    Development of Chitosan/Poly (Vinyl Alcohol)/Graphene Oxide Loaded with Vanadium Doped Titanium Dioxide Patch for Visible Light Driven Antibacterial Activity and Accelerated Wound Healing Application

    The authors suggested that Graphene Oxide loaded with vanadium doped titanium dioxide blended with chitosan, and polyvinyl alcohol (CS/PVA/GO/TiO2-V) patch provided a microenvironment favourable to cell growth.

    FOXM1 Accelerates Wound Healing in Diabetic Foot Ulcer by Inducing M2 Macrophage Polarization through a Mechanism Involving SEMA3C/NRP2/Hedgehog Signaling

    Scientists illustrated the molecular mechanisms by which Forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) enhanced M2 polarization and wound healing of diabetic foot ulcer.

    Abstract

    SOX10 Regulates Melanoma Immunogenicity through an IRF4-IRF1 Axis

    Researchers demonstrated that the transcription factor SOX10 hindered immunogenicity of melanoma cells through the IRF4-IRF1 axis. Genetic and pharmacological approaches revealed that SOX10 repressed IRF1 transcription via direct induction of a negative regulator, IRF4.

    Abstract

    Carbon Ion Radiotherapy Boosts Anti-Tumor Immune Responses by Inhibiting Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells in Melanoma-Bearing Mice

    The abundance of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in the tumor microenvironment was associated with therapeutic efficacy and disease outcome. Scientists analyzed the changes in the immune contexture in response to the carbon ion treatment.

    Dibenzoylmethane Derivative Inhibits Melanoma Cancer In Vitro and In Vivo through Induction of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Apoptotic Pathways

    The authors found that 1,3-diphenyl-2-benzyl-1,3-propanedione (DPBP) had high in vitro antineoplastic activity against murine B16F10 melanoma cells and used transdermal and topical formulations of DPBP to evaluate its activity in a murine model of melanoma.

    Ibrutinib Blocks YAP1 Activation and Reverses BRAFi Resistance in Melanoma Cells

    Investigators utilized a computational approach to identify inhibitors that reversed experimentally derived B-raf proto-oncogene inhibitors (BRAFi) resistance gene expression signature and demonstrated experimentally that ibrutinib re-sensitized a subset of BRAFi-resistant melanoma cells to vemurafenib.

    Tpl2 Contributes to IL-1β-Induced IL-8 Expression via ERK1/2 Activation in Canine Dermal Fibroblasts

    Scientists established a model for interleukin 1β (IL-1β)-induced dermatitis and investigated mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways in IL-1β-induced interleukin 8 (IL-8) expression.

    High Salt Diet Impairs Dermal Tissue Remodeling in a Mouse Model of IMQ Induced Dermatitis

    Researchers studied the effect of dietary salt loading on inflammatory process and related extracellular matrix remodeling in the skin. The effect of high salt concentration on dermal fibroblasts and peripheral blood mononuclear cells was investigated in vitro.

    Abstract

    Novel Possibility for Cutaneous Melanoma Treatment by Means of Rosmarinic Acid Action on Purinergic Signaling

    The authors explore and propose hypotheses with respect to the possibility that rosmarinic acid can be a promising and alternative compound to be used as an adjuvant in melanoma treatment, acting on purinergic signaling.
