24 citations
,
November 2023 in “Nature” In this study, researchers demonstrated that the expression of the oncogene SmoM2 leads to basal cell carcinoma in the ear epidermis of mice but not in the back skin, with differences in susceptibility linked to the composition of the extracellular matrix.
11 citations
,
January 2012 in “Journal of cell science” This study demonstrates that Rac1 activity is essential for normal hair follicle formation but influences hair structure and pigmentation, in terminal differentiation, through alterations in hair shaft, cuticle, and pigmentation organization.

February 2024 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” Vascular patterns in dermoscopy help tell apart malignant and benign skin tumors.
This study found that in mice, type XVII collagen is essential for controlling epidermal cell proliferation through Wnt signaling, with its deficiency or altered distribution leading to skin hyperproliferation and aging-like changes.
May 2022 in “European Journal of Dermatology” In this study, increased treatment duration with vismodegib was associated with a decreased risk of relapse in patients with advanced or multiple basal cell carcinoma.
