Lipid to protein ratio plays an important role in the skin barrier function of atopic eczema patients
The barrier function of the skin is primarily provided by the stratum corneum (SC), the outermost layer of the skin. Skin barrier impairment is thought to be a primary factor in the pathogenesis of atopic eczema (AE).

Chemical genetics strategy to profile kinase target engagement reveals role of FES in neutrophil phagocytosis, Nat. Comm. 2020
Chemical tools to monitor drug-target engagement of endogenously expressed protein kinases are highly desirable for preclinical target validation in drug discovery. Here, we describe a chemical genetics strategy to selectively study target engagement of endogenous kinases.
