ROLE OF TAURINE ACCUMULATION IN KERATINOCYTE HYDRATION.

Epidermal keratinocytes are exposed to a low water concentration at the stratum corneum stratum granulosum interface. When epithelial tissues are osmotically perturbed, cellular protection and cell volume regulation is mediated by accumulation of organic osmolytes such as taurine. Previous studies... Read More
