Role of genetic aspect in pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis [PDF]
The pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD) is a very complicated process that involves an intricate array of molecules. Nowadays it is generally accepted that cytokines play an important role in the progression of the clinical presentation of atopic ...

Recombinant Filaggrin Is Internalized and Processed to Correct Filaggrin Deficiency [PDF]
This study was designed to engineer a functional filaggrin (FLG) monomer linked to a cell-penetrating peptide (RMR) and to test the ability of this peptide to penetrate epidermal tissue as a therapeutic strategy for genetically determined atopic dermatitis (AD). A single repeat of the murine filaggrin gene (Flg) was covalently linked to a RMR motif and

A mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1/2 (mTORC1)/V-Akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 1 (AKT1)/cathepsin H axis controls filaggrin expression and processing in skin, a novel mechanism for skin barrier disruption in patients with atopic dermatitis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Filaggrin, encoded by the FLG gene, is an important component of the skin’s barrier to the external environment and genetic defects in FLG strongly associate with Atopic Dermatitis (AD).

Filaggrin Defect at Atopic Dermatitis: Modern Treatment Options
Atopic dermatitis is a common chronic skin disease, its pathogenesis is associated with congenital or acquired deficiency of filaggrin protein. In recent years, extensive evidence on the causes of filaggrin deficiency has been obtained. The structure and

The Pathogenesis of Atopic Dermatitis: The Role of Filaggrin
Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a multifactorial skin disease with waxing and waning inflammatory process. In recent years, genetic mutations namely the null mutations of the filaggrin gene (FLG) has been the focus in AD risk factors investigations.

Comparative immune responses against Psoroptes ovis in two cattle breeds with different susceptibility to mange [PDF]
The sheep scab mite, Psoroptes ovis, is a major problem in the beef cattle industry, especially in Belgian Blue (BB) cattle. This breed is naturally more predisposed to psoroptic mange but reasons for this high susceptibility remain unknown.
