Bakuchiol: From structural mimicry to systems‐level skin biology
Convergent outcomes, divergent mechanisms: bakuchiol vs. retinol. Bakuchiol exhibits functional convergence with retinol in improving extracellular matrix integrity, epidermal differentiation and barrier function, while operating through distinct mechanisms.

Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor modulates expression of NADPH oxidase type 4: a negative regulator of melanogenesis [PDF]
How signaling via reactive oxygen species (ROS) influences skin pigmentation is unclear. We have investigated how NADPH oxidase-derived ROS modulates the expression of the key pigment "melanin" synthesizing enzymes in B16 mouse melanoma cells.

PDE4 Inhibition in Dermatologic Disease: Impacts Beyond Inflammation
This graphical abstract demonstrates the comprehensive mechanism of PDE4 inhibition in skin physiology. By increasing intracellular cAMP and activating PKA, PDE4 inhibitors exert pleiotropic effects, including immune modulation, pigmentation regulation, barrier enhancement, sensory neuron modulation, and improved wound healing with reduced fibrosis ...

MITF expression in acral melanoma tissues and its association with clinical, pathological characteristics and prognosis [PDF]
Background and purpose: The microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) plays a complex role in melanoma pathogenesis and progression. It is known to regulate multiple processes both in melanocytes and melanoma cells.

The T-cell oncogene Tal2 is a Target of PU.1 and upregulated during osteoclastogenesis [PDF]
Transcription factors play a crucial role in regulating differentiation processes during human life and are important in disease. The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors Tal1 and Lyl1 play a major role in the regulation of gene expression in the

CHARGE Syndrome: A Narrative Review and Update on Diagnosis, Assessment and Management
ABSTRACT Background CHARGE syndrome (CS) is a rare multisystemic genetic condition caused by a pathogenic variant in the DNA‐binding protein‐7 CHD7 gene. The condition affects the development of neural crest cells, which give rise to craniofacial structures, cranial nerves, ears, eyes and the heart, resulting in diverse and complex clinical features ...

Microphthalmia‐associated transcription factor interacts with LEF‐1, a mediator of Wnt signaling [PDF]
Wnt signals regulate differentiation of neural crest cells through the beta-catenin associated with a nuclear mediator of the lymphoid-enhancing factor 1 (LEF-1)/T-cell factors (TCFs) family. Here we show the interaction between the basic helix-loop-helix and leucine-zipper region of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) and LEF-1. MITF

CONSERVED FUNCTIONAL DOMAINS OF THE RNA-POLYMERASE-III GENERAL TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR BRF [PDF]
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, two components of the RNA polymerase III (Pol III) general transcription factor TFIIIB are the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and the B-related factor (BRF), so called because its amino-terminal half is homologous to the Pol II ...
