August 2018 in “The FASEB journal” This study found that Hoxc13-/- rabbits exhibit complete hair loss on the head and dorsum, providing a potential model for understanding human ECTD-9 and related dermatological conditions.
April 2023 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This research suggests that hair keratins evolved from claw keratins in a hairless ancestor, with Hoxc13 controlling their expression in tetrapods, evidenced by the knockout of Hoxc13 hindering claw formation in Xenopus tropicalis frogs.
June 2020 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that the HoxC gene cluster is crucial for the development of hair and nails in mice, with key regulation by two mammalian-specific enhancers.
August 2023 in “Fermentation” This review discusses the potential of metabolic engineering to enable sustainable industrial-scale production of L-aspartate and its derivatives, detailing current microbial production progress, limiting factors, and future prospects with emerging technologies in synthetic biology.
