July 2020 in “World journal of stem cells” This review discusses vitamin D and calcium signaling roles in epidermal stem cell processes essential for wound healing but reports no new experimental results, emphasizing their potential interdependent regulatory mechanisms.
February 2025 in “Science Advances” This study demonstrates that Wnt signaling plays a crucial mechanoregulatory role in skin regeneration by influencing cellular responses to substrate rigidity, which promotes hair follicle regeneration in the wound-induced hair neogenesis model.

November 2012 in “PloS one” This study found that dysregulation of the folliculin-p0071 interaction may lead to changes in cell adhesion and signaling, contributing to conditions like emphysema and renal cell carcinoma.
February 2021 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that specific junctional proteins are significantly downregulated in balding regions of the scalp in men with androgenetic alopecia, suggesting disrupted cell communication may play a role in hair loss.
April 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that down-regulation of sonic hedgehog gene expression is a critical early event in chemotherapy-induced tissue damage in hair and feather follicles.
