Article Abstract

Local responses of skin tissue to external stimuli are complex, thus exceeding the capability of in vitro methods but do not need the complexity of a whole organism to be simulated. Therefore, we established a human ex vivo skin model in our lab to study the local effects of various stimuli, such as burns and local topic treatments. In this chapter, we describe the experimental setup of the ex vivo model and additional technology of collecting dermal interstitial fluid. Further, we describe how exosome-like vesicles can be enriched from the dermal interstitial fluid, including their proof via nanoparticle tracking.

Importance: Increasingly, strategies to systematically detect melanomas invoke targeted approaches, whereby those at highest risk are prioritized for skin screening. Many tools exist to predict future melanoma risk, but most have limited accuracy and are potentially biased.

Objectives: To develop an improved melanoma risk prediction tool for invasive melanoma.

Defective wounds pose health risks, and treatment is challenging. Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) show promise for healing. Primary UCMSCs were isolated and extracted in vitro, and the proliferation and differentiation characteristics were detected by flow cytometry and trilineage differentiation, and a 3D spherical cell culture was performed.

Natural phytoconstituents such as betanin and curcumin have attracted interest for their significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Their therapeutic efficacy is notably constrained by inadequate bioavailability and reduced skin permeability. The current study developed an ethosome-based gel system for the delivery of betanin and curcumin, with the objective of improving transdermal penetration and providing sustained anti-inflammatory effects.

Pufferfish exhibit the smallest vertebrate genomes, making them ideal models for investigating evolutionary patterns and processes that affect genome size. While the Takifugu rubripes genome was fully sequenced two decades ago, key evolutionary drivers remain elusive. We sequenced 10 pufferfish genomes and generated 35 transcriptomes and 13 methylomes to understand genomic evolutionary mechanisms.
