Abstrakt: In a new method described here by the authors, fluorescence emitted from samples and captured by image analysis is used to quantify the number of lipids present in the cornified cell envelope. This in vivo approach is fast and noninvasive and could be used to screen molecules for potential moisturizing and restructuring effects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
