    HMGB1-Mediated Chromatin Remodeling Attenuates Il24 Gene Expression for the Protection from Allergic Contact Dermatitis

    Researchers generated conditional knockout mice in which the High-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) gene was specifically deleted in keratinocytes, and examined its role in allergic contact dermatitis models.

    Abstract

    Novel Functions of CD147 in the Mitochondria Exacerbates Melanoma Metastasis

    Researchers showed that CD147 was translocated from the cell membrane to the mitochondria in advanced melanoma. Melanoma patients with CD147 localized to the mitochondria conferred a worse prognosis.

    Differences of the Tumor Cell Glycocalyx Affect Binding of Capsaicin-Loaded Chitosan Nanocapsules

    Exome sequencing data of cancer patients and analysis of distinct melanoma and bladder cancer cell lines suggested differences in cancer cell-exposed glycocalyx components such as heparan sulfate. Scientists indicated that glycocalyx differences affected the binding of cationic chitosan nanocapsules.
