Role of sebaceous glands in inflammatory dermatoses.
Published in Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
Skin is an important interface between the host and its environment. Inflammatory dermatoses often have disrupted skin barrier function, rendering patients more susceptible to allergenic triggers leading to an exaggerated immune response. The skin surface lipid film, an important component of the skin barrier, comprises a mixture of keratinocyte an...
Effects of Fermented Dairy Products on Skin: A Systematic Review.
Published in Journal of alternative and complementary medicine (New York, N.Y.)
Overall, there is early and limited evidence that fermented dairy products, used both topically and orally, may provide benefits for skin health. However, existing studies are limited and further studies will be important to better assess efficacy and the mechanisms involved.
Evaluating clinical trial design: systematic review of randomized vehicle-controlled trials for determining efficacy of ...
Published in Archives of Dermatological Research
Determined efficacies of benzoyl peroxide may be affected by study design, implementation, and vehicle effects. We sought to elucidate areas that may allow improvement in determining accurate treatment efficacies by determining rates of active treatment and vehicle responders in randomized controlled trials assessing the efficacy of topical benzoyl...
Does wound eversion improve cosmetic outcome?: Results of a randomized, split-scar, comparative trial.
Published in Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
Wound eversion was not significantly associated with improved overall scar assessments by blinded observers or patient assessment.
Acute wounding alters the beta2-adrenergic signaling and catecholamine synthetic pathways in keratinocytes.

Published in Journal of Investigative Dermatology
Keratinocyte migration is critical for wound re-epithelialization. Previous studies showed that epinephrine activates the beta2-adrenergic receptor (B2AR), impairing keratinocyte migration. Here, we investigated the keratinocyte catecholamine synthetic pathway in response to acute trauma. Cultured keratinocytes were scratch wounded and expression l...

Plant-based modulation of Toll-like receptors: an emerging therapeutic model.
Published in Phytotherapy research : PTR
Plant-based extracts present a large source of natural immune modulators, many of which have been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Recent research efforts have identified plant extracts as potential modulators of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), the first responders in immunological defenses in normal and disease conditions. This review aims ...
