July 2022 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy” This study found that knocking out the integrin β1 subunit in induced pluripotent stem cells enhanced their migration and improved their wound-healing effects in a mouse model.
January 2018 in “Stem cell biology and regenerative medicine” This paper reviews the role of ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes in epidermal homeostasis, hair regeneration, and skin repair, noting contributions to 3D-genomic organization and suppression of UV-induced hyper-proliferation, without presenting new results.
November 2022 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that conditional deletion of CD271 in mouse epidermis led to significant disorganization and increased thickness, suggesting CD271's crucial role in regulating skin differentiation and structure.
