    Small Extracellular Vesicles Containing miR-381-3p from Keratinocytes Promotes Th1/Th17 Polarization in Psoriasis

    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.

    Essential Functions of Glycans in Human Epithelia Dissected by a CRISPR-Cas9-Engineered Human Organotypic Skin Model

    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.
