Green Cocoon-Derived Sericin Reduces Cellular Damage Caused by Radiation in Human Keratinocytes

[Scientific Reports] Researchers investigated the effects of green cocoon-derived sericin on human keratinocytes using lactate dehydrogenase activity to indicate damage reduction.

Collagen I Protects Human Keratinocytes HaCaT against UVB Injury via Restoring PINK1/Parkin-Mediated Mitophagy

[Archives Of Biochemistry And Biophysics] Cells grown on plates coated by molecular collagen I, but not fibrillar collagen I, acquired certain resistance against UVB damages, as shown by increased survival and reduced apoptosis.

ANKRD1 Is a Mesenchymal-Specific Driver of Cancer-Associated Fibroblast Activation Bridging Androgen Receptor Loss to AP-1 Activation

[Nature Communications] Investigators identified ANKRD1 as a mesenchymal-specific transcriptional coregulator under direct androgen receptor negative control in human dermal fibroblasts and a key driver of cancer-associated fibroblasts conversion, independent of cellular senescence.

Saracatinib Inhibits Necroptosis and Ameliorates Psoriatic Inflammation by Targeting MLKL

[Cell Death & Disease] In an imiquimod-induced psoriasis mouse model, saracatinib effectively blocked mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) phosphorylation and inflammatory responses in vivo.

Differential Histone Acetylation and Super-Enhancer Regulation Underlie Melanoma Cell Dedifferentiation

[JCI Insight] Scientists identified ITGA3 gene as marked by a super-enhancer element in the Epgn3 invasive cells. Silencing of ITGA3 enhanced invasiveness in both in vitro and in vivo systems suggesting it as a negative regulator of invasion.

Nuclear Mechanotransduction on Skin Stem Cell Fate Regulation

[Current Opinion In Cell Biology] Scientists focus on the key cytoplasmic and nuclear mechanosensitive structures that are critical for the mammalian skin development and homeostatic maintenance.

TGR5-Mediated Lateral Hypothalamus-dCA3-Dorsolateral Septum Circuit Regulates Depressive-Like Behavior in Male Mice

[Neuron] Using depression models of chronic social defeat stress and chronic restraint stress in male mice, researchers found that TGR5 in the lateral hypothalamic area predominantly decreased in GABAergic neurons, the excitability of which increased in depressive-like mice.

Feedforward and Feedback Mechanisms Cooperatively Regulate Rapid Experience-Dependent Response Adaptation in a Single Thermosensory Neuron Type

[Proceedings Of The National Academy Of Sciences Of The United States Of America] Researchers showed that rapid thermosensory response adaptation in AFD was mediated via cGMP and calcium-dependent feedforward and feedback mechanisms operating at the level of primary thermotransduction.

Glucosylceramide Accumulation in Microglia Triggers STING-Dependent Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration in Mice

[Science Signaling] Scientists investigated the mechanisms by which glucosylceramide (GC) accumulation induced neuroinflammation. They found that GC accumulation within microglia induced by pharmacological inhibition of GCase triggered STING-dependent inflammation, which contributed to neuronal loss both in vitro and in vivo.
