This study suggests that BBS7 is crucial for maintaining Sonic hedgehog signaling activity, which is important for periodontal ligament homeostasis under occlusal hypofunction conditions.

This study identified a germline variant in PLCD1 as a major risk allele for familial trichilemmal cysts, requiring a subsequent somatic mutation in the same allele for cyst formation.

The researchers reported that disrupting the RPGRIP1L gene in mice impaired desmosome function, causing skin blistering, and their findings suggest that PKCβII inhibition could help treat pemphigus.

This study found that a nonsense mutation in the Cst6 gene of mice leads to severe skin and hair abnormalities, suggesting that cystatin M/E is crucial for epidermal function and viability.

This study discovered that calcium dependent protein kinase 1 (CPK1) directly activates cyclic nucleotide-gated channels 5, 6, and 9, promoting root hair growth in Arabidopsis by regulating Ca²⁺ signaling.

This study found that overexpressing CRABP1 in dermal papilla cells promotes their proliferation and influences key genes in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which may offer insights into mechanisms controlling hair follicle development.

This study observed that in live rodents, actin filaments adjust their structure to facilitate membrane transfer between cellular compartments; linear filaments stabilize fused membranes, while branched filaments, connected by the protein Ezrin, drive integration, demonstrating actin's role in adapting to membrane biophysical changes.

This study found that STRIP1 and the STRIPAK complex play a key role in regulating F-actin and cell-cell junctions, which are essential for maintaining the epidermal barrier in mouse skin.

In this study, it was observed that NIPAL4 mutations linked to autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis lead to abnormal skin barrier function due to cytotoxic effects disrupting lipid structure and organization, which topical treatments only partially ameliorated.

In this study, Dsc 1 was highly expressed in certain layers of fetal epidermis and hair follicle but not in basal cells or oral mucosa, indicating its potential role in maintaining epithelial integrity.

This study found that inhibiting AP-1 activity in mice modified tumor development, leading to transdifferentiation between squamous and sebaceous tumors, with molecular analysis suggesting AP-1's role in maintaining tumor cell identity.

This study found that the absence of Sostdc1 in mice alters mammary gland and hair follicle development, particularly by increasing vibrissae numbers and causing unusual nipple-like structures.

This study reports that Ca 2+ binding alters the dynamics and surface properties of PKD-like domains in Clostridium histolyticum collagenases, enhancing their stability and potentially aiding in collagen-targeting vehicle development.

This study suggests that hairlessness in nude mice may be due to insufficient expression of phospholipase C-δ1, a molecule essential for normal hair development downstream of the Foxn1 gene.

This study found that Plakophilin 1 regulates innate immune responses in keratinocytes by controlling RNA helicase activity, balancing inflammation during epidermal immune challenges.

This study found that VE-cadherin and Alk1, traditionally linked to vascular functions, also play crucial roles in maintaining nerve homeostasis in mice during hair growth cycles by modulating certain cell populations.

This paper offers detailed tables of genotypic and phenotypic data on horses, including markers, variants, and haplotypes, but reports no new research results.

This study reviews the role of the zinc finger protein CXXC5 in cellular signaling and its implications for cancer, discussing how its dysregulation is linked to various physiological and pathological processes, as well as potential therapies targeting CXXC5.

This study reported the creation of isogenic immortalized COL7A1-deficient keratinocyte lines, providing a model for researching Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa biology and potential therapies.

This study found that desmosomal cadherin desmoglein 3 loses its rigidity upon Ca2+ removal, regardless of desmosome functional state, suggesting a central role for signaling in hyper-adhesion.

This study found that the AtSfh1 protein in Arabidopsis is essential for phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate signaling crucial to polarized root hair growth, utilizing both phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylcholine-binding activities.

This study found that loss of the folliculin protein delays transferrin receptor recycling, leading to iron deficiency and suggesting a role in the mechanisms of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome.

This study identified a novel recessive mutation in mice causing lethal congenital lamellar ichthyosis, with skin and hair follicle alterations similar to human congenital ichthyoses, linked to a specific genetic defect affecting Fatp4.

In this study, researchers reported that hair follicle stem cells maintain quiescence through a PIEZO1-dependent mechanism that senses mechanical forces and translates them into localized calcium influx, involving a transcriptional network that regulates cell adhesion and cytoskeleton-related genes.

The researchers reported increased ubiquitination of proteins such as the insulin receptor in CYLD cutaneous syndrome skin tumors, suggesting that CYLD dysfunction may affect protein secretion and signaling processes.

This study found that Cidea is critical for regulating lipid storage and sebum secretion in sebaceous glands, with its deficiency causing hair issues and impaired skin functions in mice.

This study found that cellular retinoic acid-binding proteins and fatty acid-binding proteins are dynamically expressed in skin development and respond differently to retinoic acid, β-catenin, and Notch signaling.
