As resistance increases against fungal antibiotics, antimicrobial peptides are receiving attention as possible replacements. The dermal glands of frogs secrete, among other things, antimicrobial peptides. As part of the innate immune system, stressors may affect the production of antimicrobial pepti

## Abstract We synthesized cationic random amphiphilic copolymers by radical copolymerization of methacrylate monomers with cationic or hydrophobic groups and evaluated their antimicrobial and hemolytic activities. The nature of the hydrophobic groups, and polymer composition and length were system
We studied the immunohistochemistry of the skin Of scleroderma patients to determine the differences (if any) between clinically "affected" and "nonaffected" areas. We examined paired skin biopsy samples from clinically involved forearm skin ("affected") and clinically uninvolved proximal skin ("non
## Abstract We tested the expression of genes coding receptors of a cutaneous serotoninergic/melatoninergic system in whole human skin and in normal and pathologic cultured skin cells. Evaluation of serotonin (5HT), melatonin (MT), and melatoninโrelated receptors (MRR) showed expression of the isof
## Abstract The tyrosinase activity of Himalayan mouse skin homogenates was measured over a range of temperatures using two sensitive radiometric assaysโnamely, (1) the measurement of ^14^Cโtyrosine incorporation into melanin, and (2) the measurement of ^3^HOH released as a byโproduct of ^3^Hโtyros
