Immunomodulation of Skin Cytokine Secretion by House Dust Mite Extracts [PDF]

International Archives of Allergy and Immunology, 2011
<i>Background:</i> Skin contact with house dust mites may contribute to atopic dermatitis and other skin diseases. We sought to determine if molecules from house dust mites could influence the release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines from epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts grown in a human skin equivalent (HSE) model.

House dust mites activate nociceptor-mast cell clusters to drive type 2 skin inflammation

Nature Immunology, 2019
Allergic skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, are clinically characterized by severe itching and type 2 immunity-associated hypersensitivity to widely distributed allergens, including those derived from house dust mites (HDMs).

Scabies Mites Alter the Skin Microbiome and Promote Growth of Opportunistic Pathogens in a Porcine Model

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
Background The resident skin microbiota plays an important role in restricting pathogenic bacteria, thereby protecting the host. Scabies mites (Sarcoptes scabiei) are thought to promote bacterial infections by breaching the skin barrier and excreting ...
