February 2015 in “Acta Crystallographica Section D: Structural Biology” The study concludes that certain domains in Clostridium histolyticum enzymes are structurally unique, bind calcium to become more stable, and play distinct roles in breaking down collagen, with potential applications in medicine and drug delivery.
April 2026 in “Biomedical Research and Therapy” This study investigated genetic associations with acne scarring in 202 acne patients, revealing that CYB5R1 variants are potentially linked to atrophic scarring, while IL1A variants are associated with fibrotic scarring, including hypertrophic and keloid scars. No significant associations were found with the other genes studied (TNF, TLR4, FLG, and SPINK5). The findings suggest a polygenic nature of acne scarring, but further research with larger cohorts is needed for validation.
