July 2014 in “PloS one” In this study, Meis1 was found to regulate epidermal homeostasis and act as a proto-oncogenic factor in skin tissues, with differences in expression patterns between normal and tumor cells.
This study found that the transcription factor Meis2 is crucial for the maturation and innervation of sensory neurons responsible for light touch in mice, with its absence leading to reduced touch sensitivity.
This study identified the TALE homeodomain transcription factor Meis2 as a crucial regulator for the maturation and end-organ innervation of certain mechanoreceptors in mice, with its absence leading to altered sensory neuron structure and impaired touch sensitivity.
This study found that the transcription factor Meis2 regulates the maturation and innervation of sensory neurons in mice, affecting their response to light touch.

November 2024 in “eLife” This study in mice found that MEIS2 expression in mesenchymal dermal cells is crucial for the formation of whiskers and the initial steps of epithelial placode development, independently of sensory nerve innervation or Foxd1 expression.
