This study found that patients with Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis exhibit lower levels and activity of DNase1, impairing NET degradation, and suggests DNase1 administration as a potential treatment.

The researchers reported that applying proteolytic enzymes to mice skin negatively affected hair follicles, leading to degeneration and potential impairment of stem cells from the bulge area.

This study found that enzyme depilation of lambskins can cause damage due to the removal of collagen VI, suggesting the need for a protease that avoids this interaction for successful application.

This study developed a biobased copolymer called SELP::KP, showing improved hair strength, elasticity, and conditioning properties while being a safer alternative to conventional chemical treatments, based on application to human hair in a laboratory setting.

This study used in-silico analyses to investigate papain's potential as a fibrinolytic agent and found that certain fibrin peptides displayed strong interactions with papain, suggesting it may be beneficial for cardiovascular disease treatment.

RNase L suppresses regeneration in mammals.

In this study, researchers identified a highly reactive, isozyme-specific sequence for TGase 3, contributing to understanding its distinct functional role and activity distribution in the mouse epidermis.

This report describes the successful resolution of an epidermoid cyst using a minimally invasive approach with intralesional injection of recombinant enzymes.

This study found that astrotactin-2 undergoes unique intramembrane proteolysis during maturation, revealing specific transmembrane topologies and substrate sequence requirements for cleavage.

In this study, applying the microbial enzyme transglutaminase from Streptomyces mobaraensis to damaged hair increased its tensile strength by 15.64%, suggesting potential benefits in repairing shampoo-induced damage and improving hair luster.

This study found that the catalytically inactive serine protease CAP1/Prss8 can still induce skin disorders in mice and is subject to inhibition by nexin-1, independent of its catalytic activity.

This study found that a unique transglutaminase in guinea pig hair-follicles, distinct from liver transglutaminase, likely plays a role in forming protein cross-links via ε(γ-glutamyl)lysine bonds.

This study showed that keratinase pretreatment effectively reduces the time for enzymatic unhairing in bovine hides by opening channels for faster penetration, which shortens the process by over 50% and enhances leather quality.

This study found that Cathepsin E plays a crucial role in keratinocyte terminal differentiation, affecting epidermis formation and homeostasis in mice.

PRSS35 enzyme may help start skin tumors and could be a target for cancer treatment.

This study reported that methanolic extracts from marine sponges, particularly Petrosia sp. and Agelas nakamurai, showed significant enzyme inhibitory activities, with Petrosia sp. exhibiting notable 5?-reductase inhibition.

ATR12-351 ointment safely delivers LEKTI protein to the skin, reducing enzyme activity in Netherton syndrome.

This study suggests that type IV collagenases, MMP-2 and MMP-9, play important roles in the hair cycle by regulating the expression of VEGF, IGF-1, and TGF-β in mice.

This study found that proteolytic activities in murine skin vary with hair cycle stages, with significant collagenase activity during the early anagen phase.

This abstract provides a comprehensive overview of enzyme classification, function, and interaction with drugs, but does not present new research findings.

This review examines the clinicopathologic features of perifollicular elastolysis and indicates that, while its presentation is consistent, there is a lack of high-certainty evidence for effective treatments.

This study isolated and characterized two distinct types of caspase-like proteases from human epidermis, suggesting their involvement in keratinocyte differentiation and apoptosis processes.

This study reported that patterns of fibrosis identified through elastin staining may help distinguish specific forms of primary cicatricial alopecia in biopsy specimens, with certain patterns suggesting particular diagnoses.

This review discusses the significance of elastic tissue staining in dermatopathology, particularly for diagnosing primary elastic tissue disorders and other skin conditions, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that (-)-blebbistatin significantly inhibited liver fibrosis in mouse models by reducing tissue stiffness and myofibroblast activation, indicating potential for developing broad-spectrum antifibrotic drugs.

This study identified that dominant mutations in the KLHL24 gene cause epidermolysis bullosa through dysregulated autoubiquitination, leading to excessive degradation of keratin 14.

This study found that mouse and human protransglutaminase 3 enzymes require calcium-regulated activation for their role in later stages of cell envelope formation in the epidermis and hair follicle.
