research Urticaria Neonatorum: Accumulation of tryptase‐expressing mast cells in the skin lesions of newborns with Erythema Toxicum
Newborns with the common rash Erythema Toxicum have many active mast cells in their skin, but these cells don't produce the LL-37 peptide.
research Epitestosterone—an endogenous antiandrogen?
Epitestosterone may act as a weak antiandrogen and can inhibit an enzyme involved in testosterone metabolism.
