Using a small, but very instructive experiment, it is demonstrated that laser-Doppler flowmetry (LDF) at large interoptode spacing represents a unique tool for new investigations of thermoregulatory processes modulating the blood flow of small muscle masse ...
Skin tones, portraits in particular, are of critical importance in photography and video, but a number of factors, such as pigmentation irregularities (e.g., moles, freckles), irritation, roughness, or wrinkles can reduce their appeal. Moreover, such “defe ...
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) have been revealed as key regulators of several skin disorders. This has led to a growing interest in the development of drugs targeting PPARs as therapeutics for skin diseases. To evaluate skin PPAR acti ...
The epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor/ligand system stimulates multiple pathways of signal transduction, and is activated by various extracellular stimuli and inter-receptor crosstalk signaling. Aberrant activation of EGF receptor (EGFR) signaling is ...
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. The pressure level inside the honeycomb cells plays an important role and is controlled ...
Measures of skin elasticity, immediate retraction and distention as well as pigmentation and erythema will be conducted on various anatomical sites to compile a profile of skin properties. ...
To address the requirement for lymphatic capillaries in dendritic cell (DC) mobilization from skin to lymph nodes (LNs), we used mice bearing one inactivated allele of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3) where skin lymphatic capillaries ...
We present a full field laser Doppler imaging instrument that enables real-time in vivo assessment of blood flow in dermal tissue and skin. The instrument monitors the blood perfusion in an area of about 50cm2 with 480 x 480 pixels per frame at a rate of 1 ...
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 ...
In non-autoclave processing of sandwich structures, the pressure level inside the honeycomb becomes a critical process parameter, which depends on the permeability to air of the upper skin. In this work, prepreg and adhesive permeabilities were determined ...
