Junctional proteins stabilize the inner root sheath and connect the companion layer in human hair.

This study found that desmosomal cadherin desmoglein 3 loses its rigidity upon Ca2+ removal, regardless of desmosome functional state, suggesting a central role for signaling in hyper-adhesion.

This review discusses the development of human skin with a focus on desmosomes, noting the challenges of translating animal model findings to humans due to species differences and limited human sample access.

The researchers reported that disrupting the RPGRIP1L gene in mice impaired desmosome function, causing skin blistering, and their findings suggest that PKCβII inhibition could help treat pemphigus.

This study found that a genetic deletion causing truncated desmoglein 3 protein in mice led to severe pathologies, including cyclic hair loss and immunodeficiency, suggesting possible implications for human desmosome-related diseases.
