TL;DR: During the 2011 International Pigment Cell Conference (IPCC), the Vitiligo European Taskforce (VETF) convened a consensus conference on issues of global importance for vitiligo clinical research, agreeing that disease stability be best assessed based on the stability of individual lesions rather than the overall stability of the disease as the latter is difficult to define precisely and reliably.

TL;DR: Results suggest that He-Ne irradiation elicits photostimulatory effects in mitochondria processes, which involve JNK/AP-1 activation and enhanced growth factor release, and ultimately lead to A2058 cell proliferation.

TL;DR: The mechanisms responsible for the cutaneous metastatic ability of certain malignancies likely involve factors other than chemokine receptors CCR10 and CXCR4, because their expressions by tumor cells are neither necessary nor sufficient for the formation of skin metastases.

TL;DR: IL-8 production and neutrophil infiltration are increased in a high-glucose environment due to elevated ROS level and contributed to impaired wound healing in diabetic skin, and targeting these dysfunctions may present novel therapeutic approaches.

TL;DR: Net formation is increased in peripheral blood and lesional skin of psoriasis patients and correlates with disease severity, and NET-induced HBD-2 production may provide a novel mechanism for the decreased susceptibility of Psoriasis plaques to microbial infections.
