July 2026 in “Frontiers in Immunology” This review highlights the role of epidermal tissue-resident memory T (T RM) cells in human skin, showing their involvement in immune surveillance and regulation within the epidermis, and suggesting their importance in understanding skin diseases like HIV infection and vitiligo.
September 2024 in “MedComm” This study by Bansaccal et al. found that skin with higher levels of type I collagen density and elasticity in the dermis can inhibit basal cell carcinoma development and spread by acting as a natural barrier against cell reprogramming in mice.
November 2022 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that skin organoids derived from iPSCs with an HS-associated NCSTN mutation showed defects in hair follicle stem cell differentiation and increased expression of inflammatory proteins related to hidradenitis suppurativa.
This study found that the loss of papillary fibroblasts in the skin due to UV radiation is mainly caused by an uncontrolled inflammatory response, with T cells helping fibroblast survival.
March 2021 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that the absence of Hif-p4h-2 in specific mouse skin cells disrupted hair follicle development, leading to hair loss due to irregular keratin formation and pathway signaling.
