This study identified altered expression of MMP-19 in the skin's epidermal layers during diseases like psoriasis and eczema, implying a role in disease processes.

This article reviews current therapies for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in chronic pancreatitis, highlighting the challenges in achieving optimal enzyme dosing and the potential need for treatment even in asymptomatic patients.

This report describes a 27-year-old patient with Ehler-Danlos syndrome who also presented with hypophosphatasia and mastocytosis, and suggests enzyme replacement therapy might alleviate symptoms in such overlapping genetic conditions.

This study found that keratin-75, discovered in enamel tissue, is secreted by ameloblasts using an unconventional pathway involving the ER-Golgi-Intermediate-Compartment and Golgi, differing from typical cytokeratin localization.

Matriptase is crucial for skin barrier, hair growth, and may contribute to skin cancer.

This study found that protease nexin-1 mRNA is expressed in human dermal papilla cells and is downregulated by dihydrotestosterone in balding scalp, suggesting a role in male-pattern baldness progression.

This study found that sustained ERK activity during tissue regeneration in spiny mice is linked to fibroblast growth factor and ErbB signaling, while inhibiting ERK shifted regeneration toward scarring.

This study found that combining Alexandrite laser with iontophoresis of chymotrypsin and papain enzymes reduced the laser pulse requirements compared to laser alone for treating paradoxical hypertrichosis in women with facial hirsutism, suggesting potential clinical benefits in managing this condition.

In this study, PINCH-1 gene loss in mouse epidermis led to detachment from the basement membrane, thickened skin, and hair loss, with findings suggesting PINCH-1 plays a role in keratinocyte adhesion through both ILK and EPLIN pathways.

In this study, researchers found that the expression of SLC1A6, a gene linked to calcium gradient and keratinocyte differentiation in the skin, significantly decreases with age, which may contribute to reduced skin barrier function in elderly individuals.

In this study, researchers developed enzymatic methods to isolate hair cuticle cells and remove the hair cuticle layer, finding that the harvested cuticle cells are thermally more stable and contain different structural proteins compared to descaled hair fibers.

Nano-liposol with astaxanthin may improve antioxidant and wound healing effects.

This study found that Gelatinase A activity is linked to the absence of type VII collagen during human fetal skin development, indicating its role in remodeling the basement membrane zone.

This study found that pepsin digestion was more effective than trypsin at identifying keratin-associated proteins in human hair shafts and confirmed that trypsin introduced a bias in the analysis of protein composition that pepsin can correct.

This study found that a papain-containing cream had a significantly greater depilatory effect and altered skin morphology more than a papain-containing gel when applied to mice.

This study suggests that ethyl acetate extract of Equisetum debile may be effective for functional food and nutraceutical use due to its strong 5α-reductase, IL-6 inhibition, and lipid peroxidation activities without cytotoxic effects.

This study suggests that using glycosidases to lyse the polysaccharides of Botryoccocus braunii may allow for the semi-continuous recovery of hydrocarbons while keeping the cells viable.

This study found that subcutaneous injections of certain chelators led to skin and hair depigmentation, increased skin elasticity, and disturbed hair growth in minks, without affecting fur quality.

This study found that compounds isolated from the Etlingera alba rhizome exhibited cytotoxic and anti-metastatic activity, with potential for development against Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

This review explores enzyme inhibitors from gorgonians and soft corals and highlights their potential industrial and biomedical applications, but it reports no new experimental results.

In this study, ebastine significantly increased the proliferation of human follicle dermal papilla cells and may contribute to hair regrowth by activating the ERK signaling pathway.

This study reports new fluorogenic ceramidase substrates and highlights RBM14C24:1 as an efficient substrate for neutral ceramidase, while RBM15C18:1 is the best probe for measuring ACER1 and ACER2 activities, potentially aiding high-throughput screening for ceramidase inhibitors.

In this study, UVB irradiation increased mast cell degranulation only when skin was innervated, suggesting that the interaction between mast cells and nerve fibres may exacerbate solar elastosis by promoting dysfunctional dermal elastic fiber accumulation, but further research is needed for confirmation.

This study found that Caspase-1, traditionally viewed as an inflammasome component, is secreted upon wounding and plays a novel role by triggering hair follicle stem cell migration into the epidermis, offering insights into epithelial hyperplasia mechanisms in inflammatory skin conditions.

This study found that alkylation of kerateine cysteine residues created a cell-compatible method for controlling hydrogel erosion rates and therapeutic agent release in keratin-based systems.

This research observed that removing RNase L in mice enhances regenerative capacity through increased IL-36 and wound-induced hair neogenesis, highlighting RNase L as a gene that represses regeneration by moderating immune responses during viral infections.

This study found that the extraction-resistant structures in hair, feathers, and hagfish teeth are due to ε-(γ-glutamyl)lysine cross-linked proteins, emphasizing their role in maintaining the integrity of these materials.

This perspective reviews enzyme-instructed self-assembly (EISA) as a conceptual framework for supramolecular chemical biology, emphasizing its innovative role in developing adaptive biomaterials and synthetic cellular machines without providing new experimental results.

This study found that stilbamidine and hydroxystilbamidine can inhibit the release of specific enzymes from lysosomes and mitochondria in rabbit liver at certain concentrations, with effects similar to cortisol and chloroquine.
