May 5, Top Dermatolologist May Of Found A Reason For Eczema
Dr Emma Guttman-Yassley is a dermatologist at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center. She is being credited with research that is said to be ahead of others, in understanding and treating eczema. She has identified molecules that may cause eczema. This has led her to find medication that could treat it. Testing is being done on this new medication. It is reported that if testing is successful, the treatment could be available to the public in a few years. If the testing is successful, this could be hugely important to eczema sufferers. Though as with any reports of research and tests being done, we need to wait to find out how huge it could be. I will let you know of any updates to this story. You can read more about it below

Scientists may have found a new track to treat eczema
The Talking Democrat Eczema treatments are expensive and carry some itchy side effects. But, in a recent study, researchers have identified skin cells as a natural barrier to the allergic attacks caused by the disease. Today, about 17% of children in developed countries … |
Oct 24, Ten New Genetic Links Found That May Link To Eczema
It has been reported that ten new genetic links have been discovered that may increase the risk of eczema developing. Amongst the genes found, were some that had an effect on certain roles of the immune system. An over-active immune system can be a cause of cause developing. The first part of the research was done with around 21,000 eczema sufferers and over 90,000 non-sufferers. Another 260,000 people were added to the research so the results could be confirmed. The main result of the study confirms how important the immune system is in the development of eczema. How these new found genes will increase the risk of eczema developing may need more research, and more time.

Vitamin B3 found in Marmite linked with preventing miscarriages
You may remember a few months ago the much hyped headline which stated that Marmite may be the key to preventing miscarriages and birth defects. Newspapers around the country jumped on the story branding it the new miracle cure. Results from a study by Australian scientists, have apparently shown that Vitamin B3 (found in Marmite) can cure deficiencies which cause miscarriages and birth defects. However, what are the facts, and is this #fakenews?
The researchers examined four families that each had a child with multiple birth defects, and carried out genetic sequencing.
“After discovering gene mutations that affected production of NAD, they looked at similar disease-causing mutations in mice and the effect that increasing vitamin B3 in the diet had on preventing malformations in developing embryos. The researchers studied the effect of vitamin B3 on developing mouse model embryos, with what they called ‘astounding’ results.”
Before the mother began to consume vitamin B3 regularly, the embryos were either lost through miscarriage, or the babies were born with quite severe birth defects. After the supplements were given, both miscarriages and birth defects were completely prevented, with all children born healthy.
This research however is not conclusive, as not all miscarriages and abnormalities occur because of the genetic mutation that reduces vitamin B3. To find out more about the NHS’s view on this story, read their article here.
