Staphylococcus cohnii Is a Potentially Biotherapeutic Skin Commensal Alleviating Skin Inflammation

Scientists found that Tmem79−/− mice spontaneously develop interleukin-17-producing T-cell-driven skin inflammation. Comparative skin microbiome analysis revealed that the disease activity index is negatively associated with S. cohnii.

Autoreactive T Cells and Their Role in Atopic Dermatitis

The authors evaluate the development of (autoreactive) T cells and their response to (auto)antigens, as well as the role of the peripheral tolerance in autoimmunity in the pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis (AD), including the unmet needs and gaps.

Nuclear IL-33 Plays an Important Role in the Suppression of Filaggrin, Loricrin, Keratin 1, and Keratin 10 by IL-4 and IL-13 in Human Keratinocytes

Researchers investigated whether intracellular IL-33 is involved in IL-4/IL-13 function. In monolayer-culture and living skin equivalent, IL-4/IL-13 increased the expression of full-length IL-33 in the nucleus of keratinocytes by activating the MEK/ERK signaling pathway, which is necessary for the inhibition of differentiation markers filaggrin, loricrin, keratin1, and keratin 10.
