Interleukin-38 (IL-38), a protein involved in regulating inflammatory responses, could be a game changer.

A team from the University of Geneva ( UNIGE ) has observed it for the first time in the form of condensates in keratinocytes, the cells of the epidermis .

Presence of IL-38 in these aggregates is enhanced close to the skin's surface exposed to atmospheric oxygen.

This process could be linked to the initiation of programmed keratinocyte death, a natural process.

Oxidation-sensitive cysteines drive IL-38 amyloid formation.

System will provide an alternative to animal models often used for the study of skin biology and disease.

New system will provide a more precise analysis of human cells.
