Jan 11, Researchers Are Looking To Develop A New Treatment
Researchers at a university in Japan have found that a certain protein, called endothelial PAS domain protein 1 (EPAS1), plays a part in producing a cytokin, interleukin 31 (IL-31). IL-31 has been shown to make the itch feel itchy. Some previous research showed that in atopic dermatitis patients the levels of IL-31 in the body can be more than 10 times higher. Doctors are now looking to find a medicine that can inhibit the production of EPAS1, so less IL-31 is produced.

Is back to school shopping looking to challenge Christmas?
We had a record breaking year last year for back to school sales; with over 800 billion[1] spent in the US, the back-to-school shopping season accounted for 17% of retail sales for the year. That was both plugged and un-plugged[2]. The experts say we are going to spend even more this year. It breaks down like this; we will spend what we did last year plus about 4% more. That is a whole lot of preparation for education. Continue reading
Looking Forward to 2017
With eczema and food allergies
Well that was an interesting year, wasn’t it? Like many of you we’re glad to be through it mostly, and looking forward to a happy and healthy 2017.
However, there has been some good news this last year for families affected by eczema and food allergies, so I thought it would be nice to do a quick round-up of the big ones, in the interests of celebration and optimism.
Eczema treatments
In the field of eczema, we have some exciting new treatments in the pipeline, that we hope might become available and be good for some of us over the coming years; along with some very interesting research projects:
- A new treatment for atopic dermatitis; Eucrisa (crisaborole), was approved in the US: https://nationaleczema.org/people-with-atopic-dermatitis-have-a-new-treatment-option/
- Positive results for the Phase 3 clinical trial of the new biologic drug, dupilumab were reported when used in conjunction with a topical corticosteroid: https://nationaleczema.org/another-step-closer/
Research
- Looking at preventing eczema in babies: https://nationaleczema.org/can-eczema-be-prevented-ask-dr-eric-simpson/
- Considering if there is an association between atopic dermatitis and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in U.S. children and adults: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27105659
Scarring
And for anyone with severe scarring, this looks amazing. Perhaps it’s not something that will ever be used in our arena, but the development itself, in which someone’s own skin’s stem cells are used to rebuild skin fills me with hope.
Food allergies
And on the food allergies side, we have new research too:
- On infant feeding and peanuts: http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1414850
- An on a new immunotherapy technique which may help people with food allergies: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/10/161026133229.htm
It feels like an exciting time with real breakthroughs being made in both the field of eczema treatment and in the food allergy arena, and we’re hoping 2017 is as fruitful.
As ever, we hope to be picking up on the big stories throughout the coming year and keeping you up to date with all the new changes in research and development on eczema and food allergies. Please do share your stories and experiences with us too.
In the meantime, I hope you have a happy and scratch-free 2017.
