Lipids and Skin Health is the first effort to summarize and review
the studies, ideas, and research that link lipid metabolism to the
largest organ of our body, the skin. The book covers the
fundamental biology of the skin, and the major involvement of the
transcriptional factors that govern lipid synthesis and the
bioactive lipids in this intriguing organ. All layers of skin are
presented, as well as their relevant lipids from the epidermis to
dermis and even to the hypodermis. The important and unique-to-skin
biological pathways are laid out, with a special focus on the
various models that demonstrate the essential role of lipid
synthesis in skin pathophysiology. The use of lipids in the
cosmetic industry is emphasized, and last but not least the
involvement of lipids in the clinical setting is also
discussed. This book will appeal to healthcare
professionals, researchers and dermatology professionals, and will
help them to brainstorm new products and opportunities that will
target the emerging importance of lipid metabolism in skin for
acne, aging, and healthy skin. Apostolos Pappas, Ph.D., is a
professional member of the Institute of Food Technology. He started
his professional career as a research biochemist in the Skin
Research Center of Johnson & Johnson and later served as a
group leader at Munich Biotech, where he worked on cancer research.
Thereafter he returned to Johnson & Johnson, where he is
currently a Research Manager and Fellow focusing on lipid
metabolism research. He has authored numerous scientific
publications, patent applications, and books.
