Acid ceramidase overactivity drives ceramide loss, leading to atopic dry skin and Th2‐skewed immune polarization

The Journal of Pathology, Volume 269, Issue 2, Page 232-247, June 2026.
Abstract Ceramide deficiency in the stratum corneum (SC) is a key etiological factor in atopic dermatitis (AD). To clarify the direct role of SC ceramide depletion in impairing SC barrier and water‐holding functions and in initiating AD‐like skin symptoms and disease‐specific molecular alterations, we generated Tg mice overexpressing a mutant form of ...

Implementation of an Inherited Diseases Gene Panel to Accelerate Precision Medicine in the South African Public Healthcare System

Molecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
We developed and implemented a 500‐gene panel for phenotype‐driven genetic testing of Mendelian disorders in South Africa's public healthcare system, achieving a 46% diagnostic yield. This platform supports scalable, cost‐effective rare disease diagnosis and lays the foundation for broader genetic services in resource‐limited settings.

Stratum Corneum Ceramide Abnormalities in Atopic Dermatitis: Pathophysiology and Implications for Disease Management

The Journal of Dermatology, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 380-387, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The stratum corneum, as the outermost layer of the skin, functions as a critical barrier that maintains cutaneous hydration and systemic homeostasis. Among its structural lipids, ceramides constitute the most abundant and diverse component. These molecules are essential for the formation of lamellar structures that secure barrier integrity ...
