In vitro measurements have been made of the permeability of frozen and reconstituted cattle skins to levamisole. Breeds used were Red Poll cross, Hereford/Shorthorn cross, Hereford/Santa Gatrudis cross (or Brahman), Friesian (or Friesian/Jersey cross), and Hereford cattle killed in early fall, early summer, or winter. Inter- and intrabreed differences in skin permeability were small, but skin permeability in summer and fall was appreciably greater than in winter. Increases in skin temperature also increased skin permeability. The solvent properties of the skin toward neutral molecules appeared to be similar to those of water, suggesting that skin is a relatively polar barrier.

Skin 101: Understanding the Fundamentals of Skin Barrier Physiology-Why is This Important for Clinicians?

J Clin Aesthet Dermatol

February 2025

Dr. Kircik is Medical Director at Skin Sciences, PLLC, in Louisville, Kentucky.

This article reviews epidermal barrier dysfunctions and more thoroughly discusses the stratum corneum (SC) permeability barrier, physiologic self-repair mechanisms in healthy skin, and the clinical and structural effects of an overstressed SC permeability barrier. Discussion includes epidermal barrier impairments induced by both exogenous exposures and endogenous factors such as specific dermatologic disorders. Due the plethora of skin care products on the market and the variability of their contents and vehicle formulations, this article addresses core concepts required to optimize skin care product selection, including for specific disease states such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, acne vulgaris, and rosacea.

Background: This research investigates the unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow, heat, and mass transfer of tangent hyperbolic ternary hybrid nanofluids over a permeable stretching sheet. The study considers three types of nanoparticles-aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃), copper (Cu), and titanium oxide (TiO₂)-dispersed in a base fluid of ethylene glycol (C₂H₆O₂). This ternary hybrid nanofluid (Al₂O₃-Cu-TiO₂/C₂H₆O₂) has potential applications in cooling systems, biomedical uses for targeted drug delivery and hyperthermia treatments, heat exchangers, and polymer processing techniques like extrusion and casting.

Development of Polymeric Nanoparticles Loaded with Extract: A Promising Approach for Enhanced Wound Healing.

Int J Mol Sci

February 2025

Laboratory of Natural Bioactive Substances and Biotechnology (LR24ES14), Faculty of Dental Medicine, University of Monastir, Av. Avicenne, Monastir 5019, Tunisia.

The use of nanoparticles improves the stability, solubility, and skin permeability of natural compounds in skincare products. Based on these advantages, this study aimed to incorporate the extract into polymeric nanoparticles to improve its topical skin delivery for wound healing purposes. The study involved the preparation of nanoparticles of PLGA and PLGA-PEG (PCE-PLGA-NPs and PCE-PLGA-PEG-NPs) using the solvent displacement method, physicochemical and biopharmaceutical characterization, tolerance studies by the HET-CAM assay and evaluation of skin integrity parameters, and in vitro efficacy via a scratch wound healing experiment.

Nano-drug delivery systems provide targeted solutions for addressing various drug delivery challenges, leveraging nanotechnology to enhance drug solubility and permeability. Liposomes, explored for several decades, face hurdles, especially in oral delivery. Bile-acid stabilized vesicles (bilosomes) are flexible lipid vesicles, composed of phospholipids or other surfactants, along with amphiphilic bile salts, and they show superior stability and pharmacokinetic behavior in comparison to conventional vesicular systems (liposomes and niosomes).

The microcellular injection molding (MuCell) process, which uses supercritical fluid (SCF) as a foaming agent, is considered an important green molding solution to reduce product weight, molding energy, and cycle time and to improve the foam quality. However, maximizing the foaming density while keeping size uniformity in the foaming cell requires further attention. In this study, HO and the SCF N were employed as cofoaming agents in the MuCell process of polypropylene (PP).
