The effects of the oral supplementation of L-Cystine associated with reduced L-Glutathione-GSH on human skin pigmentation: a randomized, double-blinded, benchmark- and placebo-controlled clinical trial

Joel Duperray Eng et al.

Summary: The study found that oral supplementation with L-Cystine associated with L-Glutathione can effectively lighten the skin and reduce the size of facial dark spots in Asian women after 12 weeks. This combination not only had better effects compared to placebo, but also compared to L-Cystine alone or L-Glutathione alone.

In Situ Electrospinning of Aggregation-Induced Emission Nanofibrous Dressing for Wound Healing

Ruihua Dong et al.

Summary: A novel in situ deposited and personalized nanofibrous dressing is developed for rapid wound dressing and effective antibacterial therapy. The dressing can be directly electrospun on skin wounds and fits various sizes of wounds perfectly. Loaded with an aggregation-induced emission luminogen, the nanofibrous dressings exhibit long-term antibacterial activity and show excellent antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. In vivo studies demonstrate that these antibacterial nanofibrous dressings effectively reduce inflammation and accelerate wound healing. This in situ produced antibacterial dressing shows promise as a total solution for treating emergencies.

Keratinocyte autophagy enables the activation of keratinocytes and fibroblasts and facilitates wound healing

Lei Qiang et al.

Summary: The study found that inhibiting epidermal cell autophagy impairs wound healing in mice, affecting processes such as keratinocyte proliferation, immune cell infiltration, and dermal tissue formation. TNF induces CCL2 transcription through the autophagy-AMPK-BRAF-MAPK1/3/ERK-AP1 pathway, influencing keratinocyte migration and proliferation, and activating dermal fibroblasts.

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.
