Aging is characterized by accumulation of chronic and irreversible oxidative damage, chronic inflammation, and organ dysfunction. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) serves as a major enzyme for cellular superoxide radical metabolism and physiologically regulates cellular redox balance throughout the body. Copper/zinc superoxide dismutase-deficient (SOD1) mice showed diverse phenotypes associated with enhanced oxidative damage in whole organs. Here, we found that oral treatment with syringaresinol (also known as lirioresinol B), which is the active component in the berries of Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer), attenuated the age-related changes in Sod1 skin. Interestingly, syringaresinol morphologically normalized skin atrophy in Sod1 mice and promoted fibroblast outgrowth from Sod1 skin in vitro. These protective effects were mediated by the suppression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 overproduction in Sod1 skin, but not by increased collagen expression. Syringaresinol also decreased the oxidative damage and the phosphorylation of FoxO3a protein, which was a transcriptional factor of matrix metalloproteinase-2, in Sod1 skin. These results strongly suggest that syringaresinol regulates the FoxO3-matrix metalloproteinase-2 axis in oxidative damaged skin and exhibits beneficial effects on age-related skin involution in Sod1 mice.

5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a commonly used chemotherapy drug that effectively destroys cancer cells. Despite its widespread use and efficacy, it also presents considerable challenges, particularly with adverse effects on rapidly dividing normal cells, such as keratinocytes. These detrimental effects are attributed to inflammatory, oxidative, and apoptotic potentials, leading to severe skin disorders.

Skin flaps are employed to cover cutaneous denuded surfaces, but ensuing flap necrosis often occurs. Previously, rats with myocardial infarction treated with lipid-core nanoparticles (LDE) loaded with methotrexate (MTX) improved myocardial irrigation and reduced necrosis. Here, the aim was to investigate the efficacy of LDE-MTX to preserve the viability of cutaneous flaps and its implications for surgical wound healing.

Article Synopsis
- Melanoma is a common skin cancer, but its molecular mechanisms are not well understood, prompting research into its immunological and cellular dynamics using advanced analytics.
- The study utilized gene databases and single-cell analysis to identify 20 critical hub genes related to melanoma, revealing strong connections to immune and inflammatory responses.
- Key findings indicated significant infiltration of various immune cells in melanoma patients, with ferroptosis and specific signaling pathways playing crucial roles in disease progression.

has been used in Thai remedies to treat skin disorders, but scientific evidence supporting its efficacy is currently limited. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effects of extracts on melanin production using melanoma cells, as well as their impact on oxidative stress and inflammation in keratinocytes. The results demonstrate that extracts inhibited melanin content and cellular tyrosinase activity in 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX)-induced melanoma cells by downregulating and the pigmentary genes , , and Interestingly, the regulator gene was inhibited by both the 50% and 95% ethanolic extracts of with levels of 0.
