Transcriptomic Analysis of Healthy and Atopic Dermatitis Samples Reveals the Role of IL-37 in Human Skin

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects up to one in five children and millions of adults in developed countries. Clinically, AD skin lesions manifest as subacute and/or chronic lichenified eczematous plaques, which are often intensely pruritic and prone to secondary bacterial and viral infections. Despite the emergence of novel therapeutic […]

Immunomodulation of Skin Cytokine Secretion by House Dust Mite Extracts

Background: Skin contact with house dust mites may contribute to atopic dermatitis and other skin diseases. We sought to determine if molecules from house dust mites could influence the release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines from epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts grown in a human skin equivalent (HSE) model. Methods: HSEs consisting of an epidermis […]

Induction of an Atopic Dermatitis-Like Phenotype in a Full-Thickness in vitro Human Skin Model

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common inflammatory disease of the skin and is characterized by defects in keratinocyte differentiation and skin barrier dysfunction. The goal of the current work is to create an in vitro AD model for use in basic research and therapeutic development. To create the model, the in vitro full-thickness human […]
