Factors associated with non-pathogenic antibodies against desmoglein-3 in pemphigus foliaceus [PDF]
Anais Brasileiros de DermatologiaBackground Anti-desmoglein (Dsg)1 is produced in pemphigus foliaceus (PF), affecting exclusively the skin. Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) shows the production of anti-Dsg3 in the mucosal form, and anti-Dsg1 and 3 in the mucocutaneous form.

Limbal stem cell transplantation: clinical results, limits, and perspectives [PDF]
, 2018 Limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) is a clinical condition characterized by damage of cornea limbal stem cells, which results in an impairment of corneal epithelium turnover and in an invasion of the cornea by the conjunctival epithelium.

Reduced Dietary Protein Induces Changes in the Dental Proteome
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.Low dietary protein (10%) from normal (20%) does change protein expression in tooth proteome and alter developmental pathways. Among the significant protein expressions changes are actin‐based myosins, tooth, and bone development proteins. Perplexingly tooth size is not altered, suggesting more nuanced phenotypic response to low dietary protein in ...
