Orchestrated control of filaggrin-actin scaffolds underpins cornification. [PDF]
Epidermal stratification critically depends on keratinocyte differentiation and programmed death by cornification, leading to formation of a protective skin barrier.

Autoimmunity and Periodontitis
In a microbe‐driven inflammatory environment, peptidyl‐arginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes from neutrophils and Porphyromonas gingivalis citrullinate both microbial and self‐antigens. B cell presentation of citrullinated or self‐mimicking epitopes activates T cells that assist B cells in antibody isotype switching, affinity maturation, epitope spreading ...

The microbiome in patients with atopic dermatitis. [PDF]
As an interface with the environment, the skin is a complex ecosystem colonized by many microorganisms that coexist in an established balance. The cutaneous microbiome inhibits colonization with pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus, and is a crucial ...

Rheumatoid arthritis specific anti-Sa antibodies target citrullinated vimentin [PDF]
Antibodies directed to the Sa antigen are highly specific for rheumatoid arthritis ( RA) and can be detected in approximately 40% of RA sera. The antigen, a doublet of protein bands of about 50 kDa, is present in placenta and in RA synovial tissue ...

ABSTRACT Background/Objective Growing evidence highlights the role of physiological lipids, namely ceramides, cholesterol, and free fatty acids, in maintaining skin barrier function and preventing atopic dermatitis (AD). Current evidence on the efficacy, safety, and clinical relevance of stratum corneum (SC) lipid‐based therapies to prevent AD and ...

Influence of Th2 Cytokines on the Cornified Envelope, Tight Junction Proteins, and β-Defensins in Filaggrin-Deficient Skin Equivalents [PDF]
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin condition with complex etiology. It is characterized by skin barrier defects and T helper type 2 (Th2)-polarized inflammation. Although mutations in the filaggrin gene are known to be prominent genetic risk factors for the development of atopic dermatitis, the interdependency between these and an altered cytokine ...

The State of Prevention of Atopic Dermatitis: An Updated Review
ABSTRACT Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that has a high worldwide prevalence and carries substantial psychosocial and financial burden. As such, the prevention of AD is an important area of research. In this review, we provide an update synthesizing relevant clinical trials published from January 2020 through July 2025 ...

HNRNPK maintains epidermal progenitor function through transcription of proliferation genes and degrading differentiation promoting mRNAs. [PDF]
Maintenance of high-turnover tissues such as the epidermis requires a balance between stem cell proliferation and differentiation. The molecular mechanisms governing this process are an area of investigation.

STAT6 and PARP Family Members in the Development of T Cell-dependent Allergic Inflammation [PDF]
Allergic inflammation requires the orchestration of altered gene expression in the target tissue and in the infiltrating immune cells. The transcription factor STAT6 is critical in activating cytokine gene expression and cytokine signaling both in the ...

Curcumin Nanoformulations for Dermatological Applications: From Nutraceuticals to Nanocarriers
Nanotechnology‐based delivery platforms enhance the cutaneous administration of curcumin. Loading free curcumin into polymeric micelles, metal‐based nanoparticles, nanogels/hydrogels, liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, or nanoemulsions/nanocrystals helps address its low solubility, poor stability and limited skin permeation. As a result, these systems
