Contact-dependent Signaling01:19

Contact-dependent Signaling

46.9K
Contact-dependent signaling, as the name suggests, requires that communicating cells be in direct contact with each other. This is achieved either through receptor-ligand interactions or by specialized cytoplasmic channels that allow the flow of small molecules between cells. In animal cells, channels called gap junctions facilitate contact-dependent signaling in certain tissues, whereas, plasmodesmata perform a similar function in plants.

In animal cells, gap junctions are formed...

Plant Hormones01:56

Plant Hormones

27.5K
Plant hormones—or phytohormones—are chemical molecules that modulate one or more physiological processes of a plant. In animals, hormones are often produced in specific glands and circulated via the circulatory system. However, plants lack hormone-producing glands.

Contact Angle01:13

Contact Angle

18.8K
When a solid is dipped inside a liquid, the liquid surface becomes curved near the contact. For some solid–liquid interfaces, the liquid is pulled up along the solid, while for others, the liquid surface is convex or depressed near the solid surface. This phenomenon can be explained using the concept of cohesive and adhesive forces.
The adhesive force is the molecular force between molecules of different materials, that is, between the molecules of the solid and the liquid. The cohesive...

Plant Tissue Culture

40.6K
Plant tissue culture is widely used in both primary and applied science. Applications range from plant development studies to functional gene studies, crop improvement, commercial micropropagation, virus elimination, and conservation of rare species.

Tonicity in Plants00:53

Tonicity in Plants

59.7K
Tonicity describes the capacity of a cell to lose or gain water. It depends on the quantity of solute that does not penetrate the membrane. Tonicity delimits the magnitude and direction of osmosis and results in three possible scenarios that alter the volume of a cell: hypertonicity, hypotonicity, and isotonicity. Due to differences in structure and physiology, tonicity of plant cells is different from that of animal cells in some scenarios.

Plant Cell Wall02:43

Plant Cell Wall

60.2K
The plant cell wall gives plant cells shape, support, and protection. As a cell matures, its cell wall specializes according to the cell type. For example, the parenchyma cells of leaves possess only a thin, primary cell wall.

Summary

Plant compounds offer skin benefits but can cause contact dermatitis. Awareness and patch testing are crucial for diagnosing plant-induced skin reactions.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunology
  • Phytochemistry

Background:

  • Plant compounds are widely recognized for their therapeutic effects on skin disorders.
  • However, direct skin contact with plants can trigger adverse reactions, including various forms of contact dermatitis.
  • The natural origin of plant-based products often leads to a misconception of them being universally safe, increasing their use in remedies and cosmetics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical presentations of plant-induced contact dermatitis.
  • To highlight recent advancements in understanding and diagnosing plant contact dermatitis.
  • To emphasize the need for increased awareness among the public and clinicians regarding plant-related skin reactions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on recent publications related to plant contact dermatitis.
  • Discussion of clinical forms: photoinduced, irritative, and allergic contact dermatitis.
  • Examination of updated recommendations for diagnostic testing and immunological mechanisms.

Main Results:

  • Recent studies provide updated recommendations for patch testing protocols for plant contact dermatitis.
  • Advances have been made in elucidating the immunological pathways involved in plant-induced allergic contact dermatitis.
  • Case reports illustrate diverse clinical presentations and outcomes of plant contact dermatitis.

Conclusions:

  • Plant compounds, despite their benefits, pose a risk of contact dermatitis.
  • Public and clinical awareness regarding the potential for plant-induced skin reactions is essential.
  • Inclusion of plant exposure history in patch testing is recommended for suspected cases.
