This study suggests that the interaction between folliculin and plakophilin-4 (p0071) may play a role in folliculin's tumor suppressor function by regulating RhoA signaling, impacting cell migration and junction formation.

In this study, Trf1 genetic deletion in mice, including those with cancer-prone mutations, was shown to not affect overall viability and cause only mild effects, while being necessary for tumor formation, suggesting a potential therapeutic window for Trf1 as an anti-cancer target.

This study found that, in mice, different precursor populations give rise to Merkel cells in hairy versus glabrous skin, but their formation is controlled by a common genetic program involving FGFR2 signaling.

This study found that Biobran MGN-3 significantly reduced chemotherapy-induced tiredness, anorexia, nausea, and hair loss, improving quality of life in breast cancer patients undergoing treatment.

This study concluded that overexpressing TERT and BMI1 in cultured human dermal papilla cells extended their lifespan and enhanced their ability to induce hair growth in mice.

This study found that the NHD domain, but not the PHD domain, of hPygo2 is crucial for Wnt-independent growth of ovarian cancer cells, and identified a key interaction with Treacle protein involved in ribosomal biogenesis.

This study characterized the intron-exon organization of human keratin 15 and keratin 19 genes to aid future mutation detection analyses related to potential genetic disorders of keratinization.

This study mapped the curly mutation in mice to a specific region on chromosome 11, identifying it as a candidate model for studying human genetic hair disorders.

This study found that transgenic mice overexpressing E2F1 in their epidermis developed skin tumors, confirming in vivo that deregulated E2F1 activity can contribute to tumor development.

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.

In this study, Lrig1-positive stem cells in mouse hair follicles were found to be essential for sebaceous gland formation and maintenance, with their depletion causing a temporary loss of these glands and changes in cellular differentiation.

The study found that, unlike in actinic keratosis and squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma tissues showed higher expression of nidogen1 and Col4 in both basement membranes and surrounding stroma compared to normal skin.

In this study, circ-Smad5 was found to inhibit the proliferation and cell cycle progression of JB6 cells by suppressing Wnt/β-catenin/Lef 1 signaling activation, marking the first report of its function.

In this study, whole-genome sequencing of Lanping black-boned sheep identified ERBB4 and ROR1 genes as potentially important in their distinctive hyperpigmentation, enhancing understanding of their genetic evolution from Lanping normal sheep.

This study provides evidence that ILC1-like cells can induce alopecia areata in previously healthy human hair follicles, challenging the view that it is solely an autoantigen-dependent autoimmune disease.

This study identified a gene transcript overexpressed in dermal papilla cells, showing strong similarity to a mouse gene associated with adipose tissue in bombesin receptor subtype-3-deficient mice.

This study established a Krt24-CreERT2 mouse line targeting outer bulge hair follicle stem cells, finding these cells crucial for hair follicle development and repair, particularly following ionizing radiation exposure.

This study found that topical treatment with 7DHC and BM15766 reduced hair growth in mice compared to those treated with Ethanol/DMSO, and hair did not recover after treatment ceased, alongside increased apoptotic cells and decreased expression of specific genes.

This study identified the AtPRPL1 gene in Arabidopsis thaliana as being involved in cell elongation processes, despite unclear changes in cell wall composition from its altered expression.

This study reports on an ongoing Phase I/IIa clinical trial of ex vivo gene therapy for treating severe Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa, involving six adult participants with COL7A1 mutations resulting in deficient type VII collagen production.

This study found similarities in the regeneration processes of MRL mouse ears and axolotl limbs, involving G2 cell cycle arrest and nerve-dependent mitosis, but the role of p21 in axolotl limb regeneration remains uncertain.

This case report identifies a novel maternally inherited MBTPS2 variant associated with an expanded phenotypic spectrum of BRESHECK syndrome, including cytopenias, bone marrow fibrosis, and chronic diarrhea.

This study found that targeting HSP70 can suppress basal cell carcinoma growth, underscoring the importance of tumor microenvironment interactions in cancer progression.

This article reviews the role of the hairless protein in hair cycling and gene regulation, noting the need for further understanding of its JmjC domain and subcellular localization roles.

This study reports that eliminating both Trp53 and Rb genes in mouse epidermis accelerates aggressive squamous cell carcinoma development due to early activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor/Akt pathway.

This study found that selectively inactivating ribonucleotide excision repair in mouse epidermis leads to DNA damage, keratinocyte intraepithelial neoplasia, and squamous cell carcinoma, indicating a potential tumor-promoting mechanism related to compromised genome maintenance.

This study indicates that the protein Bcl-2 has a dual role, protecting hair follicle stem cells from apoptosis during regeneration and promoting tumor formation under oncogenic stress.

Overexpression of certain genes can shorten hair by disrupting the hair-growth cycle.
