Article Synopsis
  • SLURP1 and SLURP2 are proteins linked to a skin condition called Mal de Meleda (MdM), which causes painful thickening of skin on the palms and soles due to genetic mutations.
  • Mouse models lacking SLURP1 or SLURP2 exhibit similar skin thickening and show increased pain sensitivity to touch and temperature.
  • The study found that these mice have changes in skin immune response and nerve activity, suggesting they could help in developing treatments for pain related to this skin condition.
