Article Abstract
is an edible halophyte and an ingredient in traditional Korean medicine. In the present study, isopimpinellin (IPN), a bioactive coumarin, was isolated from the medicinal halophyte , and the effects of IPN against UVA-induced photoaging were investigated in human dermal fibroblasts. Photoaging is a skin disorder that manifests itself as premature skin aging due to chronic exposure to UV radiation. The symptoms of photoaging mainly arise from degraded skin connective tissue produced by overly expressed matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). IPN treatment decreased the UVA-induced formation of reactive oxygen species and decreased MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-9 collagenases at the protein level. The UVA-mediated suppression of tissue inhibitors of MMP-1 and -2 was attenuated with IPN. The presence of 10 μM IPN inhibited the MAPK-mediated phosphorylation of c-Fos and c-Jun. In conclusion, the overall result of the current study indicated that IPN inhibited the UVA-induced overexpression of MMPs via blocking the MAPK/AP-1 pathway.

Plantar melanomas present unique diagnostic and surgical challenges owing to substantial regional variations in skin thickness. Although the Breslow thickness remains the primary criterion for staging and surgical excision, its application on plantar melanoma is complicated by the inherent thickness of the glabrous plantar epidermis, which may lead to tumor depth overestimation. Accurate assessment of plantar skin thickness is essential for optimizing staging accuracy and refining surgical margins.

Conventional radiotherapy based on X rays is used to treat more than 50% of cancers. Although effective, radiotherapy can damage healthy tissues around the tumor due to the X-ray dose deposition profile, as well as the safety margin needed to compensate for dose uncertainties. A notable side effect is cellular senescence, characterized by the cessation of cell division while maintaining metabolic activity and promoting the secretion of various components, called the senescence-associated secretory phenotype.

This study aimed to develop an acellular dermal matrix derived from tilapia skin and evaluate its potential as a bioscaffold for skin wound repair. Structural and compositional changes before and after decellularisation were assessed through histological staining, electron microscopy and immunological analysis. The matrix exhibited low immunogenicity, preserved extracellular matrix architecture and retained key bioactive components.

Dermal fillers have gained increasing popularity for their ability to enhance facial symmetry, restore volume, and improve skin texture. However, their use in patients with cancer undergoing active chemotherapy and radiation therapy poses unique challenges, as these treatments can alter both the safety profile and efficacy of filler procedures. Chemotherapy can interfere with normal wound healing and immune responses, warranting a more cautious and individualized approach when considering dermal fillers in this population.

Skin scar formation is a critical pathological process in wound healing, but its underlying regulatory mechanisms remain incompletely elucidated. By integrating analyses of Bulk-RNA seq and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data, we identified that ferroptosis-related biological processes potentially play a key role in skin scar formation. Further mechanistic studies demonstrated that in human dermal fibroblast cells, the ferroptosis regulator TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 1 (TIMP1) significantly promotes fibroblast differentiation toward a mature phenotype through interactions with cystatin C (CST3), characterized by upregulated expression of myofibroblast differentiation markers such as α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), along with enhanced cell proliferation and migration abilities.
