Abstract

Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression that do not originate from alternations in the DNA sequence. Epigenetic modifications include DNA methylation, histone modification, and gene silencing via the action of microRNAs. Epigenetic dysregulation has been implicated in many disease processes. In the field of dermatology, epigenetic regulation has been extensively explored as a pathologic mechanism in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), which has led to the successful development of epigenetic therapies for CTCL. In recent years, the potential role of epigenetic regulation in the pathogeneses of inflammatory skin diseases has gained greater appreciation. In particular, epigenetic changes in psoriasis and atopic dermatitis have been increasingly studied, with DNA methylation the most rigorously investigated to date. In this review, we provide an overview of DNA methylation in inflammatory skin diseases with an emphasis on psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.

Alopezie: Dosisreduktion von Baricitinib auf dem Prüfstand

Wenn die Behandlung mit Baricitinib bei Alopecia areata nach 52 Wochen klinisch anspricht, kann die Dosis unter Umständen reduziert werden. Dies legen zumindest die Ergebnisse einer Substudie von BRAVE-AA2 nahe.

Wie gefährlich sind suspekte Veränderungen in der Mundhöhle?

Wie hoch ist das Risiko, dass sich aus einer bereits verdächtigen Veränderung der Mundschleimhaut ein Karzinom entwickelt? Ein US-Team hat dazu das Patientenregister der Universität San Francisco ausgewertet.

Chronische Rhinitis mit Botox lindern

Eine Injektion von Botulinumtoxin A in die Nasenmuscheln lindert Beschwerden einer chronischen Rhinitis für etwa zwei bis drei Monate. Vor allem Personen mit allergischer Rhinitis können davon profitieren.

Neue Creme gegen Melasmen

Eine Creme mit Alpha-Arbutin und Kojisäure hat sich in einer neuen Studie als wirksam zur Therapie von Melasmen erwiesen. Sie war ebenso effektiv wie eine Triple-Combination-Creme, es traten aber weniger Rezidive und Nebenwirkungen auf.
