Reporting in Nature, Ravichandran and colleagues now show that airway epithelial cells can engulf apoptotic epithelial cells and establish an anti-inflammatory environment that limits allergic ...

Retinoids are potent agents that can normalize abnormal growth and differentiation in keratinocytes (American Academy of Dermatology [AAD], 2003). Topical retinoids also demonstrate inhibition of ...

“Retinoids can help treat acne blackheads and clogged pores by speeding up the rate at which skin regenerates and sloughing away the keratinocytes, which are cells on the outermost layer of skin.

Intriguingly, the hydrogels can induce the expression of the antimicrobial peptides RNase 7 and psoriasin, promoting host-mediated bacterial killing in human keratinocytes (HaCaT). Moreover, treatment ...

From this, we developed multiple independent approaches in wild-type (and mutant) cells at low t-2-hex concentrations, demonstrating that proteostasis and mitochondrial protein trafficking are ...

The remainder undergo apoptotic death and removal. Apoptosis continues throughout life and is the central mechanism for the removal of surplus, unwanted, damaged or aged cells. Dysregulation of ...

It is hoped that these findings may open promising new applications for these materials, specifically in regenerative therapies of skin cancer surgery, where the nontoxic abilities of healthy ...
