring keratinocyte stem cells to adapt constantly. Recently, our laboratory has put forward the role of mTOR in temperature-mediated keratinocyte stem ...
Squamous stratified epithelia tissues are self-renewing, which quality implies the existence of stem cells. In skin the presence of bona fide multipotent stem cells has been demonstrated by long-term, serial grafting assays. We isolated, cultivated and exp ...
Barrier film for encapsulation of oxygen and moisture sensitive devices comprising a base polymer substrate and applied onto the base substrate, a barrier layer comprising an inorganic coating deposited by a vapour deposition method, characterised in that ...
The mammary gland development is regulated by steroid and peptide hormones and occurs mainly after birth, compared to the majority of the other organs in the body. The principal hormones responsible for the breast development are the estrogen, the progeste ...
Non-autoclave processing of honeycomb sandwich structures generally leads to poor compaction and high porosity of the skins along with a decreased skin-core adhesion. Air permeability of the skins, a critical parameter of low pressure processing, is often ...
In hair follicles, dermal papilla (DP) and dermal sheath (DS) cells exhibit striking levels of plasticity, as each can regenerate both cell types. Here, we show that thrombin induces a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt pathway-dependent acquisition of D ...
This project investigates skin anatomy and physiology by three optical, non-invasive techniques: Fringe projection topography mainly for the investigation of tissue topography Parallel laser Doppler blood flow imaging for the investigation of tissue micro ...
Epidermal Langerhans cells (LC) play a pivotal role in initiating and maintaining primary immune responses in the skin. In the present study, we asked whether peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARalpha) activation modulates LC function. Ou ...
Images of a scene captured with multiple cameras will have different color values due to variations in capture and color rendering across devices. We present a method to accurately retrieve color information from uncalibrated images taken under uncontrolle ...
