    Loss of NECTIN1 Triggers Melanoma Dissemination upon Local IGF1 Depletion

    Investigators found that NECTIN1 loss stimulated melanoma cell migration in vitro and spreading in vivo in both zebrafish and human tumors, specifically in response to decreased IGF1 signaling.

    A Mechanical G2 Checkpoint Controls Epithelial Cell Division through E-Cadherin-Mediated Regulation of Wee1-Cdk1

    Researchers showed that epithelial cells sensed local cell density through mechanosensitive E-cadherin adhesions to control G2/M cell-cycle progression. As local cell density increased, tensile forces on E-cadherin adhesions were reduced, which prompted downstream inhibitory phosphorylation of Cdk1.

    Rapid Culture of Human Keratinocytes in an Autologous, Feeder-Free System with a Novel Growth Medium

    Scientists have identified a novel culture medium for the rapid growth of keratinocytes from human skin. “Kelch’s medium” supports keratinocyte growth that was as rapid as in the classical Rheinwald and Green method, but without the need for cholera toxin or xenogeneic feeder cells.

    Ezh2Y641F Mutations Co-Operate with Stat3 to Regulate MHC Class I Antigen Processing and Alter the Tumor Immune Response in Melanoma

    Researchers found that expression of Ezh2Y641F caused upregulation of a subset of interferon-regulated genes in melanoma cells. Upregulation of these genes was not a direct effect of changes in H3K27me3, but via a non-canonical interaction between Ezh2 and Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3.

    Cancer Stem Cell Antigen Nanodisc Cocktail Elicits Anti-Tumor Immune Responses in Melanoma

    Scientists identified novel immunogenic peptide epitopes derived from CSC-associated Sox2 and Nanog, and synthesized synthetic high-density lipoprotein nanodisc vaccine formulated with Sox2, Nanog, and aldehyde dehydrogenase antigen peptides together with CpG, a Toll-like receptor 9 agonist.

    The Cancermuts Software Package for the Prioritization of Missense Cancer Variants: A Case Study of AMBRA1 in Melanoma

    The authors applied Cancermuts, a free bioinformatics software package, to the intrinsically disordered protein AMBRA1, a key regulator of many cellular processes frequently deregulated in cancer. By these means, they classified mutations of AMBRA1 in melanoma, where AMBRA1 is highly mutated and displays a tumor-suppressive role.

    Advances in the Modulation of ROS and Transdermal Administration for Anti-Psoriatic Nanotherapies

    Scientists emphasize the underlying molecular mechanism of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based nanoreactors for improved therapeutic outcomes against psoriasis, and summarize up-to-date progress relating to the advantages and limitations of nanotherapeutic application for transdermal administration.

    Epidermolysis Bullosa: A Review of the Tissue-Engineered Skin Substitutes Used to Treat Wounds

    The authors provide an overview of the different tissue-engineered skin substitutes that have been investigated in clinical studies to treat patients with epidermolysis bullosa. Where available, they describe the methods used to develop these products to inform future efforts in this field.
