Having a device that can measure TEWL remotely, continuously or as programmed by the investigator - and without perturbing a patient during sleep - is a major advance.

A new classification of hereditary EDDs highlights shared disease mechanisms—unlocking targeted, pathogenesis-based treatments. From lovastatin-cholesterol to kallikrein inhibitors and gene editing, care for syndromic ichthyosis is evolving.

Long-term dupilumab treatment in young children (6mo–5y) with moderate-to-severe AD shows low infection rates. This reinforces its strong safety profile for pediatric eczema care.

New study on tapinarof cream 1% in pediatric AD! Minimal systemic absorption, favorable safety, and good tolerability in children (2–17 yrs)with extensive AD. The treatment was well tolerated, even on sensitive skin and flexural areas, with only mild folliculitis reported. #atopicdermatitis #dermsky

Great to be at #AAD2025, sharing our lab’s work and connecting with colleagues in the field. Exciting discussions and a fantastic meeting!
Science drives innovation, informs policy, and improves lives—let’s continue to champion its role in society.

Debra and @charitydebra.bsky.social are delighted to support a clinical trial led by @pallerlab.bsky.social @nufeinbergmed.bsky.social.

The trial explores #repurposing Dupilumab - used for eczema - to treat itch, blistering, and pain in all types of #EB.

Excited about a device that both measures scratch based on finger movement and the sound of itch — and can optionally provide a haptic vibration when sensing scratch to stop it, even at night.
