Defining a good indication of nemoluzimab based on clinical criteria➜ DOI: 10.1111/1346-8138.17626Nemolizumab is an effective treatment for pruritus in atopic dermatitis, but it has a relatively high incidence of cutaneous adverse events (cAEs). To optimize the use of nemolizumab, Japanese researchers investigated the relationship between baseline severity in specific body areas and the frequency of cAEs. [...] Read More

Season of birth shapes human milk microbiome➜ DOI: 10.1111/all.16469In this Australian study, the season of infant birth emerged as the strongest determinant of the microbiome community structure with impacts on five of the most abundant taxa. This seasonal effect is not correlated with a bad taxon more prevalent in winter where AD is more common. The [...] Read More

Better spatial tissue imaging techniques to differentiate CTCL and AD➜ DOI: 10.1038/s41540-024-00474-xCutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) can be difficult to distinguish from inflammatory skin conditions like atopic dermatitis (AD). Multi-antigen imaging protein abundance maps were analyzed with spatial graphs inferred from the cells' positions in the tissue samples. Characteristic patterns of skin tissue organization allowed a high-precision [...] Read More

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT): first RCT.➜ DOI: 10.1111/all.16372This Chinese randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, studied the efficacy and safety assessment of FMT for moderate-to-severe adult patients with AD. All patients received FMT or placebo as capsules sourced for FMT verum from 2 strictly screened healthy donors once a week for 3 weeks, in addition to their [...] Read More

Conjunctival transcriptomic profile predicts dupilumab ocular adverse events➜ DOI: 10.1016/j.jid.2024.08.024DNA microarray analysis was used to compare the transcriptome of AD patients’ conjunctival cells collected before and 4 months after initiating dupilumab treatment. Interestingly, patients developing ocular adverse effects had both before and after treatment a similar transcriptome signature, characterized by the over-expression of several genes involved [...] Read More

Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) and AD➜ DOI: 10.2147/OPTH.S472826The importance of ophthalmological co-morbidities of AD was recently highlighted because of the large literature on dupilumab and ocular surface disorders, but several other aspects are currently neglected. VKC is a refractory ocular allergic disorder that mainly affects boys, and long-term follow-up has been rarely reported. The Department of Ophthalmology [...] Read More
