Journal ArticleDOI
An Experimental Study of the Small World Problem
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the small world method to generate acquaintance chains to a target person in Massachusetts, employing "the small world" (Milgram, 1967) and found that the funneling of chains through sociometric "stars" is noted, with 48 per cent of the chains passing through three persons before reaching the target.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytokine Milieu of Atopic Dermatitis, as Compared to Psoriasis, Skin Prevents Induction of Innate Immune Response Genes
Ichiro Nomura,Elena Goleva,Michael D. Howell,Quatyba A. Hamid,Peck Y. Ong,Clifton F. Hall,Marc Darst,Bifeng Gao,Mark Boguniewicz,Jeffrey B. Travers,Donald Y.M. Leung +10 more
TL;DR: Skin biopsies from AD and psoriasis patients were analyzed and decreased expression of a constellation of antimicrobial genes occurs as the result of local up-regulation of Th2 cytokines and the lack of elevated amounts of TNF-α and IFN-γ under inflammatory conditions in AD skin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Staphylococcus δ-toxin induces allergic skin disease by activating mast cells
Yuumi Nakamura,Jon Oscherwitz,Kemp B. Cease,Susana M. Chan,Raúl Muñoz-Planillo,Mizuho Hasegawa,Amer E. Villaruz,Gordon Y. C. Cheung,Martin J. McGavin,Jeffrey B. Travers,Michael Otto,Naohiro Inohara,Gabriel Núñez +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of staphylococcal exotoxins in disease pathogenesis remains unclear, however, the authors identify δ-toxin as a potent inducer of mast cell degranulation and suggest a mechanistic link between S. aureus colonization and allergic skin disease.

Journal ArticleDOI
Distinct patterns of gene expression in the skin lesions of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis: A gene microarray analysis
TL;DR: A very distinctive gene expression pattern in AD as compared with psoriasis that may explain several features of AD and Psoriasis including the specific inflammatory cell infiltrates observed in these disorders.
