    TOP STORY

    Signaling by Senescent Melanocytes Hyperactivates Hair Growth

    Using genetic mouse models of nevi, the authors showed that dermal clusters of senescent melanocytes drove epithelial hair stem cells to exit quiescence and change their transcriptome and composition, potently enhancing hair renewal.

    Injury Prevents Ras Mutant Cell Expansion in Mosaic Skin

    Mechanistically, investigators showed that, unlike HrasG12V/+ cells, wild-type cells responded to autocrine and paracrine secretion of EGFR ligands, and this differential activation of the EGFR pathway explained the competitive switch during injury repair.

    The Long Non-Coding RNA NEAT1 Is a ΔNp63 Target Gene Modulating Epidermal Differentiation

    Upon induction of differentiation, ∆Np63 down-regulation was associated by a marked increase of NEAT1 RNA levels, resulting in an increased assembly of paraspeckles foci both in vitro and in human skin tissues.

    Novel Bilayer Cell Patch Combining Epidermal Stem Cells and Angiogenic Adipose Stem Cells for Diabetic Wound Healing

    Findings demonstrated that the bilayer cell patch combining epidermal stem cells and angiogenic-modified adipose-derived stem cells transplantation could promote diabetic wound healing through enhancing angiogenesis and re-epithelization.

    Targeting Collagen Damage for Sustained In Situ Antimicrobial Activities

    Scientists found that the dimeric antimicrobial peptide Feleucin-K3 (Flc) and a collagen hybridizing peptide conjugate design preserved the potent and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities of Flc, while significantly enhancing and extending its antimicrobial efficacy in vivo and facilitating tissue repair in a rat wound healing model.

    Progranulin Inhibits Fibrosis by Interacting with and Up-Regulating DNAJC3 during Mouse Skin Wound Healing

    Researchers reported that progranulin overexpression decreased the expression of profibrotic genes alpha-smooth muscle actin, serum response factor, and connective tissue growth factor, thereby inhibiting skin fibrosis during wound repair.

    Single-Cell RNA-Seq Reveals Actinic Keratosis-Specific Keratinocyte Subgroups and Their Crosstalk with Secretory-Papillary Fibroblasts

    Scientists employed single-cell RNA sequencing to examine the heterogeneity of keratinocytes and dermal fibroblast clusters in cctinic keratosis and adjacent normal skins.

    Abstract

    HOPX Is a Tumor-Suppressive Biomarker That Corresponds to T Cell Infiltration in Skin Cutaneous Melanoma

    Cellular assays verified that homeodomain-only protein homeobox (HOPX) inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of A375 cells, and promoted apoptosis and S-phase arrest. Tumor drug sensitivity analysis revealed that HOPX also played an important role in reducing clinical drug resistance.

    The Effect of GP-2250 on Cultured Virus-Negative Merkel Cell Carcinoma Cells: Preliminary Results

    Cell viability, proliferation, and migration decreased with increasing GP-2250 doses. Flow cytometry revealed a dose response to GP-2250 in all three Merkel cell carcinoma cell lines.
