Vernix caseosa is a naturally occurring substance coating the skin of newborn humans. Structurally, vernix contains fetal corneocytes embedded in a hydrophobic lipid matrix. Despite a relatively high water content approximating 80.7%, vernix exhibits slow water release. In this study, we quantified

The actin cytoskeleton is an intracellular structure, which is involved in the onset and control of cell shape and function. In order for this relevant network to control its own and thus cell volume, specific interactions between the actin cytoskeleton and ion channel regulation controlling intrace
