Human β-defensin-3 attenuates atopic dermatitis–like inflammation through autophagy activation and the aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling pathway

Human β-defensin-3 (hBD-3) exhibits antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activities; however, its contribution to autophagy regulation remains unclear, and the role of autophagy in the regulation of the epidermal barrier in atopic dermatitis (AD) is poorly understood. Here, keratinocyte autophagy was...
