    Allele Specific CRISPR/Cas9 Editing of Dominant Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex in Human Epidermal Stem Cells

    Through the CRISPR/Cas9 system, researchers performed a specific cleavage only on the mutant allele and restored a normal cellular phenotype and a correct intermediate filament network, without affecting the epidermal stem cells, which played a crucial role in epidermal regeneration.

    Has-miR-300—GADD45B Promotes Melanoma Growth via Cell Cycle

    Through transcriptomic analysis of primary and metastatic melanoma, it was confirmed that in metastatic samples, some of the 97 down-regulated genes participate in maintaining skin homeostasis while 42 up-regulated genes were enriched in cancer-related functions.
