    Zirconium-Based Metal-Organic Framework Capable of Binding Proinflammatory Mediators in Hydrogel Form Promotes Wound Healing Process through a Multiscale Adsorption Mechanism

    The MOF-808 crystals were applied to in vivo skin wound model as a hydrogel dispersion. The hydrogel containing 0.2 wt% MOF-808 crystals showed significant improvement in terms of wound healing efficacy and quality over the corresponding control.

    Abstract

    Mesenchyme Governs Hair Follicle Induction

    Investigators performed epithelial-mesenchymal tissue recombination experiments using hair-forming back skin and glabrous plantar skin from mouse embryos to unveil that the back skin mesenchyme was inductive even before dermal condensate formation.

    Abstract

    Invasion-Block and S-MARVEL: A High-Content Screening and Image Analysis Platform Identifies ATM Kinase as a Modulator of Melanoma Invasion and Metastasis

    Abrogation of Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase inhibitors expression in melanoma cells via CRISPR-mediated gene knockout reduced 3D invasion in vitro as well as spontaneous lymph node metastasis in vivo.

    Abstract

    Long Non-Coding RNA PVT1 Is Overexpressed in Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Exon 2 Is Critical for Its Oncogenicity

    The expression level of plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) was quantified in normal skin, premalignant skin lesion actinic keratosis and cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas by qRT-PCR and single molecule in situ hybridization.
