December 2017 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that fibroblast behavior switching between proliferation and ECM deposition is vital for dermal architecture, where cell migration is primarily important for tissue repair during wound healing.
December 2025 in “The Journal of Cell Biology” This study found that keratin 15 lacks the ability to sequester YAP1 in keratinocytes effectively, unlike keratin 14, and suggests that a higher K15:K14 ratio may promote a progenitor state and inhibit differentiation in epidermal keratinocytes.

February 2015 in “Mechanisms of development” This study observed that areola formation in mice requires exposure to pregnancy hormones and mechanical strain, beyond individual stimuli like hormonal milieu or strain alone.
