AVOCADO PHYTOSTEROLS DECREASE UVB-INDUCED PRO-INFLAMMATORY MEDIATORS.

Exposure of skin to UVB radiation can cause the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and prostanoids. Changes in the production of these mediators in the skin can decrease or increase the potentially damaging effects of UVB irradiation. In this series of... Read More

IL-1-RELATED CYTOKINE RESPONSES OF NONIMMUNE SKIN CELLS SUBJECTED TO CEES EXPOSURE WITH AND WITHOUT POTENTIAL VESICANT ANTAGONISTS.

Sulfur mustard provokes an acute inflammatory response in skin. To determine if keratinocytes regulate this response and whether three potential vesicant antagonists can counteract adverse changes, specimens of EpiDerm™ (MatTek Corp., Ashland, MA), a human skin model of differentiating keratinocytes,...
