The histamine (HI) content and the activities of the enzymes involved in its degradation have been studied in guinea pig skin after stimulation of epidermal proliferation. As compared with unstimulated skin the HI content and histamine N-methyltransferase (HMT) activity in the stripped skin were reduced at the time of increased epidermal proliferation and were higher than the normal when the epidermis becomes hyperplastic. Diamine oxidase (DAO) followed an inverse pattern.

The emergence of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) has improved the prognosis for lung cancer patients with EGFR-driven mutations. However, acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs poses a significant challenge to the treatment. Overcoming the resistance has primarily focused on developing next-generation targeted therapies based on the molecular mechanisms of resistance or inhibiting the activation of bypass pathways to suppress or reverse the resistance.

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with etiologies related to genetics, immunity, and the environment. It is characterized by excessive proliferation of keratinocytes and infiltration of inflammatory immune cells. Glycosylation is a post-translational modification of proteins that plays important roles in cell adhesion, signal transduction, and immune cell activation.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation and migration [1]. It forms a homodimer or heterodimer with other ErbB receptor family members to activate downstream signaling. Emerging evidence indicates that the EGFR activity and downstream signaling are regulated by other proteins except its family members during tumorigenesis.

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a tropical disease that can cause chronic lesions and leave life-long scars, leading to social stigmatization and psychological disorders. Using growth factors and immunomodulatory agents that could accelerate wound healing and reduce the scar is highly demanded. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) plays an essential role in wound healing.

Resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) is the main cause of mortality in lung cancer. This study aimed to investigate the roles of neuropilin 1 (NRP1) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NRP1 expression was assessed in tumor tissues from patients with osimertinib-resistant (OR) NSCLC and osimertinib-responsive NSCLC as well as in patients with paracancerous NSCLC tissues who did not undergo radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
