May 2011 in “APOPTOSIS” In this study, cisplatin was found to induce cell death in human hair follicle cells through hydroxyl radical generation and Bcl-2 down-regulation, suggesting potential strategies for preventing chemotherapy-induced alopecia.
November 2022 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that different stressors causing premature senescence in fibroblasts resulted in distinct changes in lipid profiles, particularly sphingolipids, which may affect the behavior of senescent skin cells.
In this study, researchers developed de novo designed hetero-bifunctional proteins as an alternative approach for targeted protein degradation, successfully targeting BCL-xL for degradation in cells and inducing apoptosis, which may expand the range of addressable E3 ligases and disease targets.

September 2012 in “PloS one” This study found that in Arabidopsis seedlings, tonoplast intrinsic proteins are targeted to the vacuole via at least two pathways, including pathways with differing sensitivity to a chemical inhibitor that affect root hair growth and PIN2 targeting.
