Cardiovascular Pharmacology
The NLRP3 inflammasome as pharmacological targetNLRP3 is a cytosolic receptor member of the nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain NOD-like receptor (NLR) family that surveys the intracellular environment for the presence of infection, pathogens, and metabolic alarms. While the surveillance activity of NLRP3 is required to protect the host from several pathogens, uncontrolled activity can be detrimental to the host. Pharmacological and genetic strategies limiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation...

JenkinsVersion of Record online: 16 July 2019Dandruff is a common scalp condition and this study demonstrates that there are significant changes in epidermal morphology in this condition. The epidermis is thicker, more convoluted and has deeper rete ridges. We show an increase in proliferating keratinocytes in dandruff skin, a novel finding suggesting the epidermis is in a hyper‐proliferative state.
