March 2018 in “Archives of Toxicology” This study found that PM2.5 exposure induced oxidative stress in human keratinocytes and mouse skin, causing cellular damage, which was mitigated by the antioxidant N-acetyl cysteine.
May 2021 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This research discusses a zebrafish model showing that nicastrin deficiency leads to tyrosinase-dependent depigmentation and melanophore cell death, suggesting implications for studying skin depigmentation disorders.
This study found that low-level laser therapy may enhance wound healing and reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation by increasing mitochondrial activity and oxidative stress, leading to greater protein synthesis and cell proliferation.
December 2021 in “OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University)” This study found that knocking out the Hars2 gene in mouse cochlear hair cells led to mitochondrial dysfunction and ROS stress, resulting in progressive hearing loss and differential effects on inner and outer hair cells.
April 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study identified mefloquine as a potent inducer of lethal ER stress that effectively eliminated vemurafenib-resistant and sensitive melanoma cells, suggesting its potential for repurposing as a melanoma treatment.
