     160  0 Kommentare Nature article presents impact and importance of epithelial barrier damage on a range of common diseases

    STOCKHOLM, April 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- SciBase Holding AB ("SciBase") [STO:SCIB], a leading developer of augmented intelligence-based solutions for skin disorders, announced today the publication of a  groundbreaking article presenting the "epithelial barrier hypothesis" in Nature Reviews Immunology. The article was written by Professor Cezmi Akdis at the Swiss institute of Allergy and Asthma Research (SIAF). Prof. Akdis is the key research collaborator in SciBase's product development for skin barrier assessment. The article presents the background for the steep increase in allergic diseases over the last decades, and how this increase is connected to industrialization and modern lifestyle.

    Simon Grant, CEO of SciBase commented, "This article shows just how important the skin and epithelial barrier in general, are in the development of a range of diseases. It also illustrates the potential value of tools for epithelial barrier assessment. This week Prof Akdis and his team in Davos also published an article in Allergy on the use of Nevisense with perhaps the most common barrier-related disease, atopic dermatitis. The Nature article is impressive in its breadth and by extension what it can mean for SciBase's barrier assessment technology. I think this will help followers of SciBase understand why we have included barrier assessment as a key component of our strategy. The article is not just important from a scientific perspective; we also believe it will, together with the previously published article in Allergy, drive interest from researchers and potential industry partners."

    Professor Akdis provides some background. "There has been a steep increase in allergic and autoimmune diseases, reaching epidemic proportions and now affecting more than one billion people worldwide. These diseases are more common in industrialized countries, and their prevalence continues to rise in developing countries in parallel to urbanization and industrialization. Intact skin and mucosal barriers are crucial for the maintenance of tissue homeostasis as they protect host tissues from infections, environmental toxins, pollutants and allergens.
