research LEKTI: Netherton Syndrome and Atopic Dermatitis
LEKTI is crucial for skin barrier and immune function, affecting conditions like Netherton syndrome and atopic dermatitis.
research Integrated Meta-Analysis of Scalp Transcriptomics and Serum Proteomics Defines Alopecia Areata Subtypes and Core Disease Pathways
Early intervention in patch-type alopecia may prevent progression to more severe forms by targeting immune pathways and preserving keratin.
research Citrullination at the Inflammatory Skin Barrier
A potential treatment for atopic dermatitis could be to increase PADI1 expression to improve skin barrier function.
research Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell treatment alleviates symptoms in an atopic dermatitis-like mouse model
Stem cell treatment from umbilical cords reduces symptoms of atopic dermatitis and may help hair growth.
research The Role of EAAT4 in Epidermal Differentiation and Calcium Homeostasis during Aging
EAAT4 decreases with age, harming skin function and calcium balance.
research LB1081 Three-dimensional imaging of tight junction-network across multiple layers of human epidermis by array tomography using backscattered electron-mode scanning electron microscopy
The study found that tight junctions reach the top layer of the skin's stratum granulosum, not just the second top layer as previously thought.
