2 citations
,
November 2017 in “Gynecological Endocrinology” This study found that serum myo-inositol oxygenase levels do not differ between women with polycystic ovary syndrome and healthy controls, suggesting that MI deficiency in PCOS is not due to MIOX levels.
21 citations
,
October 2013 in “Molecular Biology of the Cell” This study found that the protein CCN2 in dermal papilla cells is a physiologically relevant suppressor of hair follicle formation by destabilizing β-catenin, which may help maintain stem cell quiescence.
5 citations

,
September 2012 in “Cell Reports” In this study, knockout of B-raf and C-raf genes in mice showed they are not needed for early melanocyte development, but are crucial for maintaining melanocyte stem cells, as evidenced by hair graying due to stem cell depletion.
1 citations
,
December 2023 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that manipulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling in embryonic mammary glands impacted their development, with high activity levels hindering branching and potentially redirecting cells toward hair follicle identity instead of mammary tissue.
This study found that the FER/MLO signaling module plays a crucial role in calcium oscillations and ROS production in root hair tip growth, with the MLO15 protein regulating these processes and restoring disrupted growth and signaling in fer mutant root hairs.
