Investigation of stratum corneum lipid model membranes with free fatty acid composition by neutron diffraction
The outermost epidermal layer, the stratum corneum (SC), is the main skin barrier. Studies of SC model systems enable characterization of the influence of individual lipids on the organization of the SC lipid ...

Structural organization of the phospholipid component of Streptomyces hygroscopicus cell membranes as determined from neutron diffraction data
The nanoparameters of an actinobacterial membrane have been estimated by neutron diffraction on multilamellar lipid membranes. The lamellar repeat distance in a partly hydrated membrane prepared with the phosp...

Fatty acid interdigitation in stratum corneum model membranes: a neutron diffraction study
The influence of the chain length of the free fatty acid (FFA) in a stratum corneum (SC) lipid model membrane composed of N-(α-hydroxyoctadecanoyl)-phytosphingosine (CER [AP]), cholesterol (Ch), FFA and cholester...

New insights into the structure and hydration of a stratum corneum lipid model membrane by neutron diffraction
The structure and hydration of a stratum corneum (SC) lipid model membrane composed of N-(α-hydroxyoctadecanoyl)-phytosphingosine (CER6)/cholesterol (Ch)/palmitic acid (PA)/cholesterol sulfate (ChS) were characte...

A structural study of lamellar phases formed by nucleoside-functionalized lipids
We report a neutron-scattering investigation of lamellar phases formed by novel phospholipids bearing nucleosides at the polar-head-group region. These nucleolipids can interact through stacking and H-bond int...

The so-called Hoffman's lymphangitis of the penis: Is it a lymphangitis or a phlebitis?
Hoffman's plastic lymphangitis of the penis is a benign, uncommon entity whose aetiology is still unknown. Microscopically there is a fibrous thickening of the involved lymph vessels but the primary localizati...
