April 2015 in “Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery” This article discusses the role of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons in plastic and reconstructive surgery education but presents no new research findings.
January 2014 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Proteins like aPKC and PDGF-AA, substances like adenosine and ATP, and adipose-derived stem cells all play important roles in hair growth and health, and could potentially be used to treat hair loss and skin conditions.
January 2014 in “eScholarship (California Digital Library)” In this study, researchers observed that TLR3 and scavenger receptors play key roles in skin barrier repair following UVB damage, contributing to our understanding of cellular responses to skin injury.
October 2010 in “Epilepsy Currents” This study found that inhibitory neurosteroids synthesized within glial cells can reduce seizure frequency in epileptic animals by enhancing inhibitory transmission via γ-aminobutyric acid receptors.
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.
February 2025 in “Journal of Clinical Investigation” This study found that RNase L acts as a regeneration repressor gene in mammals, as seen in Rnasel-/- mice which showed increased regenerative capacity and elevated Wound Induced Hair Neogenesis through enhanced IL-36α signaling, suggesting a tradeoff between regeneration and immune regulation.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” RNase L suppresses regeneration in mammals.
