Infection control in non‐clinical areas during COVID‐19 pandemic: AbstractLarge numbers of healthcare workers have acquired coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) in the workplace [1]. SARS‐CoV‐2 is easily transmissible as each person with COVID‐19 infects approximately 2.2 close contacts, and asymptomatic transmission has been reported [2,3]. SARS‐CoV‐2 survives in aerosols and on surfaces from hours to days, respectively [4]. Therefore, we believe non‐clinical areas are potentially high‐risk for transmission...

StarD13: a potential star target for tumor therapeutics: AbstractStarD13 is a tumor suppressor and a GTPase activating protein (GAP) for Rho GTPases. Thus, StarD13 regulates cell survival pathways and induces apoptosis in a p53-dependent and independent manners. In tumors, StarD13 is either downregulated or completely inhibited, depending on the tumor type. As such, and through the dysregulation of Rho GTPases, this affects adhesion dynamics, actin dynamics, and leads to an increase or a decrease...

The role of mast cells in autoimmune bullous dermatoses: Skin mast cells (MCs), a resident immune cell type with broad regulatory capacity, play an important role in sensing danger signals as well as in the control of the local immune response. It is conceivable to expect that skin MCs regulate autoimmune response and are thus involved in autoimmune diseases in the skin, e.g., autoimmune bullous dermatoses (AIBD). Therefore, exploring the role of MCs in AIBD will improve our understanding of the...
