February 2005 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences” This study found that differentiated cells of the corneal epithelium can be converted to hair and interfollicular epidermis through a multistep process involving dermal developmental signals.
January 2006 in “Elsevier eBooks” This review discusses the regeneration capabilities of various vertebrate tissues, focusing on the unique ability of certain species to regenerate teeth and lens, and reports no new results.

,
September 2006 in “PLoS Genetics” This study found that loss of Apc due to K14-cre-mediated gene recombination in mice led to aberrant growth in ectodermally derived squamous epithelia, implicating its critical role in specifying epithelial cell fates during embryonic development.
