research IL-9 Mediated Human Primary Keratinocytes Invasion Is Dependent on MLC Controlled Contractility and Independent of MMP Activity
IL-9 increases skin cell movement but decreases their ability to invade, and this effect is controlled by cell contractility, not by MMPs.
research Integration of Magnetic Tweezers and Traction Force Microscopy for Exploring the Mechanobiology of Keratinocyte Cell-Cell and Cell-Matrix Anchoring Junctions
The conclusion is that a new method combining magnetic tweezers and traction force microscopy may help understand skin cell interactions and diseases.
research Topical Application of Anti-Cancer Drug Bortezomib Stimulates Proliferation of Follicular Cells and Induces Expression of Hair Keratins via GATA-3 Transcription Factor
Applying the anti-cancer drug Bortezomib to skin can promote hair growth and increase hair proteins through the GATA-3 factor.
research Loss of Langerhans Cells in Scar Lesion of Lichen Planopilaris Is Caused by Downregulation of Integrin αvβ6 in the Epidermal Keratinocytes
Scarred skin in lichen planopilaris loses immune cells due to a decrease in a specific protein in skin cells.
research Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Derived Keratinocyte Differentiation from Reprogrammed Blood Cells
Blood cells turned into stem cells can become skin cells similar to normal ones, potentially helping in skin therapies.
research Downregulation of Nuclear Factor-KappaB Activation in Human Keratinocytes by Melanogenesis Inhibitors
