August 2012 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that MED1 plays a role in maintaining keratinocyte quiescence and hair follicle stem cell populations, as its absence in mice led to increased keratinocyte proliferation and reduced stem cell numbers.

March 2012 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In their mouse study, Oda et al. found that removing the MED1 gene in the skin led to hair loss and changes in epidermal cell differentiation, indicating MED1's significant role in these processes.
January 2014 in “www.virtualization.info” This study found that skin wound healing was accelerated in young but delayed in older Med1(epi-/-) mice compared to wild-type mice, suggesting age-dependent roles of MED1 in epidermal regeneration.

December 2011 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study reported that deleting the MED1 subunit from the MED complex in keratinocytes resulted in disrupted hair differentiation and cycling, leading to hair loss in mice.
