December 2014 in “Annals of Laboratory Medicine” In this study, a somatic KRAS mutation was identified in a Korean infant with nevus sebaceus and associated extracutaneous manifestations, suggesting a diagnosis of nevus sebaceus syndrome.
This study found that chemically induced skin tumors in mice predominantly originated from Lgr6 + and/or Lrig1 + stem cells of the upper hair follicle rather than from other stem cell populations.
In this study, researchers discovered that the HrasG12V oncogenic mutation in murine skin epithelial cells initially promotes progenitor cell renewal but later leads to a balanced differentiation, stabilizing clone growth.
In this study, researchers observed that oncogenic HrasG12V in single murine epidermal cells leads to an initial increase in progenitor cell renewal, but ultimately results in balanced cell fate choices that limit clone growth.

April 1998 in “Current Biology” This study found that benign tumors with a high risk of malignant progression primarily arise from hair follicle cells when a mutant ras gene is expressed in a specific population of epidermal cells in mice.
