ABSTRACT Mucosal surfaces are sites of highly dynamic interactions among epithelial and immune cells, environmental exposures, particularly dietary inputs, and the diverse microbial communities and their metabolites. These elements continually influence each other to maintain homeostasis and ensure appropriate immune discrimination between pathogens ...

Shotgun Metagenomics Reveals Skin Microbiome Composition and Function in Infant Atopic Disease
Deep shotgun metagenomics profiled > 1000 infant skin swabs in the VITALITY cohort. Distinct skin microbiome signatures separated AD alone from AD with allergic co‐occurrence. Early Staphylococcus enrichment preceded later AD with allergic co‐occurrence. FLG mutations and strain‐level analyses revealed host and microbial features linked to AD.

Physical Characteristics of a Citrullinated Pro-Filaggrin Epitope Recognized by Anti-Citrullinated Protein Antibodies in Rheumatoid Arthritis Sera [PDF]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease of complex etiology. A characteristic feature of a subset of RA is the presence of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA), which correlate with a progressive disease course. In this study, we employed streptavidin capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to analyze ACPA reactivity. Using the pro-

IL-17 downregulates filaggrin and affects keratinocyte expression of genes associated with cellular adhesion. [PDF]
Atopic eczema and psoriasis are common skin diseases. While it is well established that the pathogenesis of these diseases varies, both are characterized by impairment in epidermal barrier function and abnormal IL-17 expression in the skin and peripheral

[Filaggrin gene mutations are frequent and increase the risk of skin disease] [PDF]
Filaggrin proteins are important for the epidermal differentiation and skin barrier function. About 10% of Europeans carry loss-of-function mutations within the filaggrin gene complex. Mutations are strongly associated with ichthyosis vulgaris and atopic

Envoplakin, a novel precursor of the cornified envelope that has homology to desmoplakin [PDF]
The cornified envelope is a layer of transglutaminase cross-linked protein that is deposited under the plasma membrane of keratinocytes in the outermost layers of the epidermis.

Background: House dust mite (HDM) allergens can induce or exacerbate allergic inflammation, including atopic dermatitis (AD). Substances that damage the epithelial barrier can trigger or worsen AD.

Summary Near‐infrared non‐ablative fractional lasers (NAFL) are established for skin rejuvenation and scar treatment and have attracted interest for their expanding therapeutic potential. This scoping review aims to revisit and reposition NAFL within a fluence‐dependent continuum of tissue modulation, based on evidence from 27 studies of lasers ...

Genes of the S100 fused-type protein (SFTP) family are clustered within the epidermal differentiation complex and encode essential components that maintain epithelial homeostasis and barrier functions. Recent genetic studies have shown that mutations within the gene encoding the SFTP filaggrin cause ichthyosis vulgaris and are major predisposing ...
