The role of protein lactylation in skin diseases: From molecular mechanisms to potential therapeutics

Assess advances connecting lactate-driven protein modification with inflammatory and malignant skin conditions, and its translational therapeutic angle.

Key Takeaways
  • Protein lactylation is a lactate-derived post-translational modification regulating gene transcription
  • Lactylation has been implicated in psoriasis, melanoma, atopic dermatitis, scarring, and skin ageing
  • Lactylation-related inhibitors show therapeutic potential across cancer
