December 2020 in “Tissue Barriers” The study explored the role of loricrin, an epidermal protein, in maintaining skin homeostasis and its impact on the immune system. Despite the unexpected discovery of the asymptomatic loricrin knockout (LKO) phenotype, LKO mice revealed altered homeostasis due to redox-driven backup responses. The research aimed to understand how changes in epidermal differentiation affect immune signaling within the skin. By reviewing existing evidence, the study proposed an integrated view of how the peripheral immune system is regulated in squamous epithelial tissue with truncated differentiation, potentially identifying epidermal factors that influence immune effector functions.
