This study found that activating the erbB-2 oncogene in transgenic mice led to severe skin abnormalities and fatal defects, indicating erbB-2's significant role in skin and hair follicle development.

In this study, researchers found that a subset of mammary cells with active Wnt signaling in mice does not develop tumors upon ErbB2 activation and instead undergoes apoptosis, potentially protecting against carcinogenesis.

In this animal study, researchers found that the simultaneous deletion of ERBB2 and ERBB3 in mice results in impaired skin differentiation, inflammation, and sebaceous gland alteration, leading to skin lesions, while highlighting potential side effects in cancer therapies targeting these receptors.

This review discusses the effects of the epidermal growth factor receptor system on skin biology and pathology, relying on animal models to analyze roles in cellular processes, wound healing, and tumorigenesis, but reports no new results.
