Mount Sinai researchers have been awarded $12 million over five years by the National Institutes of Health to create a center to elucidate novel causes of, and contributing factors to, food allergies and atopic dermatitis. The Systems Biology of Early Atopy (SunBEAm) Analysis and Bioinformatics Center intends to develop a better understanding of allergy development. The center will apply systems biology to identify early-life markers of risk for food allergies and atopic dermatitis (also known as eczema), as well as biological pathways underlying these common conditions, through the profiling and analysis of longitudinal multi-omics data from a multi-center pre-birth cohort of 2,500 children.

A team of researchers led by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has developed a novel delivery system for messenger RNA (mRNA) using extracellular vesicles (EVs). The new technique has the potential to overcome many of the delivery hurdles faced by other promising mRNA therapies.
A product of a freshwater single-celled green algae called Euglena gracilis may enhance skin regeneration to speed up wound healing, according to new research published in Advanced Materials Interfaces.
ROSEMONT, Ill. (January 11, 2023) — Often called eczema or atopic eczema, atopic dermatitis is a common skin condition, affecting 1 in 10 Americans. Although atopic dermatitis occurs most frequently in children, it also affects adults and can have a significant impact on patients’ quality of life. To help ensure that adult patients with atopic dermatitis receive the best possible treatment, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) has published updated guidelines of care for the management of atopic dermatitis in adults with topical therapies in the y.
A special article in Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology reports on the findings of a roundtable discussion that focused on challenges that people with skin of color with atopic dermatitis and food allergy often experience based on their skin type, their comfort level with health care providers, where they live, and many other sociodemographic factors.
The skin is presumably the largest and one of the most versatile body organs. By providing a physical barrier, it protects our body from environmental assaults.
Fewer cases of melanoma were observed among regular users of vitamin D supplements than among non-users, a new study finds.
In a new study involving three volunteers, skin scars began to behave more like uninjured skin after they were treated with hair follicle transplants.
Anyone suffering dry skin, eczema, or insect bites will know the unpleasant effects of itchy skin.
