    An Epigenetic Switch Controls an Alternative NR2F2 Isoform That Unleashes a Metastatic Program in Melanoma

    Investigators defined DNA methylation changes that accompany metastatic progression in melanoma patients and discovered Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 2 Group F, Member 2 – isoform 2 (NR2F2-Iso2) as an epigenetically regulated metastasis driver.

    Establishment of Killer Whale (Orcinus orca) Primary Fibroblast Cell Cultures and Their Transcriptomic Responses to Pollutant Exposure

    To investigate transcriptional responses to pollutants in killer whale cells, investigators collected skin biopsies of killer whales from the Northern Norwegian fjords and successfully established primary fibroblast cell cultures from the dermis of four out of five of them.

    Dasatinib Attenuates Fibrosis in Keloids by Decreasing Senescent Cell Burden

    The authors investigated senescent fibroblasts in keloids and assessed the effects of dasatinib on these cells. Tissues acquired from keloid removal surgery were analyzed for senescence-associated β-galactosidase-positive cells, p16 expression, and the effects of dasatinib treatment on keloids.

    Abstract

    Single Cell Transcriptomic Analysis of HPV16-Infected Epithelium Identifies a Keratinocyte Subpopulation Implicated in Cancer

    Single cell RNA sequencing of HPV16 infected compared to uninfected organoids identified 12 distinct keratinocyte populations, with a subset mapped to reconstruct their respective 3D geography in stratified squamous epithelium.

    Abstract

    CRISPR-Clear Imaging of Melanin-Rich B16-Derived Solid Tumors

    Researchers developed a CRISPR-based gene editing approach, which they termed CRISPR-Clear, that was easily incorporated into existing tissue-clearing workflows, and they demonstrated its applicability to highly melanin-rich B16-derived solid tumors.

    Abstract

    Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist: A Promising Cytokine against Human Squamous Cell Carcinomas

    Scientists review the antitumor potential of interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist as an IL-1-targeted inhibitor, in the context of human squamous cell carcinomas.
