research The development of several organs and appendages is impaired in mice lacking Sp6

32 citations , February 2008 in “Developmental dynamics”

This study indicates that the Sp6 gene is crucial for the development of skin, teeth, limbs, and lungs in mice, possibly through regulating apoptosis.

research Abstract 4300: Constitutive activation of Stat3 increases hair follicle progenitor population at the expense of bulge region keratinocyte stem cells

April 2010 in “Cancer Research”

In this study, Stat3 activation in transgenic mice led to a decrease in stem cells in the hair follicle bulge, suggesting its crucial role in epidermal growth and stem cell maintenance.

research Ptch2 is a Potential Regulator of Mesenchymal Stem Cells

3 citations , April 2022 in “Frontiers in Physiology”

This study found that loss of the Ptch2 receptor in mice leads to increased incisor growth and enhanced mesenchymal stem cell differentiation, highlighting Ptch2's role in organ regenerative potential.

research Abstract 5216: Impact of Stat3 deletion or activation on keratinocyte stem/progenitor cells

April 2012 in “Cancer Research”

This study found that Stat3 influences the differentiation and migration of keratinocytes, potentially impacting epithelial carcinogenesis, by examining Stat3 activation or deletion effects in mouse models.
