Activation of skin keratinocytes followed by their apoptotic death leads to eczema and spongiosis formations in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD). TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) binds to its receptor, fibroblast growth factor-inducible 14 (Fn14), and controls many cellular activities, including proliferation, migration, differentiation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and inflammation.
