European S2k guidelines on management of autoimmune blistering diseases in children and adolescents
Autoimmune blistering disorders (AIBDs) in children are rare, challenging to diagnose and treat and often require immunosuppressants. Until now, no paediatric care guidelines existed. The EADV Task Force for AIBDs has developed the consensus‐based recommendations, enabling physicians to adopt a uniform, tailored treatment strategy to improve outcomes ...

Background and Purpose Bruton tyrosine kinase (Btk) is essential for B cell function. Its role in myeloid cells is less understood. Greater insights into Btk significance in myeloid cells are needed to evaluate its potential as a therapeutic target during the effector phase of antibody‐induced autoimmune diseases, where inhibiting autoantibody ...

A Multifaceted Holistic Review of the Literature on Scar Dermatoses
ABSTRACT Many cutaneous diseases originate or manifest in scars. Scars are areas of compromised skin, which renders them a vulnerable cutaneous district for diseases to develop. The pathophysiology explaining why some dermatoses grow in scars is not yet thoroughly explored. The present study reviews the present literature on scar dermatoses.

A rare occurrence of epidermolysis bullosa acquisita in a patient with retroviral disease
Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita is a chronic subepidermal blistering disease associated with autoimmunity to type-VII collagen within anchoring fibrils located at the dermo-epidermal junction. This entity is rarely reported from India.

Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita
The article describes present-day information on the pathogenesis, clinical picture, treatment and differential diagnostics of epidermolysis bullosa acquisita, an autoimmune skin disease caused by the production of anti-Type VII collagen autoantibodies and manifested mainly by subepidermal blisters and erosions.

ABSTRACT Objectives Direct immunofluorescence (DIF) is the gold standard for diagnosing subepidermal blistering diseases (SBDs). However, DIF requires specialized expertise; therefore, alternative immunological methods such as enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) are worth exploring. The aim of this review was to evaluate the diagnostic agreement

Hemidesmosome Mutations Contribute to the Onset and Severity of Acquired Autoimmune Bullous Diseases
This study examined hemidesmosome assembly‐related genes in pemphigoid diseases, revealing variants linked to disease onset and severity. Functional analyses, including Caenorhabditis elegans models, Ker‐CT transcriptomics, human proteomics, etc., demonstrated that ITGA6 mutations destabilize hemidesmosomes, disrupt dermal–epidermal adhesion, and ...
