Certain natural and synthetic compounds may help treat inflammatory skin diseases by targeting a specific signaling pathway.
research Update on the use of topical calcineurin inhibitors in cutaneous lupus erythematosus
Topical calcineurin inhibitors, especially 0.1% tacrolimus ointment, are effective and well-tolerated for treating cutaneous lupus erythematosus but require more research for standard treatment guidelines.
research T-cell “induced-self” MHC class I/peptide complexes may enable “de novo” tolerance induction to neo-antigens occurring outside of the thymus
Hair follicles may help teach the immune system to tolerate new self-antigens, but this can sometimes cause hair loss.
research Cutaneous Manifestations in COVID-19: Report on 31 Cases from Five Countries
Some COVID-19 patients have different skin problems, which might be the only sign of the virus or related to other health issues.
research Structure and Function of the Skin
The skin has multiple layers and cells, serves as a protective barrier, helps regulate temperature, enables sensation, affects appearance, and is involved in vitamin D synthesis.
