| The authors showed that, in contrast to most pathogen-induced cytokines, interleukin-24 was predominately induced by barrier epithelial progenitors after tissue injury and was independent of microbiome or adaptive immunity. [Cell] |

| By single-cell RNAseq, investigators showed that MYC/NICD “rejuvenated” the adult mouse cochlea by activating multiple pathways including Wnt and cyclase activator of cyclic AMP, whose blockade suppressed cochlear hair cell-like cell regeneration despite Myc/Notch activation.

|
| Researchers demonstrated that G2 cells were required to initiate normal levels of Ca2+ signaling, while connexin43 connected basal cells to orchestrate tissue-wide coordination of Ca2+ signaling. [Journal Of Cell Biology] |

|
| The expression of nuclear receptor coactivator 4 (NCOA4), a key factor that influenced ferritinophagy, was decreased in both diabetic wound tissue and high glucose-induced senescent fibroblasts. [Cell Death Discovery] |

|
| XTT and LDH tests on fibroblasts and keratinocytes were performed to assess the cytotoxicity of the RADA16-I hybrids, while the viability of cells treated with RADA16-I hybrids was evaluated in a model of human dermal fibroblasts. [Scientific Reports] |

|
| Scientists showed that most melanocyte stem cells toggled between transit-amplifying and stem cell states for both self-renewal and generation of mature progeny, a mechanism fundamentally distinct from those of other self-renewing systems. [Nature] |

|
| Investigators focused on Slc46a2, which was highly expressed in mammalian epidermal keratinocytes, and showed that it was critical for the delivery of diaminopimelic acid-muropeptides and activation of NOD1 in keratinocytes. [Immunity] |

|
| Mechanistically, macrophages mediated psoriasis via the Mincle-Syk-NF-κB pathway, as blocking macrophage Mincle inhibited Syk/NF-κB-driven skin lesions and epidermal injury in vivo and in vitro. [Cell Death Discovery] |

|
|
| Researchers found that heat stress promoted melanogenesis in pigment cells by increasing the paracrine effects of keratinocytes, and high-throughput RNA sequencing showed that heat stress activated the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway in keratinocytes. [iScience] |

|
| Scientists describe a new understanding of melanocyte biology and the different melanocyte subpopulations and microenvironments they inhabit, and how this provides unique insights into melanoma initiation and progression. [Nature Reviews Cancer] |

|
| The authors summarize small interfering RNA (siRNA)-based nanotherapeutics for treating skin disorders, inlcuding the mechanisms involved, the different nanoparticle types used for siRNA skin delivery, and how nanoparticles enhance siRNA skin penetration. [Expert Opinion On Drug Delivery] |

| The nine-year wait for new clinical data on Promore Pharma’s ensereptide has ended in disaster, with the failure of the polypeptide to reduce scarring in a midphase trial wounding the biotech’s share price. [Fierce Biotech] |
