J Invest Dermatol. 2009 Sep;129(9):2088-90

Authors: Massoumi R

In this issue, Büchau et al. identify and characterize B-cell leukemia-3 as an important modulator of AMP expression during the innate immune response in keratinocytes as well as in the chronic inflammatory skin disorder atopic dermatitis.
