Marker
  • PIP in stratum corneum (SC) is a potential marker for dysregulated sweating in atopic dermatitis (AD)
  • diagnostic biomarker for the histopathological diagnosis of breast cancer
  • best independent biomarker able to discriminate between Keratoconus (KC) and controls
  • Therapy target

    pharmacological inhibition of PIP may therefore serve the bases for both augmentation of existing therapies for hormone-dependent tumors and the development of novel therapeutic approaches for hormone-resistant BCa
