August 2013 in “Acta Biomaterialia” This study suggests that a novel micropatterned dermal–epidermal matrix (μDERM) enhances keratinocyte function and epidermal morphology, offering potential improvements in skin substitute design for wound healing applications.

January 2016 In this study, NuMA's microtubule-binding domain was found to be crucial for correct spindle orientation and skin differentiation, with its loss leading to neonatal lethality in mice.
May 2026 in “Nature Communications” This study observed that the loss of H3K9me3, via the ablation of Suv39h1, Suv39h2, and Setdb1 in embryonic mouse epidermis, disrupts skin development processes such as keratinocyte differentiation and hair follicle formation, highlighting H3K9me3's crucial role in epidermal morphogenesis.

January 1987 in “PubMed” This study found that triiodothyronine and epidermal growth factor differentially affected craniofacial development in neonatal rats, with various impacts on hair growth direction, incisor eruption, and ear and eyelid development.
