|
| Investigators reported a simple method to generate materials in mammalian cells by chemically fabricating intracellular melanin. Their approach exploited synthetic tyrosine derivatives to hijack the melanin biosynthesis pathway in melanocytes. [Journal of the American Chemical Society] |

|
| The authors showed that miR-148a, through its gene targets, played an important role in regulating skin homeostasis and hair follicle cycling. [Journal of Investigative Dermatology] |
|
|
|
| To probe the molecular underpinnings of the mechanisms linking mechanical cues to changes in gene expression and cellular behavior, researchers used the down-regulation of caspase-8 as a biomarker of a cell entering the wound healing program. [PLoS Biology] |

|
|
| Scientists used an air-liquid interface culture method to recapitulate structural features representative of human skin tissue, and to model atopic dermatitis by Staphylococcus aureus colonization and infection. [iScience] |

|
|
| Combining prevascularization and microfluidic approaches, investigators presented a vascularized, three-dimensional skin-on-chip that mimicked human skin architecture and was competent to immune-cell and drug perfusion. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Researchers performed comprehensive genomic profiling of Merkel cell polyomavirus + (MCPyV+) and MCPyV− tumors, to better understand their mutational profiles and shed light on their pathogenesis. [Modern Pathology] |
| |
|
|
|
| Scientists provide an update on the recent efforts to regenerate appendage-bearing skin organs based on scaffold-free and scaffold-based bioengineering approaches. [Advanced Healthcare Materials] |
|
|
|
| The authors summarize advancements made in understanding and treating melanoma, and discuss the progress made towards developing melanoma models, their applications, limitations, and the advances still needed. [Experimental Dermatology] |

|
| Bristol Myers Squibb announced that the European Commission has approved the fixed-dose combination of Opdualag (nivolumab and relatlimab) for the first-line treatment of advanced, unresectable or metastatic, melanoma in adults and adolescents 12 years of age and older. [Bristol Myers Squibb] |
