Our results, showing downregulation of the cornified envelope genes and upregulation of the alternative keratinization pathway, are the first to suggest abnormal epidermal differentiation and defective defences as key abnormalities in AD.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
