Wnt-associated DKK3 in keratinocytes mediates radiation-induced hyperplasia, dermatitis and skin fibrosis - Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy - Wnt-associated DKK3 in keratinocytes mediates radiation-induced hyperplasia, dermatitis and skin fibrosis

Radiotherapy against cancer can cause skin inflammation and scarring. This paper identifies a protein called DKK3 as a key regulator of radiation-induced epidermal hyperplasia and skin fibrosis — highlighting it as a promising therapeutic target.

Connecting AI to biology: Model Context Protocol Julio Saez-Rodriguez discusses how MCP servers are helping AI connect to life science databases, making AI a more reproducible tool for research.

AI holds huge promise for life science research. But unreliable answers currently limit its impact.

@juliosaezrod.bsky.social, Head of Research at EMBL-EBI, discusses how Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers are helping to change this.
