Abstract Summary

New research reveals that self-derived DNA and RNA trigger potent inflammatory responses in skin cells by dramatically increasing chemokine production. These nucleic acids boost key inflammatory proteins like CCL2, CXCL10, and CX3CL1 through NF-κB activation, potentially driving chronic skin diseases including psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.

Why Brain? 🧠

Self-derived nucleic acids trigger inflammatory chemokine production in skin cells via NF-κB, offering new insights into chronic skin diseases like psoriasis and atopic dermatitis pathogenesis.
