Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an extremely heterogenous autoimmune disorder. A key biomarker, the double stranded (ds) DNA autoantibody, provides diagnostic specificity for SLE. We analyzed anti-dsDNA by mass spectrometry (MS) to determine if ascertaining the autoantibody's heavy chain variable region (IGHV) may hold any clinical relevance.

Tissue clearing enables deep imaging of long biological structures using light microscopy approaches. Protocols such as iDISCO are not currently available for human skin. Here, we present Skin-iDISCO, a tissue-clearing and labeling protocol for morphometric analysis of human cutaneous vasculature.

Objective: Physical treatment modalities, such as ablative fractional laser (AFL), electrocautery, and cryotherapy, are extensively used in the field of dermatology. This study aimed to characterize the short-term innate and adaptive immune responses induced by AFL compared with heat- and cold-based procedures.
Materials And Methods: Innate (CD11bLy6G neutrophils) and adaptive (CD8CD3 T cells) immune cell infiltration and histopathological changes were examined in murine skin on Days 1 and 7, following AFL, monopolar-electrocautery (RF), thermocautery, and cryotherapy.

Background: The colonization of (SA) acquired in nosocomial infections may develop acute and chronic infections such as Methicillin-Resistant (MRSA) in the nose. As a commensal microorganism with the ability to form a biofilm, SA can dwell on the skin, nostrils, throat, perineum, and axillae of healthy humans. Nitric oxide (NO) is an unstable gas with various molecular functions and has antimicrobial properties which are converted into many potential treatments.

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies that can lead to cutaneous metastasis. Dermatopathologists often play an important role in the diagnosis of breast cancer metastasis to the skin. Rarely, dermatopathologists render a histopathologic diagnosis of primary breast cancer.
