Zusammenfassung:Lipid Producing Cells and Uses ThereofThis invention relates to the production of lipids which are required for the barrier function of the skin and eye, more particularly, to the identification of a particular type of cell in sebaceous-related glands and hair follicles which is responsible for the production of esterified very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) which play an integral role in this barrier function.
