Emerging Biomarkers in Melanoma: Bridging Molecular Discovery and Precision Oncology

[Cancer Letters] The authors synthesize the evolving biomarker landscape across genetic, immune, proteomic, and digital/imaging biomarkers. They highlight subtype-specific differences in mucosal, acral, and uveal melanoma, where biomarker patterns and therapeutic responses diverge markedly from those of cutaneous disease.

Galderma’s Nemluvio® (nemolizumab) Demonstrates Long-Term Disease Control in Prurigo Nodularis up to Three Years

[Galderma] Galderma announced new data from the OLYMPIA open-label extension study investigating the long-term safety and efficacy of Nemluvio in moderate-to-severe prurigo nodularis.

Poria Cocos-Derived Exosome-Like Nanoparticles Ameliorate Lymphedema by Reprogramming Fibroblast Metabolism via Enhanced TCA Cycle Flux

[Journal of Nanobiotechnology] Scientists demonstrated that plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles represent a novel and effective nanotherapeutic strategy for lymphedema by orchestrating metabolic reprogramming and inhibiting fibrosis.

Hydrostatic Pressure Regulates Glutamine Metabolism to Promote Bladder Fibroblast Activation via the Piezo1/YAP1/GLS1 Axis

[Journal of Translational Medicine] Investigators identified a Piezo1/Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1)/glutaminase 1 (GLS1) axis linking mechanical stress to metabolic reprogramming and fibroblast activation in bladder outlet obstruction, which may serve as a therapeutic target to prevent fibrosis and preserve bladder function.

A FGFR3 Decoy Receptor Attenuates Lung Fibroblast-to-Myofibroblast Transition and Pulmonary Fibrosis

[American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology] Researchers showed that fibroblast growth factor 2 stimulated proliferation and expression of various fibrotic markers in human pulmonary fibroblasts from healthy donors and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients.

Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 Is Upregulated in Connective Tissue Mast Cells and Potentially Contributes in IgE-Mediated Degranulation

[Scientific Reports] Researchers investigated cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1) function in connective tissue mast cells (CTMCs) using a monoclonal antibody against the extracellular domain of CADM1, termed 3E1.

ANKRD1 Sustains a Neurogenic BMSC Niche and Counters Cognitive Aging

[International Journal of Oral Science] Researchers explored a neural crest-like progenitor niche in bone marrow MSCs with high neurogenic and proliferative capacity by single-cell transcriptomics.

Fusogenic Hybrid Gelled Nanovesicles Combining Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Cargo with Cholesterol-Modified Macrophage Membranes for Targeted Myocardial Infarction Therapy

[ACS Nano] Scientists developed a hybrid gelled nanovesicle, Hy-gNVs@chol, through chitosan-based protein enrichment and functional membrane replacement, enabling efficient concentration of MSC components to form gel nanoparticles while conferring inflammation-targeting capability.

Global Metabolomics Identifies New Extracellular Biomarkers of Nanovibration-Driven Mesenchymal Stem Cells Osteodifferentiation

[Biomaterials Advances] As part of an effort to eliminate synthetic osteogenic compounds, the authors characterized the metabolic adaptations of MSC to chemical-free nanovibration-induced osteodifferentiation.
