Spinal cord NLRP1 inflammasome contributes to dry skin induced chronic itch in mice.
Authors
Abstract
Dry skin itch is one of the most common skin diseases and elderly people are believed to be particularly prone to it. The inflammasome has been suggested to play an important role in chronic inflammatory disorders including inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis. However, little is known about the role of NLRP1 inflammasome in dry skin-induced chronic itch.
