Seltmann et al. discovered that the transmembrane protein CLCA2 is transported to the nucleus of keratinocytes via extracellular vesicles (EVs). Nuclear CLCA2 promotes expression of Wnt target genes and is required for the suppression of keratinocyte migration and for survival of these cells under hyperosmotic stress conditions.
Hiebert et al. used a collagen peptide sensor to visualize lysyl oxidase-dependent collagen formation and remodeling during wound healing. The probe selectively detects newly produced or remodeling collagen, but not matured collagen fibers, and can be applied for in vivo wound imaging and for discerning differential remodeling in mice with altered collagen dynamics.
