Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells01:12

Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells

2.5K
The skin is divided into epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, the skin's outermost, middle, and inner layers. The human epidermal layer regularly undergoes renewal, where old, dead cells are replaced by new cells. Epidermal stem cells or EpiSCs divide and differentiate to restore the lost cells. For the renewal process, some EpiSCs continuously self-renew. In contrast, few others differentiate into transit-amplifying cells, which later form prickle or spinous cells, followed by granular...

Asymmetric Lipid Bilayer01:35

Asymmetric Lipid Bilayer

7.2K
Biological membranes show uneven distribution of different types of lipids in the inner and outer layers, resulting in transverse asymmetric membranes. The treatment of the erythrocyte membrane with the enzyme phospholipase confirmed the asymmetric nature of the lipid bilayer. The enzyme hydrolyzes lipids into fatty acids and hydrophilic groups. The phospholipase acts only on the outer layer of the membrane, while the inner layer remains intact. The phospholipase treatment resulted in 80%...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

4.0K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells01:19

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

2.7K
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...

Cell Motility through Blebbing01:16

Cell Motility through Blebbing

1.9K
Blebs are a type of membrane protrusion formed by the internal hydrostatic pressure of the cytoplasm. Blebs are observed in several cell types, including fibroblasts, immune cells, and single-celled organisms like the amoeba. The primary function of blebs is cell locomotion and apoptosis, but they are also found during necrosis and cell division. The life cycle of a bleb comprises an initiation phase followed by the expansion and retraction phases.

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing01:10

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing

887
The sequence of removing or doffing PPE starts with the gloves, as they are the most contaminated. Next is removal of the face shield or goggles, as they would interfere with removing other PPE. Then remove the gown, followed by the mask or respirator. Perform hand hygiene between steps if hands become contaminated and immediately after removing all PPE. Generally, the outside front and sleeves of the isolation gown, the goggles or the mask, the respirator, and the face shield are contaminated.

Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Materials Science
  • Triboelectricity

Background:

  • Fractoluminescence, the emission of light during fracture or separation of materials, is linked to surface charging.
  • This phenomenon has been implicated in diverse applications, from medical diagnostics to natural events like earthquake lightning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the charge patterns generated by separating surfaces.
  • To explore the underlying mechanisms responsible for these charge patterns.
  • To propose a new hypothesis explaining the observed charge distributions.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental observation of charge patterns on separating surfaces.
  • Analysis of charge distribution beyond points of contact.
  • Examination of the role of discharge ions in surface charging.

Main Results:

  • Discovery of distinct and previously unreported charge patterns on two separating surfaces originating from the same interface.
  • Evidence that charge patterns can extend significantly beyond the contact area.
  • Identification of a variety of new and unexplained charge patterns.

Conclusions:

  • The charge patterns generated during surface separation are complex and not uniform between the separating surfaces.
  • A novel hypothesis suggests that migration of polar or non-polar discharge ions onto surfaces explains observed charge patterns.
  • Surface potential and environmental discharge ions are critical factors determining the final charge distribution.
