Extracellular prostaglandins E1 and E2 and inflammatory cytokines are regulated by the senescence program in potentially premalignant oral keratinocytes

This study shows that senescence in premalignant oral keratinocytes increases extracellular prostaglandins E1 and E2 and inflammatory cytokines, which may promote progression to oral SCC through paracrine signaling.

The desmosomal cadherin Desmoglein-3 regulates YAP and phospho-YAP in keratinocyte responses to mechanical forces

This study shows that Dsg3 regulates YAP and phospho-YAP in keratinocyte mechanotransduction, affecting their response to mechanical forces and nuclear localization.
