Basic Emollients for Xerosis Cutis in Atopic Dermatitis: A Review of Clinical Studies
ABSTRACT Xerosis cutis (dry skin) is a common and burdensome symptom of atopic dermatitis (AD). Topical emollients restore skin hydration and barrier function through the physicochemical properties of their nonactive constituents (e.g., glycerol, urea, lactic acid, liquid paraffin, petrolatum) and represent the mainstay of basic therapy for xerosis ...

Successful outcome of lamellar ichthyosis with oral retinoid therapy: A series of six cases
Lamellar ichthyosis (LI) is a rare skin disorder inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. Affected babies are born in a collodion membrane that sheds gradually revealing extensive scaling of the skin.

LEKTI proteolytic processing in human primary keratinocytes, tissue distribution and defective expression in Netherton syndrome [PDF]
SPINK5, encoding the putative multi-domain serine protease inhibitor LEKTI, was recently identified as the defective gene in the severe autosomal recessive ichthyosiform skin condition, Netherton syndrome (NS). Using monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies,

Mutations in TGM6 induce the unfolded protein response in SCA35 [PDF]
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 35 (SCA35) is a rare autosomal-dominant neurodegenerative disease caused by mutations in the TGM6 gene, which codes for transglutaminase 6 (TG6). Mutations in TG6 induce cerebellar degeneration by an unknown mechanism.

Abnormal Lamellar Granules in Harlequin Ichthyosis
Lamellar granules are specialized lipid-rich organelles present in epidermal granular cells. They fuse with the apical cell surface and discharge their contents into the intercellular space forming lamellar sheets. It was previously shown by electron microscopy that lamellar granules in biopsies of infants affected with harlequin ichthyosis are either ...
