This article proposes that the combined genetic factor of filaggrin deficiency and environmental factor of staphylococcal biofilms contribute to the development of eczema and ichthyosis vulgaris, but reports no new clinical findings.

research FilaggrinHigh melanomas exhibit active FGFR and allergic signatures with impaired GNA14 and Th1 signatures

1 citations , July 2025 in “Frontiers in Genetics”

In this study, researchers classified melanomas by filaggrin expression levels and found that in filaggrin^High melanomas, there are significant changes in FGFR signaling and impaired GNA14 and Th1 signatures, linked to genetic and immune alterations associated with pruritus.
