    Fibroblast Inflammatory Priming Determines Regenerative Versus Fibrotic Skin Repair in Reindeer

    Single-cell multi-omics revealed that uninjured reindeer velvet fibroblasts resembled human fetal fibroblasts, whereas reindeer back skin fibroblasts expressed inflammatory mediators mimicking pro-fibrotic adult human and rodent fibroblasts.

    SCD1 Sustains Homeostasis of Bulge Niche via Maintaining Hemidesmosomes in Basal Keratinocytes

    Fatty acid desaturation catabolized by stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturase 1 (SCD1) regulated hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) and hair growth by maintaining the bulge, niche for HFSCs.

    In Situ Sprayed Biotherapeutic Gel Containing Stable Microbial Communities for Efficient Anti-Infection Treatment

    The biotherapeutic gel was constructed by incorporating stable microbial communities (kombucha) capable of producing antimicrobial substances and organic acids into thermosensitive Pluronic F127 (polyethylene-polypropylene glycol) solutions.

    Langerhans Cells Are Essential Components of the Angiogenic Niche during Murine Skin Repair

    The authors provide a map of the early angiogenic niche by analyzing single-cell RNA sequencing of mouse skin wound healing. The data implicate Langerhans cells, phagocytic, skin-resident immune cells, in driving angiogenesis during skin repair.

    A Multi-Omics Longitudinal Aging Dataset in Primary Human Fibroblasts with Mitochondrial Perturbations

    Scientists report a multi-omics longitudinal dataset for cultured primary human fibroblasts measured across their replicative lifespans. The dataset includes cytological, bioenergetic, DNA methylation, gene expression, secreted proteins, telomere length, whole-genome sequencing, and other measurements.

    CD1a Promotes Systemic Manifestations of Skin Inflammation

    CD1a is a virtually monomorphic major histocompatibility complex class I-like molecule, highly expressed by skin and mucosal Langerhans cells, and presents lipid antigens to T cells. Researchers showed an important role for CD1a in linking cutaneous and systemic inflammation in two experimental disease models.

    LY6D Marks Pre-Existing Resistant Basosquamous Tumor Subpopulations

    Using computational tools, organoids, and spatial tools, the authors showed that LY6D+ basosquamous cells represented a persister population lying on a central node along the skin lineage-associated spectrum of epithelial states.

    MEK Inhibition Enhances Presentation of Targetable MHC-I Tumor Antigens in Mutant Melanomas

    Researchers leveraged the tunable abundance of MEK inhibition-modulated antigens by targeting four epitopes with peptide major histocompatibility molecules (pMHC)-specific T cell engagers and antibody drug conjugates, enhancing cell killing in melanoma cells following MEK inhibition.

    BRD4 Inhibitor Suppresses Melanoma Metastasis via the SPINK6/EGFR-EphA2 Pathway

    Findings indicated that BET inhibition suppressed melanoma metastasis both in vitro and in vivo, and identified a new mechanism by which BET inhibitors blocked the direct interaction of BRD4 and the SPINK6 enhancer.

    The Origins of Skin Diversity: Lessons from Dermal Fibroblasts

    The authors first delineate what is known about the origins of the dermis and the central role of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in its specification across anatomical locations, and then discuss how one of the first morphologically recognizable fibroblast subtypes, the hair follicle dermal condensate lineage, emerges.
