The SPIN works in close collaboration with National Representatives, gathering the representatives of the national psoriasis groups who participate to the network. Since 2018, our network includes also key opinion leaders on atopic dermatitis at the national level.
SPIN National Representatives are in a privileged position to relay the information about SPIN’s projects, surveys and events at the national level. They have kindly accepted to be the national contact for all kind of collaborations, especially to promote the development of the network’s activities and the exchanges on psoriasis and atopic dermatitis all around the world. Each representative is responsible for the coordination of international collaborations between his or her country and the others, and of course for the participation to the projects around psoriasis and atopic dermatitis at the national level.
SPIN National Representatives will be solicited for input in the organisation of the scientific programme of the SPIN Congress taking place every three years. During the Congress, the National Representatives shall meet to foresee the next Congress and discuss about its scientific organization.

Strobilanthes cusia (Nees) Kuntze, a multifunctional traditional Chinese medicinal plant, and its herbal medicines: A comprehensive review.
J Ethnopharmacol.
2021 Jan 30, 265:113325.
Strobilanthes cusia (Nees) Kuntze (SCK, Malan), a traditional Chinese medicinal plant, has long applied to detoxification, defervescence, detumescence and antiphlogosis. "Southern Banlangen" (Rhizoma et Radix Baphicacanthis Cusiae, RRBC), root and rhizome of SCK, is widely used for treatment of many epidemic diseases. Malanye (Southern Daqingye), stem and leaf of SCK, is an antipyretic-alexipharmic drug frequently-used in southern China. Qingdai (Indigo Naturalis, IN), a processed product (...)

In silico data mining of large-scale databases for the virtual screening of human interleukin-2 inhibitors.
Acta Pharm.
2021 Mar 01, 71, (1):33-56.
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is involved in the activation and differentiation of T-helper cells. Uncontrolled activated T cells play a key role in the pathophysiology by stimulating inflammation and autoimmune diseases like arthritis, psoriasis and Crohn's disease. T cells activation can be suppressed either by preventing IL-2 production or blocking the IL-2 interaction with its receptor. Hence, IL-2 is now emerging as a target for novel therapeutic approaches in several autoimmune disorders. This (...)

Diet-Induced Mouse Model of Atopic Dermatitis.

Diet-Induced Mouse Model of Atopic Dermatitis.
Methods Mol Biol.
2021 , 2223:79-86.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common skin disease characterized by chronic inflammation and itchiness. Although skin barrier dysfunction and immune abnormalities are thought to contribute to the development of AD, the precise pathogenic mechanism remains to be elucidated. We have developed a unique, diet-induced AD mouse model based on the findings that deficiencies of certain polyunsaturated fatty acids and starches cause AD-like symptoms in hairless mice. Here, we present a protocol and (...)

Generation and Characterization of Inducible Lung and Skin-Specific IL-22 Transgenic Mice.
Methods Mol Biol.
2021 , 2223:115-132.
IL-22 is an IL-10 family cytokine that is increased in asthma and atopic dermatitis (AD). However, the specific role of IL-22 in the pathogenesis of allergic lung inflammation and AD in vivo has yet to be elucidated. We aimed to develop mouse models of allergic diseases in the lung and skin with inducible and tissue-specific expression of IL-22, using a tetracycline (Tet)-controlled system. In this chapter, we describe a series of protocols we have developed to generate a construct that (...)

Heterogeneity of Childhood Asthma in Korea: Cluster Analysis of the Korean Childhood Asthma Study Cohort.
Allergy Asthma Immunol Res.
2021 Jan , 13, (1):42-55.
Asthma is a heterogeneous airway disease occurring in children, and it has various clinical phenotypes. A clear differentiation of the clinical phenotypes can provide better asthma management and prediction of asthma prognosis. Little is currently known about asthma phenotypes in Korean children. This study was designed to identify asthma phenotypes in school-aged Korean children.
