November 2021 in “Frontiers in Immunology” This research reported that melatonin may serve as a potential treatment for both rosacea and Alzheimer's disease by regulating inflammation and vascular signaling pathways, demonstrating effectiveness in reducing symptoms associated with rosacea-like skin lesions in experimental settings.
This review synthesizes current advances in transcriptomics and RNA regulatory networks, alongside stem cell-derived skin organoid research, to propose a conceptual framework for understanding and potentially guiding regenerative skin repair, without claiming clinical readiness.
April 2024 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” In this study, researchers identified a gene regulatory network in Arabidopsis that controls root hair growth under low-temperature conditions, revealing specific transcription factors and downstream targets that contribute to this growth response despite overall plant development being halted.
