Integrated Clinical Trial and Molecular Profiling Reveals Immune Drivers of Chronic Hand Eczema
This study performed an unbiased molecular profiling of CHE patients across diverse etiologies to identify shared pathogenic drivers and evaluate the impact of IL‐4Rα blockade via dupilumab over 16 weeks. CHE shows a mixed immune signature involving type 1, 2, and 3 pathways with features of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.

Interaction between extracellular matrix molecules and microbial pathogens: evidence for the missing link in autoimmunity with rheumatoid arthritis as a disease model. [PDF]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation followed by tissue rebuilding or fibrosis. A failure by the body to regulate inflammation effectively is one of the hallmarks of RA.

The role of interleukin-24 in atopic dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is characterized by skin barrier disruption, type 2 immune dysregulation, chronic pruritus, and abnormal colonization by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Tapinarof, an aryl hydrocarbon receptor modulator, has been demonstrated to

Keratinocyte Priming by Staphylococcus aureus Reduces HSV‐1 Susceptibility
ADEH+ patients have a reduced microbial diversity with increased S. aureus and S. epidermidis colonization compared to ADEH− and healthy controls. Heat‐killed S. aureus reduced HSV‐1 susceptibility and release of infectious progeny virus in a keratinocyte in vitro model. Heat‐killed S.

Sphingosylphosphorylcholine down-regulates filaggrin gene transcription through NOX5-based NADPH oxidase and cyclooxygenase-2 in human keratinocytes [PDF]
Sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC) mediates various inflammatory and behavioral responses in atopic dermatitis. Recent studies have shown that dysfunction of the epidermal permeability barrier itself plays a primary role in the etiology of atopic ...

ABSTRACT The skin is far from a passive shield; it functions as a dynamic “living barrier” whose structural and immunological integrity is paramount in preventing atopic dermatitis (AD) and the subsequent progression of the atopic march toward food allergy (FA).

Expression of Skin Barrier Protein Filaggrin in Skin Diseases without Atopic Dermatitis
The epidermis represents an essential barrier versus a broad range of exogenous stimuli. To form a functional epidermis, keratinocytes express filaggrin which plays a vital role in atopic dermatitis. However the relationship between filaggrin and other skin diseases remains unknown.

Difamilast, a topical phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor, has been shown to be effective for treating atopic dermatitis (AD), but the molecular mechanism involved is unclear. Since skin barrier dysfunction including reduced expression of filaggrin (FLG) and loricrin (LOR) contributes to AD development, difamilast treatment may be able to improve this

Ichthyosis Vulgaris: Identification of a Defect in Synthesis of Filaggrin Correlated with an Absence of Keratohyaline Granules [PDF]
Ichthyosis vulgaris is an autosomal dominant disorder of keratinization characterized histologically by absent or reduced keratohyaline granules in the epidermis and mild hyperkeratosis. The basic defect in ichthyosis vulgaris is unknown.

Genetic Susceptibility Factors for Eczema [PDF]
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is one of the most common chronic inflammatory skin diseases in infants and children with prevalence rates of up to 20%. The disease frequently co-occurs with other atopic disorders such as asthma and rhinitis and is often ...
