Epidermis

There was a scientific breakthrough in 2006 where scientists had discovered a way to genetically reprogram mouse mature cells to convert them into a cell that has embryonic stem cell properties and these cells were named ‘induced pluripotent stem cells’ although it is still undetermined whether this new stem cell and embryonic stem cells are critically different. Human induced pluripotent stem cells were developed a year later in 2007. Scientists are optimistic about these stem cells and they…

everything in their lives. What would Thoreau say? As a consequence of Black Friday people again seem to lose track of what is important amidst a sale sign. (Henry David Thoreau 20), “ Our outside and often thin and fanciful clothes are our epidermis, or false skin, which partakes not of our life, and may be stripped off here and there without fatal injury; our thicker garments, constantly worn, are our cellular integument, or…

provided to the body. Essential fatty acids cannot be produced naturally by your own body system and thus, can only be replenished with consumption of food. Without it, the skin cells will lose moisture and become weak. The top layer of your skin, the epidermis, will also be compromised and as such patches of eczema might surface. Not only will your skin be affected negatively, so will your hair. Hair loss will be evident throughout your juice fasting journey. This is because the absence of…

what makes us all so unique. People come in various different shades of color and the reason behind it is melanin. Melanin is the pigment that gives humans the different shades of color for their hair, skin and eyes. Melanocytes is located in the epidermis layer, which is why it is important that we have protection. Melanin is what protects our skin from the effects that one may encounter from the sun. That is why caucasians are more immune to skin cancer because they do not produce enough…

Squamous Cell Carcinoma Squamous cell carcinoma is a common form of skin cancer. It begins in the squamous cells in the outer layer of the skin (epidermis). It occurs most often in parts of the body that are frequently exposed to the sun, such as the face, lips, neck, arms, legs, and hands. However, this condition can occur anywhere on the body, including the inside of the mouth, sites of long-term (chronic) scarring, and the anus. If treated soon enough, squamous cell carcinoma rarely spreads…

Red scabs dot the surface of my skin. Alongside the dried blood, small bumps on the epidermis rise and, given any hint of an irritant, will break into a full rash. At a closer look, you can distinguish the scratch marks where nails dug in- trying to claw out the problem, but inflicting harm instead. Gashes that end in bloody frustration, like long exclamation marks that finish with a silent scream. The cycle of frequent bouts of frenzied scratching end in stinging pain and open lesions.…

(2015). Green ramie stem was decorticated to remove outer bark/epidermis and bast from inner woody core. Two bacterial strains of C. felsineum were selected as their high pectinolytic activity. The cultured bacteria was transferred into 17 L capacity jar and anaerogen was placed to create anaerobiosis. The jar was then…

replacing bone and mimicking their structure for, various applications. When looking at biological materials, to determine their effectiveness as a scaffold or sufficient structure for various other uses, often they are tested for their resistance to fracture. This is referred to as fracture propagation. Bamboo Bamboo is well known for its sufficient mechanical properties, and great flexibility. It also has great fracture toughness. Bamboo is considered to be a bio composite, meaning it…

Rotary Brush The Electrical rotary brush cleansing can be used either as part of a facial massage routine or as part of a facial treatment. The machine can be used at different speeds depending on skin type and condition. There are a number of brush sizes and types: - • Firm brush has hard bristles when used with talc or cream to help the brush slide across the skin and can be used on male skin as part of massage routine. • Softer brush or sponge is for facials and using the appropriate…

A pathogen causes a disease only if it can (1) gain entry, either by penetrating the surface of the skin or by entering through some other portal of entry; (2) attach itself to a host cell and (3) evade the body’s defense mechanisms long enough to produce harmful changes. In this research paper, I will discuss the differences between innate and adaptive immunity along with the chemical and physical factors that are involve in these immunities. It is easy to cluster the structures, cells, and…
