Abstract: Significance The human eyelid is an intricate structure that plays a critical role in maintaining vision, but its neuromuscular control remains poorly understood. Here, we present high-resolution intramuscular recordings of muscle activation from the orbicularis… read more here.

Abstract: It remains unclear how the multifunctional indoleamine neurohormone, melatonin, alters melanin production and melanocytes within intact human epidermis under physiologically relevant conditions. In the current pilot study, we aimed to clarify this in long‐term organ‐cultured,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms26167811
Abstract: Interleukin (IL)-15 is primarily known as a pro-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic cytokine, which stimulates the proliferation and survival of key immunocytes, including macrophages (MACs). Yet, it remains unclear how IL-15 specifically impacts MACs in intact human… read more here.
