    BNIP3
    Promotes HIF-1α-Driven Melanoma Growth by Curbing Intracellular Iron Homeostasis

    Scientists found that BNIP3‐deprived melanoma cells displayed increased intracellular iron levels caused by heightened NCOA4‐mediated ferritinophagy, which fostered PHD2‐mediated HIF‐1α destabilization.

    Abstract

    Staphylococcus cohnii
    Is a Potentially Biotherapeutic Skin Commensal Alleviating Skin Inflammation

    Scientists found that Tmem79−/− mice spontaneously developed interleukin-17-producing T-cell-driven skin inflammation. Comparative skin microbiome analysis revealed that the disease activity index was negatively associated with S. cohnii.

    Abstract

    Hydrogel
    Containing (1 → 6)-β-D-Glucan (Lasiodiplodan) Effectively Promotes Dermal Wound Healing

    β-glucan was studied as a healing biomaterial that had not been reported in the scientific literature. LAS produced by the ascomycete Lasiodiplodia theobromae MMPI was used in the formulation of a healing hydrogel.

    Abstract

    Inhibitory
    Effects of Cycloheterophyllin on Melanin Synthesis

    In order to elucidate the inhibitory effects of cycloheterophyllin on the B16F10 cell line, cell viability, messenger ribonucleic acid expressions, tyrosinase activity assay, and melanin production assay were measured.
