Examine the relationship between child AD activity and severity with maternal depression across childhood. Longitudinal cohort study of 12,124 mother–child dyads from the Avon Longitudinal Study...

Removal of volatile organic compounds by chemical filters significantly inhibited the development of atopic dermatitis symptoms in mice: potential implications for air-conditioning systems in healthcare environments

 Published on 23/03/2026 |  Original article (Full-text)  | Chiharu Ohira et al. | Toxicological Sciences. Volume 209(3).

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are increasingly implicated in systemic diseases, but their contribution to skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis (AD) remains unclear. This study assessed VOC concentrations in medical environments, their effects on AD development, and the efficacy of VOC removal...
