July 2023 in “Nature communications” This study found that deleting the Mof gene in mouse skin leads to severe defects in skin cell self-renewal, differentiation, and hair follicle growth, indicating that MOF is crucial for mitochondrial and ciliary gene expression and essential for skin development.
November 2022 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that conditional deletion of Mof in mice resulted in severe defects in skin development, including compromised epidermal differentiation and hair growth, leading to perinatal lethality.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study observed that β-catenin overexpression in human squamous cell carcinoma cells led to increased CREB expression, which significantly enhanced clonogenic activity, suggesting CREB as a β-catenin-regulated factor promoting cancer characteristics.
August 2012 in “Nature Cell Biology” In this study, researchers found that β-catenin directly promotes TERT expression in stem and cancer cells by interacting with the Tert promoter, illustrating a mechanistic link between tumorigenesis and pluripotency.
