October 2017 in “Stem Cell Reports” This study found that loss of the ACER1 gene in mice led to increased ceramide levels and progressive hair loss, highlighting ACER1's role in maintaining hair follicle stem cell homeostasis.
August 2017 in “Academic Commons (Stony Brook University)” This study found that the enzyme Acer1 plays a crucial role in skin health and tumor prevention by regulating ceramide metabolism in mice.
