    Preservation of Epidermal Melanocyte Integrity in an Ex Vivo Co-Culture Skin Model with Sebocytes

    Results revealed preservation and prominent proliferation of basal keratinocytes of the skin explants in addition to preservation of dermal collagen and vasculature at day six in the 3D-SeboSkin culture model, and to a lesser extent in co-culture with fibroblasts, but not in serum-free medium alone.

    Abstract

    Targeting Lymphoid-Derived IL-17 Signaling to Delay Skin Aging

    Mechanistically, aberrant interleukin (IL)-17 signalled through NF-κB in epidermal cells to impair homeostatic functions while promoting an inflammatory state.

    Peptide-Based Double-Network Hydrogels for Melanoma Treatment and Wound Healing Promotion

    The peptide/polyvinyl alcohol double-network hydrogels were found to have good anti-cancer efficacy and target mouse melanoma cells B16-F10 while being nontoxic to normal cells.

    SLC35E1 Promotes Keratinocyte Proliferation in Psoriasis by Regulating Zinc Homeostasis

    SLC35E1 deficiency inhibited keratinocyte proliferation in both mice and cultured cells. On a molecular level, SLC35E1 was found to regulate zinc ion concentrations and subcellular localization, while zinc ion chelation reversed the imiquimod-induced psoriatic phenotype in Slc35e1−/− mice.

    MTAP-ANRIL Gene Fusion Promotes Melanoma Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition-Like Process by Activating the JNK and p38 Signaling Pathways

    Scientists found that MTAP-ANRIL gene fusion downregulated the expression of wild-type MTAP and promoted epithelial-mesenchymal transition-like process through the activation of JNK and p38 MAPKs in vitro and in vivo.
