Background: KLHL24 (Kelch-like protein 24) is a significant component of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), involved in regulating protein turnover through targeted ubiquitination and degradation. Germline mutations in KLHL24 gene have been known to cause Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex characterized by skin fragility but has recently been found to cause Cardiomyopathy.
Main Body: Various cardiomyopathies, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy, leading to abnormal protein degradation and affecting the stability and function of essential cardiac proteins which finally results into structural and functional abnormalities in cardiac muscle.

While dressings can protect the skin, they often reduce mask effectiveness and lack pharmaceuticals to treat common skin lesions. This study introduces an innovative dual-function gelatin/tannic acid-based hydrogel patch incorporating metronidazole (1% w/w) or salicylic acid (2% w/w) to offer both skin protection and treatment.
