Exploring the many beneficial biological applications of copper, Copper and the Skin:
- collects the latest research on the diffusivity and interaction of copper with skin
- discusses skin penetration by copper compounds and the mechanisms of copper in contact with the skin
- studies the anti-inflammatory effects of copper on arthritis, as well as the potential of copper in transdermal therapies with copper chelates
- explores molecular mechanisms regulating copper concentrations in normal and diseased cells
- covers the metallurgy of copper and copper alloys
- reviews the history of copper in medicine
Copper and the Skin covers general principles of percutaneous penetration to clarify the mechanisms controlling anti-inflammatory activity, dermal sensitivity, and the absorption of copper compounds in the human body and the effects of these functions on healthy skin and human health.
