Human skin equivalents: Impaired barrier function in relation to the lipid and protein properties of the stratum corneum

Joke A. Bouwstra et al.

Summary: In order to advance drug development, reliable skin models are essential. While in vitro 3D -human skin equivalents (HSEs) recapitulate important aspects of human skin, they still lack full barrier functionality, leading to suboptimal screening outcomes. Future improvements will focus on enhancing skin barrier function to develop a new generation of HSEs that may fully replace animal skin delivery studies.

Accelerated Skin Wound Healing by Electrical Stimulation

Ruizeng Luo et al.

Summary: When the integrity of the skin is compromised, an endogenous electric field is generated to facilitate wound healing, while exogenous electric fields can assist in treating wounds that cannot heal on their own. The effects of exogenous electrical stimulation on wound healing involve inflammation, blood flow, cell proliferation and migration, and wound scarring. New electrical stimulation methods and devices are characterized by being safe, low-cost, stable, and small in size.

Unique Dynamics of Hierarchical Constrained Macromolecular Ligands on Coordination Nanocage Surface Promotes Facile and Precise Assembly of Polymers

Mingxin Zhang et al.

Summary: Access to the solution structures of nanocomposites of coordination nanocages (CNCs) via scattering and chromatography techniques has allowed researchers to resolve their mysterious solution dynamics for the first time. The exchange of macromolecules in the solution mixtures of CNC nanocomposites at high temperatures revises the understanding of their dynamics. The quantified solution dynamics of CNC nanocomposites show a typical logarithmic time dependence with the dissociation of surface macromolecules as the thermodynamically limiting step, suggesting strongly coupled and hierarchically constrained dynamics among the surface macromolecules.
