    Shifts in Keratin Isoform Expression Activate Motility Signals during Wound Healing

    Investigators reported an unexpected effect of keratin isoform variation on kinase signal transduction. Increased expression of wound-associated keratin 6A, but not of steady-state keratin 5, potentiated keratinocyte migration and wound closure without compromising mechanical stability.

    Appendage-Resident Epithelial Cells Expedite Wound Healing Response in Adult Zebrafish

    Scientists reported an unexpected role of adult zebrafish appendages (fins) in accelerating the re-epithelialization process. Through whole-body monitoring of single-cell dynamics in live animals, they found that fin-resident epithelial cells were highly mobile and migrated to cover wounds in nearby body regions.

    The Mechano-Chemical Circuit in Fibroblasts and Dendritic Cells Drives Basal Cell Proliferation in Psoriasis

    By employing mouse psoriasis and skin organoid models, investigators discovered a mechano-chemical signaling pathway that originated from dendritic cells, extended to dermal fibroblasts, and ultimately enhanced basal cell proliferation in psoriatic skin.

    Biogenesis of Specialized Lysosomes in Differentiated Keratinocytes Relies on Close Apposition with the Golgi Apparatus

    Researchers uncovered a novel form of Golgi-lysosome cross-talk and its role in maintaining specialized secretory lysosomes in differentiated keratinocytes.

    Loss of Lamin A Leads to the Nuclear Translocation of AGO2 and Compromised RNA Interference

    Scientists discovered that reduced lamin A levels significantly induced nuclear influx of argonaute (AGO) 2 in SHSY5Y neuroblastoma and A375 melanoma cancer cell lines, which normally have no nuclear AGO2.

    Synthetic RIG-I Agonist-Mediated Cancer Immunotherapy Synergizes with MAP-Kinase Inhibition against BRAF Mutated Melanoma

    Investigators reported that the clinically relevant combination of MAP kinase pathway inhibitors Dabrafenib and Trametinib synergized with RIG-I agonist-induced immunotherapy to kill BRAF-mutated human and mouse melanoma cells.

    Skin-on-a-Chip Technologies towards Clinical Translation and Commercialization

    Scientists review the most recent advances in the design and applications of skin-on-a-chip platforms (SoC) for disease modeling as well as the analysis of drugs and cosmetics. They also identify the existing obstacles that hinder the advancement of SoC platforms, proposing directions for future improvements.
