Insulin-like growth factor 1
ProteinA growth factor produced primarily by dermal fibroblasts and dermal papilla cells, with roles spanning fibroblast proliferation, keratinocyte migration, collagen stabilisation, and angiogenesis.
-
Interleukin-13
ProteinInflammatory cytokine that suppresses production of barrier proteins including filaggrin and claudin-1.
-
Interleukin-33
ProteinIL‑33 is an epithelial‑derived “alarmin” cytokine released from stressed or damaged barrier tissues, including keratinocytes in the skin.
-
Interleukin-4
ProteinInflammatory cytokine that suppresses barrier protein production, perpetuating barrier dysfunction during inflammatory skin conditions.
-
Interleukin-6
ProteinA pleiotropic cytokine with context-dependent pro- and anti-inflammatory effects determined by which receptor complex mediates signalling.
