X-ray diffraction reveals the structural organisation of the intercorneocyte lipids in the stratum corneum X-ray microdiffraction (µXRD) unveils the structural organization of the intercorneocyte lipids in the stratum corneum : Lamellar stacking (SAXS) => layer thickness and organization quality Crystalline and fluid structures inside the lipid layers (WAXS) => hexagonal/orthorhombic/amorphous
Novitom has developed an original test based on the analysis of the quality of the organisation of collagen fibres. Collagen, which is the main constituent of the dermis, largely determines its flexibility during aging. Two techniques are combined: Atomic force microscopy (AFM) provides spectacular images of the fibres in varying
Congratulations to our colleague Danilo Rosa Nunes, PhD in Pharmaceutical Science! He won thes Young Researcher Award following the competition organised as part of the Lipids and Cosmetics 2022 conference. The awarded work is described in a poster: ”Quantitative structural analysis of Human Stratum Corneum lamellar structure by Computational Simulation of
