Cyclodextrin Counteracts Coxsackievirus-Induced Cardiac Damage by Protecting Desmosome Integrity and Suppressing Proinflammatory Cytokine Expression [PDF]
Nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 (NFAT5), an osmosensitive transcription factor, has been shown to protect against coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)-induced myocarditis but is susceptible to cleavage by viral proteases.

A frameshift variation in the DSP gene causes a novel subtype of atypical epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma: Case report [PDF]
Palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) represents a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles. Epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (EPPK) is typically caused by variations in KRT9 or KRT1 genes.

Erythrokeratodermia-Cardiomyopathy Syndrome: Expanding the DSP Mutational Spectrum Beyond Proline Substitutions. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Erythrokeratodermia cardiomyopathy (EKC) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by generalized erythrokeratoderma and progressive dilated cardiomyopathy, caused by pathogenic variants in the SR6 domain of desmoplakin (DSP).
