Zanthoxylum bungeanum essential oil induces apoptosis of HaCaT human keratinocytes by Li, K, Zhou, R, Wang Jia, W, Li, Z, Li, J, Zhang, P, Xiao, T

“…Ethnopharmacological relevance: Zanthoxylum bungeanum (ZB), a Chinese herb medicine, has been shown to possess a wide range of biological activities including anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial activity and has long been used to treat a variety of skin diseases including psoriasis. However, the underlying mechanism of action has not been systematically elucidated. …”

Quantitative proteomics reveals CLR interactome in primary human cells by Manolis, D, Hasan, S, Maraveyas, A, O'Brien, DP, Kessler, BM, Kramer, H, Nikitenko, LL

“…The G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR) mediates essential functions in several cell types and is implicated in cardiovascular pathologies, skin diseases, migraine and cancer. To date, the network of proteins interacting with CLR ("CLR interactome") in primary cells, where this GPCR is expressed at endogenous (physiologically relevant) levels, remains unknown. …”

Post-deployment adaptation with access to source data via federated learning and source-target remote gradient alignment by Wagner, F, Li, Z, Saha, P, Kamnitsas, K

“…We demonstrate the method’s effectiveness using multi-center databases for the tasks of cancer metastases detection and skin lesion classification, where our method compares favourably to previous work. …”

Murine cd4+ T cell Responses are inhibited by cytotoxic T cell-mediated killing of dendritic cells and are restored by antigen transfer by Ma, Joel Zhi-Iong, Lim, So Nai, Qin, Jim Shixiang, Yang, Jianping, Enomoto, Noriyuki, Ruedl, Christiane, Ronchese, Franca

“…Residual CD4+ T cell proliferation was due to the transfer of antigen from carrier DC to host APC, and predominantly involved skin DC populations. Importantly, the proliferating CD4+ T cells also developed into IFN-γ producing memory cells, a property normally requiring direct presentation by activated DC. …”
