    Circular RNA circASH1L(4,5) Protects MicroRNA-129-5p from Target-Directed microRNA Degradation in Human Skin Wound Healing

    Researchers identified circASH1L(4,5) and its interaction with miR-129-5p, both of which increased during human skin wound healing. circASH1L enhanced miR-129 stability and silencing activity by protecting it from target-directed degradation triggered by NR6A1 mRNA.

    Interferon-Induced Factor 16 Is Essential in Metastatic Melanoma to Maintain STING Levels and the Immune Responses upon IFN-γ Response Pathway Activation

    The authors identifed IFI16 as a key sensor during IFN-γ stimulation associated with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) response, and proposed the epigenetic EZH2 inhibitor as an alternative treatment strategy to overcome ICI resistance in patients with metastatic melanoma.
