    Interleukins 4 and 13 Drive Lipid Abnormalities in Skin Cells through Regulation of Sex Steroid Hormone Synthesis

    Scientists showed that in atopic dermatitis, IL-4 and IL-13 stimulated the expression of 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1, a key rate-limiting enzyme in sex steroid hormone synthesis, predominantly expressed by sebaceous glands in human skin.

    Abstract

    lncRNA BASP1-AS1 Interact with YBX1 to Regulate Notch Transcription and Drives the Malignancy of Melanoma

    The authors found that lncRNA BASP1-AS1 was essential for the development and prognosis of melanoma. The ectopic expression of BASP1-AS1 promoted cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in both A375 and SK-MEL-2 cells.

    Abstract

    Cytosolic-DNA-Mediated STING-Dependent Inflammation Contributes to the Progression of Psoriasis

    Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) is a universal receptor that recognizes cytosolic DNA and triggers innate immune activation. Investigators elucidated the role of STING in the inflammation during psoriasis.

    Abstract

    CXCL9 as a Key Biomarker of Vitiligo Activity and Prediction of the Success of Cultured Melanocyte Transplantation

    Scientists investigated the potential biomarkers of vitiligo by evaluating the disease activity and curative effect of autologous cultured pure melanocyte transplantation on patients.

    PITX1 Inhibits the Growth and Proliferation of Melanoma Cells through Regulation of SOX, Family Genes

    Researchers showed that paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 1 (PITX1) plays a crucial role in the inhibition of melanoma progression through regulation of SRY-box transcription factors (SOX) gene family mRNA transcription.

    Abstract

    The Circadian Clock and Diseases of the Skin

    The authors illustrate the effect of feeding time on the skin circadian clock and skin function, a previously overlooked area of research. They discuss works that relate the circadian clock and its disruption to skin diseases, including skin cancer, sunburn, hair loss, aging, infections, inflammatory skin diseases, and wound healing.
