May 1999 in “Molecular Cell” In this study, activation of c-MycER in adult mouse epidermis rapidly induced proliferation and disrupted keratinocyte differentiation, causing changes similar to precancerous lesions, which regressed once c-MycER was deactivated.

April 2001 in “Current Biology” This study found that transient activation of c-Myc in transgenic mice stimulates keratinocyte proliferation and sebocyte differentiation, affecting normal epidermal and hair follicle development.
142 citations

,
April 2003 in “Carcinogenesis” This study found that 2-methoxyestradiol induces apoptosis in human prostate cancer cells by activating p53 through a pathway dependent on p38/JNK-mediated NFkappaB/AP-1 activation, with JNK-dependent Bcl-2 phosphorylation also playing a critical role.
113 citations
,
June 2015 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy” This study found that activation or inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin and Notch signaling pathways in rats can alter wound healing, possibly by affecting epidermal stem cell activity and keratinocyte behavior.
