Filaggrin deficiency leads to impaired lipid profile and altered acidification pathways in a 3D skin construct.
Mutations in the filaggrin (FLG) gene are strongly associated with common dermatological disorders such as atopic dermatitis. However, the exact underlying pathomechanism is still ambiguous. Here, we… Expand
