Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) represent new anticancer agents and have been used worldwide. However, ICI can potentially induce life-threatening severe cutaneous adverse reaction (SCAR), such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN), hindering continuous ICI therapy. We examine 6 cohorts including 25 ICI-induced SJS/TEN patients and conduct single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis, which shows overexpression of macrophage-derived CXCL10 that recruits CXCR3 cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in blister cells from ICI-SJS/TEN skin lesions.

  • Bothrops snake venom causes serious local effects like pain, swelling, and bleeding; it's made up mostly of metalloproteinases and phospholipase A2 toxins.
  • A study on 22 patients in Manaus highlighted common symptoms such as fang marks, infections, and blistering, along with specific skin changes like spongiosis and hyperkeratosis.
  • The findings suggest that both the venom and the body’s inflammatory response contribute to skin damage, indicating a need for improved treatment strategies for snakebite victims.
