Abstract
Epidemiological evidence suggests that environmental pollutants contribute to atopic dermatitis, but mechanistic details are currently lacking. Elentner et al. show that PXR, a key transcription factor involved in pollutant metabolism, drives features of subclinical atopic dermatitis. These observations provide new insight into how environmental insults may predispose individuals to atopic dermatitis.
