The Henna pigment Lawsone activates the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor and impacts skin homeostasis
As a first host barrier, the skin is constantly exposed to environmental insults that perturb its integrity. Tight regulation of skin homeostasis is largely controlled by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). Here, we demonstrate that Henna and its major pigment, the naphthoquinone Lawsone activate A...
