Dermatologic disorders, affecting the integumentary system, involve diverse molecular mechanisms such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, inflammation and immune responses. Long noncoding RNAs, particularly Metastasis-Associated Lung Adenocarcinoma Transcript 1 (MALAT1), are crucial regulators of gene expression. MALAT1 influences inflammatory responses, immune cell function and signaling pathways, impacting various physiological and pathological processes, including dermatologic disorders.

Keratinocytes, the principal epidermal cells, play a vital role in maintaining the structural integrity and functionality of the skin. Beyond their protective role, keratinocytes are key contributors to the process of wound healing, as they migrate to injury sites, proliferate, and generate new layers of epidermis, facilitating tissue repair and remodeling. Moreover, keratinocytes actively participate in the skin's immune responses, expressing pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to detect microbial components and interact with immune cells to influence adaptive immunity.

The human skin is a crucial organ that protects the organism from the outer environment. Skin integrity and health depend on both extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Intrinsic factors such as aging and genetic background contribute to weakened skin and disease susceptibility.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study examined the six-month clinical evolution of 130 adults who had recovered from COVID-19, focusing on the prevalence of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) symptoms among them.
  • - Fatigue was the most frequently reported symptom, affecting 46.9% of participants, with older patients showing a higher incidence and longer hospital stays.
  • - Only 13% of the participants met the criteria for ME/CFS, suggesting that while some post-COVID symptoms overlap with ME/CFS, not all recovering patients fit this diagnosis.
