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.

Trends and Challenges in Organoid Modeling and Expansion with Pluripotent Stem Cells and Somatic Tissue

[PeerJ] To bridge the gaps between basic research and pharmaceutical as well as clinical applications, efforts have been made to develop organoids from tissue-derived stem cells or pluripotent stem cells. The authors summarize the status of organoid development and applications and highlight recent progress and limitations.

Innate Immune Cell Functions Contribute to Spontaneous HIV Control

[Current HIV/Aids Reports] The authors review the role of innate immune cells in shaping the viral reservoir and maintenance of long-term viral control of spontaneous Elite and Viremic HIV controllers.

Dyadic Receives $3 Million Grant to Develop Cost-Effective Monoclonal Antibodies for RSV and Malaria Using C1 Platform Technology

[Dyadic International, Inc.] Dyadic International, Inc. announced that it has been awarded a $3 million grant from the Gates Foundation for the cell line development of monoclonal antibodies targeting respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and malaria utilizing the company’s proprietary C1 protein production platform to provide globally accessible treatment options for underserved populations.
