Abstract
Psoriasin (S100A7) is one of the members in the S100 protein family. It was first discovered as a protein abundantly expressed in psoriatic keratinocytes. Psoriasin has been implicated in a wide range of intracellular and extracellular functions, including regulation of calcium homeostasis, cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, cell invasion and motility, cytoskeleton dynamics, protein phosphorylation, regulation of transcriptional factors, immune responses, chemotaxis, inflammation and pluripotency. Altered expression of psoriasin was shown to associate with a broad range of diseases, including inflammatory and immune disorders and tumors. Many lines of evidence suggested that psoriasin exerts its distinct functions through alterations in both intracellular and extracellular pathways and results alteration in gene expression. In this review, we summarize the multiple function of psoriasin and the underlying mechanisms and discuss the potential role of psoriasin as one of the biomarkers and therapeutic targets for multiple diseases.

Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
