January 2023 in “Science advances” This study found that ablation of Tet2/Tet3 genes in skin epithelial cells altered hair shape and length, leading to hair loss, by affecting chromatin accessibility and gene expression related to hair follicle regulation.
November 2022 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that in mouse melanocytes, the cytoplasmic dynein complex component Dynlt3 is necessary for proper melanosome transport, acidity regulation, and effective transfer to keratinocytes, linking it to skin pigmentation processes.
