    The Pioneer Factor SOX9 Competes for Epigenetic Factors to Switch Stem Cell Fates

    By engineering mice to re-activate SOX9 in adult embryonic epidermal stem cells, the authors triggered fate switching. Combining epigenetic, proteomic and functional analyses, they interrogated the ensuing chromatin and transcriptional dynamics.

    Abstract

    Evaluation of DNA Lesions and Radicals Generated by a 233 nm Far-UVC LED in Superficial Ex Vivo Skin Wounds

    Researchers assessed how a disruption of normal anatomic skin structure and function influenced the skin damage induced by light from 233 nm far-far-ultraviolet C (UVC) LEDs by inducing superficial skin wounds via mechanical detachment of the stratum corneum in ex vivo human skin.

    Inhibition of p90 Ribosomal S6 Kinases Disrupts Melanoma Cell Growth and Immune Evasion

    p90 ribosomal S6 kinases activity and the functional effects of its inhibition by specific small molecule inhibitors were investigated in established melanoma cell lines and patient-derived short-term cultures from different mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway-hyperactivated genomic subgroups.

    Rg3-Loaded P407/CS/HA Hydrogel Inhibits UVB-Induced Oxidative Stress, Inflammation and Apoptosis in HaCaT Cells

    Ginsenoside Rg3 was loaded into hydrogel and the effect of Rg3-Gel against UVB‑induced HaCat cells damages was determined by measuring its ability to alleviate UVB‑induced elevation of oxidative stress, pro-inflammatory and apoptotic response.

    REDD1 (Regulated in Development and DNA Damage 1) Modulates the Glucocorticoid Receptor Function in Keratinocytes

    Previously, scientists discovered that one of the glucocorticoid receptor target genes, REDD1, was causatively involved in skin atrophy. Here, they investigated its role in glucocorticoid receptor function using HaCaT REDD1 knockout keratinocytes.
