|
| Finasteride was loaded in phospholipid vesicles and baicalin was co-loaded as an adjuvant. Their effect on hair growth was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. [Nanoscale] |

|
|
| Investigators proposed that psoriatic keratinocytes transferred miR-381-3p to CD4+ T cells via small extracellular vesicles, inducing Th1/Th17 polarization and promoting psoriasis development. [Journal of investigative Dermatology] |

|
| Using the kINPen argon plasma jet, a selective growth-reducing action of plasma treatment was identified in two squamous cell carcinoma cell lines in 2D and 3D cultures. [Cancers] |

|
| Scientists found that the loss of Sirt7 in mice impeded hair follicle life‐cycle transition from telogen to anagen phase, resulting in delay of hair growth. [EMBO Journal] |

|
|
| Researchers used CRISPR-Cas9 gene targeting to generate a library of 3D organotypic skin tissues that selectively differed in their capacity to produce glycan structures on the main types of N- and O-linked glycoproteins and glycolipids. This tissue library revealed distinct changes in skin formation associated with a loss of features for all tested glycoconjugates. [Developmental Cell] |
|
|
|
| Using lectin microarray, researchers performed a comprehensive glycan profiling of freshly isolated epidermal stem cells from young and old mouse skin. [Aging Cell] |

|
| The authors feature melanoma cell-derived exosomes with special emphasis on exosome-mediated signaling between melanoma cells and the host immune system. [International Journal of Molecular Sciences] |

|
| Four Chinese nationals have been charged with visa fraud after revelations that they sent information on the layout of US labs and research carried out by colleagues back to China. [The Scientist] |
