A recent discovery by researchers at The Australian National University (ANU), published in Nature Communications (@NatureComms), has identified a gene mutation responsible for causing psoriasis. This breakthrough offers new hope for individuals living with the chronic skin disease. In related research, scientists have also identified a key driver of myelin repair, as reported by PNAS News (@PNASNews). Meanwhile, a team at the KECK School of USC (@KECKSchool_USC) has discovered a protein, Piezo1, that prevents type 2 innate lymphoid cells in the lung from becoming hyperactivated by allergens (#Allergens), suggesting a new approach to treating allergic asthma. This finding was reported in two sources, highlighting its potential impact on reducing lung inflammation and was supported by @RockUPress.
