September 2024 in “Science Translational Medicine” This study provides a comprehensive framework for understanding, managing, and addressing skin fibrosis, highlighting common pathways and new therapeutic opportunities for various fibrosis-related disorders that currently lack effective treatments.
June 2026 in “Frontiers in Immunology” This review discusses the role of epithelial–mesenchymal transition in cutaneous fibrotic disorders and highlights potential molecular targets for therapy, but reports no new clinical results.
October 2025 in “Clinical Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology” This study synthesizes knowledge of how dendritic cell signals, epithelial integrins, and fibroblast activity converge on TGF-β1 to maintain or disrupt skin healing, contrasting normal and fibrotic scar formation and suggesting possible integrin and immune-targeted treatments for skin fibrosis.
This pilot study found that a high fat lard diet may protect against fibrosis and affect the hair follicle cycle in a mouse model of systemic sclerosis, unlike a high fat coconut oil diet.
April 2024 in “Authorea (Authorea)” This review summarizes techniques like Raman spectroscopy, nanoindentation, and small-angle X-ray scattering to explore the biophysical interactions in collagen fibers, aiming to enhance understanding of fibroblast behavior and mechanisms involved in organ fibrosis and healing processes.
