Objective: To investigate the gene mutation in one sporadic case of bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (BCIE), and to explore the relationship between the genotype and phenotype.
Methods: DNA was extracted from the blood samples of the patient with BCIE, unaffected members of the pedigree, and 50 unrelated healthy controls. PCR was used to amplify the hot spot fragment of keratin 1 (KRT1) and keratin 10 (KRT10) gene. The PCR products were directly sequenced to detect the mutations.
Results: A heterozygous 467G>A mutation was found in the patient, resulting in the substitution of arginine (R) by histidine (H) in codon 156 (R156H) in the 1A domain of the KRT10 protein but not in the healthy individuals from the family and the 50 unrelated individuals.
Conclusion: The mutation of 467G>A in exon 1 of KRT10 gene identified may play a major role in the pathogenic mechanism of this case of BCIE.

Background: Pterygium is a complex ocular surface disease characterized by the abnormal proliferation and growth of conjunctival and fibrovascular tissues at the corneal-scleral margin. Understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms of pterygium is crucial for developing effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
Methods: To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of pterygium, we conducted a differential gene expression analysis between pterygium and normal conjunctival tissues using high-throughput RNA sequencing.

Keratins, the intermediate filament-forming proteins of the epithelial cells, are mainly expressed in keratinocytes, preserving the structural integrity and cohesion of the epidermis. There are multiple inherited skin conditions arising from mutations in the encoding genes of specific keratins, highlighting their significance in skin health. Furthermore, the aberrant expression of keratins is evidenced in certain skin diseases, such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and skin cancer.

Article Synopsis
- - Psoriasis is a common skin condition that currently has no cure, and more research is needed to understand its underlying processes and develop new treatments; however, there are challenges due to the lack of effective preclinical models.
- - Recent advancements include creating 3D skin models that mimic psoriasis features, allowing researchers to study treatment responses using these replicas, which exhibit characteristics like inflammation and hyperproliferation when treated with cytokines.
- - Treatments such as dexamethasone (DEX), celastrol (CEL), and biologics like adalimumab (ADM) and bimekizumab (BMM) demonstrated varying degrees of effectiveness in reducing inflammation and promoting skin differentiation, suggesting that this new in vitro

Background: Goats () have always been a source of fiber for human use and hold an important place in international high-end textiles. Fiber diameter is the most concerning economic indicator for producers. Understanding the formation mechanism of fiber diameter and its related key proteins can help optimize and control the production of cashmere.

We genetically manipulated HaCaT cells, a spontaneously immortalised normal keratinocyte cell line, to stably express two different coloured luciferase reporter genes, driven by interleukin 8 (IL-8) and ubiquitin-C (UBC) promoters, respectively. Subsequently, we generated a three-dimensional (3D) skin-like in vitro composite (SLIC) utilising these cells, with the objective of monitoring bioluminescence emitted from the SLIC. This SLIC was generated on non-woven silica fibre membranes in differentiation medium.
