Contact sensitizers induce skin inflammation via ROS production and hyaluronic acid degradation.
<h4>Background</h4>Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) represents a severe health problem with increasing worldwide prevalence. It is a T cell-mediated skin disease induced by protein-reactive organic and inorganic chemicals. A key feature of contact allergens is their ability to trigger a...
