Role of Antimicrobial Peptides in the Pathogenesis of Atopic Dermatitis
The Journal of Dermatology, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 372-379, March 2026.ABSTRACT Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by barrier dysfunction, immune dysregulation, and microbial dysbiosis. Recent studies have highlighted the multifaceted roles of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) both as innate defenders against microbial invasion and as regulators of immune responses and skin barrier ...

Molecular basis for heat desensitization of TRPV1 ion channels. [PDF]
, 2019 The transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) ion channel is a prototypical molecular sensor for noxious heat in mammals. Its role in sustained heat response remains poorly understood, because rapid heat-induced desensitization (Dh) follows ...

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 3, 15 February 2026.The nociceptive properties of differentiated human HD10.6 cells were characterized by multiple approaches (A). Peripheral sensitization was induced within HD10.6 cells in response to an inflammatory cocktail (B), modeling nociceptors in a chronic pain state.

Structural Basis of the Selective Block of Kv1.2 by Maurotoxin from Computer Simulations
, 2015 The 34-residue polypeptide maurotoxin (MTx) isolated from scorpion venoms selectively inhibits the current of the voltage-gated potassium channel Kv1.2 by occluding the ion conduction pathway. Here using molecular dynamics simulation as a docking method,

Transcriptome annotation and characterization of novel toxins in six scorpion species
BMC Genomics, 2019 Background Venom has evolved in parallel in multiple animals for the purpose of self-defense, prey capture or both. These venoms typically consist of highly complex mixtures of toxins: diverse bioactive peptides and/or proteins each with a specific ...
