research α-parvin is required for epidermal morphogenesis, hair follicle development and basal keratinocyte polarity
This study demonstrates that α-parvin is crucial for epidermal morphogenesis and hair follicle development by mediating integrin-dependent adhesion and actin organization in keratinocytes.
research The Functional Diversity of Epidermal Keratins Revealed by the Partial Rescue of the Keratin 14 Null Phenotype by Keratin 16
In this study, expressing human K16 in the epidermis of K14 null mice prevented early skin blistering but led to age-related anomalies, indicating K16 and K14 have distinct roles despite their sequence similarity.
research Mapping of a novel locus for keratosis follicularis squamosa on chromosome 7p14.3–7p12.1
This article reviews keratosis follicularis squamosa, a keratinizing disorder predominantly found in the Japanese population, but reports no new clinical results.
research Epidermal homeostasis: a balancing act of stem cells in the skin
