New paper from @SimpsonLabUW @DermatologyUW is online @JCI_insight🍾We found ERK hyperactivation disrupts cell-cell adhesion in epidermis, linked this pathway to both drug-induced & spontaneous Grover disease & identified MEK inhibition as a novel therapy:

Exciting week @SimpsonLabUW @DermatologyUW celebrating🍾our newest paper @JCI_insight (see separate🧵). which uncovered a mechanism that drives the pathology #Grover disease and was reversed using MEK inhibitors. Special thanks to Arti for making an amazing Indian lunch buffet!

Hope this will finally move the needle for severe drug reactions like SJS & TEN, nightmare consults in #dermatology. No Rx has great evidence to halt skin/mucosal sloughing that can be fatal. JAKi remains to be rigorously tested in patients/RCT but could change standard of care.
