Article Synopsis
- Methacrylate allergy, linked to allergic contact dermatitis, has become more prevalent, leading to the addition of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate to the European Baseline Series of allergens.
- A study analyzing 3,828 patients showed that 396 were tested for various methacrylate allergens, with 38.6% testing positive for at least one, primarily 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate.
- The research indicated that including additional methacrylates, like hydroxypropyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, improved detection rates significantly, suggesting that broader testing could identify more cases of allergy.
Photoreceptor disc component (PRCD) is a small protein which is exclusively localized to photoreceptor outer segments, and is involved in the formation of photoreceptor outer segment discs. Mutations in PRCD are associated with retinal degeneration in humans, mice, and dogs. The purpose of this work was to identify PRCD-binding proteins in the retina.

Prcd is expressed in the mouse eye as early as embryonic day 14. In the adult mouse retina, PRCD is expressed in the outer segments of both rod and cone photoreceptors.
