[78] [79] This feature confines far-UVC exposure to the superficial layers of tissue, such as the outer layer of dead skin (the stratum corneum) and the tear film and surface cells of the cornea. [ 22 ] [ 80 ] [ 81 ] [ 82 ] As these tissues do not contain replicating cells, damage to them poses less carcinogenic risk.
Cell engineering is the purposeful process of adding, deleting, or modifying genetic sequences in living cells to achieve biological engineering goals such as altering cell production, changing cell growth and proliferation requirements, adding or removing cell functions, and many more.
The location of 'far-UVC' radiation (200-235 nm) in the electromagnetic spectrum. Far-UVC is a type of ultraviolet germicidal irradiation being studied and commercially developed for its combination of pathogen inactivation properties and reduced negative effects on human health when used within exposure guidelines.
Tissue clearing refers to a group of chemical techniques used to turn tissues transparent. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] By turning tissues transparent to certain wavelengths of light, it allows one to gain optical access to a tissue. [ 1 ]
[53] [54] In addition, UV radiation, in particular UVB radiation, has been shown to induce cell cycle arrest in keratinocytes, the most common type of skin cell. [55] As such, sunlight therapy can be a candidate for treatment of conditions such as psoriasis and exfoliative cheilitis , conditions in which skin cells divide more rapidly than ...
Kidney and nerve tissue cells can form memories much like brain cells, one new study has found. Another recent study says that memories of obesity stored in fat tissue may be partly responsible ...
Stable cell-cell interactions are required for cell adhesion within a tissue and controlling the shape and function of cells. [1] These stable interactions involve cell junctions which are multiprotein complexes that provide contact between neighboring cells. Cell junctions allow for the preservation and proper functioning of epithelial cell ...
