    CD14 Involvement in Third-Degree Skin Burn-Induced Myocardial Injury via the MAPK Signaling Pathway

    Scientists showed that treatment with burn serum could significantly upregulated the phosphorylation level of extracellular signal-regulated kinase, p38, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase and the expression of cleaved caspase-3 and downregulated the expression of Bcl2 when compared with those in negative control of small interfering RNA transfected H9C2 cells

    Abstract

    Effect of 3D-Fibroblast Dermis Constructed by Layer-by-Layer Cell Coating Technique on Tight Junction Formation and Function in Full-Thickness Skin Equivalent

    Researchers investigated the effect of the 3D-fibroblast dermis on the expression of tight junction (TJ)-related proteins and TJ function in layer-by-layer-3D Skin.

    CDK7 and MITF Repress a Transcription Program Involved in Survival and Drug Tolerance in Melanoma

    The authors showed that dedifferentiation of melanocytic-type melanoma cells into mesenchymal-like cells and acquisition of tolerance to targeted therapies was achieved through chronic inhibition of CDK7.

    Abstract

    SIRT7 Gene Knockout Using CRISPR/Cas9 System Enhances Melanin Production in the Melanoma Cells

    SIRT7 has evoked an interest in the study of hair follicle stem cells, but its role in melanin synthesis remains unclear. Investigators developed SIRT7 gene knock out melanoma cells using the CRISPR/Cas9 system.

    Abstract

    Synergistic Effect of Cold Atmospheric Pressure Plasma and Free or Liposomal Doxorubicin on Melanoma Cells

    Researchers investigated combined effects of cold atmospheric plasma and the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin on murine and human melanoma cells, and normal cells.

    Progression of Melanoma Is Suppressed by Targeting All Transforming Growth Factor-β Isoforms with an FC Chimeric Receptor

    Scientists revealed that TβRI‑TβRII‑Fc chimeric receptor suppressed the epithelial‑mesenchymal transition program in melanoma cells in vitro induced by any of the three TGF‑β isoforms, as revealed by decreased expression of mesenchymal markers.

    Antigen Processing, Presentation, and Tolerance: Role in Autoimmune Skin Diseases

    Increased autoantigen presentation by HLA molecules, cross-activation of pathogen-induced T cells against autologous structures, altered metabolism of self-proteins, and excessive production of proinflammatory signals may all contribute to the breakdown of immune tolerance and the development of autoimmune skin diseases.
