• production were monitored on cells and in whole tissue samples. The combination of technologies and the joint discussion of results enabled us to look at nanoparticle–skin interactions and the biological relevance of our findings from different angles. Keywords: hair follicle; nanodermatology; nanoparticle

• scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) studies on human skin, which allowed us to visualize silica-shell/gold-core particles in the size range of 94–298 nm on superficial layers of the stratum corneum and in hair follicle openings at the single particle level (Figure 1c, see [4] for further details

• conveniently identified not only in murine hair follicle epithelium [12], but also in dendritic cells of the skin. In fact, our earlier studies and results of others suggest that even low penetration rates of particle-bound antigens may result in cellular uptake by cutaneous antigen-presenting cells and

• epidermis, hair-follicle density, epidermal turnover kinetics, lipid composition and the biophysical properties of the lipids [27][28], and similar permeability, i.e., the fluxes through the skin and concentrations in the skin are of the same order of magnitude for both tissues [25][26].
