Sociodemographic factors linked to food allergy diagnosis among high-risk children with atopic dermatitis
CONCLUSION: Labeling at-risk young children with food allergy without thorough objective testing can impact their nutrition and quality of life. Barriers to equitable evaluation of food allergy diagnosis should be further investigated and addressed.PMID:38648973 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2024.04.016 (Source: Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology)

Nanopore Long-Read Sequencing Solves the Conundrum of FLG Genetics
Loss-of-function (LoF) variants resulting in stop codons in FLG are causative for ichthyosis vulgaris (IV) (Smith et  al, 2006). FLG LoF is also a major risk factor for developing atopic dermatitis (AD) (Palmer et al, 2006). However, reports of mild AD in compound heterozygote individuals suggest that these LoF may be in cis (same allele) and the other allele to be normal. To further complicate FLG genetics, eac h FLG allele is comprised of either 10, 11, or 12 repeats, with each additional repeat decreasing the odds of AD (Brown et al, 2012).

Does Molluscum Contagiosum Need to be Managed Differently in Atopic Children?
Acta Derm Venereol. 2024 Apr 20;104:adv39983. doi: 10.2340/actadv.v104.39983.ABSTRACTThe association between molluscum contagiosum and concomitant atopic dermatitis and its impact on clinical features and treatment outcomes remains unclear. This retrospective study, conducted in the paediatric dermatology clinic of a tertiary medical centre, aimed to compare molluscum patients with and without atopic dermatitis. A total of 615 children with molluscum were included, 13.17% of whom had atopic dermatitis. While the latter group exhibited higher lesion count and itchiness (p=0.026 and p=0.044, respectively), no significant dif...

Label-free cell phenotypic profiling of histamine H4R receptor and discovery of non-competitive H4R antagonist from natural products
Bioorg Chem. 2024 Apr 18;147:107387. doi: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107387. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHistamine 4 receptor (H4R), the most recently identified subtype of histamine receptor, primarily induces inflammatory reactions upon activation. Several H4R antagonists have been developed for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and atopic dermatitis (AD), but their use has been limited by adverse side effects, such as a short half-life and toxicity. Natural products, as an important source of anti-inflammatory agents, offer minimal side effects and reduced toxicity. This work aimed to identify novel H4R ant...

Cobrotoxin, a single peptide from snake venom, ameliorates atopic dermatitis via suppression of MK2 modulated by IgE and IL-33
ConclusionThe study suggests that CoTX has anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory effects in allergic AD. By targeting IL-33 and IgE pathways, CoTX demonstrated potential in regulating mast cell activation and inflammatory cytokine production. The observed improvements in the AD mouse model indicate CoTX as a promising candidate for further research towards developing effective and safe treatments for AD.
