This study found that MK6a-deficient mice showed delayed reepithelialization after superficial wounding but not after full-thickness skin wounds, suggesting MK6a plays a role in activating follicular keratinocytes post-wounding.

This study found that selective deletion of Ctip2 in epidermal keratinocytes in adult mice leads to atopic dermatitis-like inflammation and suggests Ctip2 plays a crucial role in skin barrier maintenance and inflammatory regulation.

In this study, targeting the expression of a keratin KRT5/KRT8 chimeric cDNA in keratin-deficient mice partially restored structural defects in epidermal cells, but did not fully normalize skin health.

This study found that Bcl-xL deficiency in mice increased apoptosis and resistance to skin tumor development, highlighting Bcl-xL's role in early skin carcinogenesis through anti-apoptotic functions.

In this study, researchers created a mouse model using CRISPR/Cas9 technology to investigate hypotrichosis simplex and woolly hair, finding that Krt71-knockout mice exhibited curly hair and developed complete hair shedding without immune deficiencies, mimicking conditions seen in humans and potentially aiding future hair disorder research.

This study identified mutations in the STUB1 gene linked to hereditary cerebellar ataxia with cognitive impairment, revealing potential effects on protein function and patient symptoms, including accelerated aging.

This study demonstrates that canonical Wnt signaling is crucial for maintaining thymic epithelial microenvironments in postnatal thymus, possibly by affecting TEC progenitor cells.

In this study, the researchers identified a third keratin 6 gene in mice and developed a double knockout model that could aid in hair growth research.

IL-1 receptor absence in mice leads to skin cysts and changes in immune response after UVB exposure.

In this study, homozygous VDR null mutant mice exhibited nonfunctional vitamin D receptors, leading to growth abnormalities and revealing the limited physiological importance of vitamin D pathways outside the classical receptor.

This study found that KrasG12D mutant cells are typically cleared from adult pancreas tissues through mechanisms involving the EphA2 receptor, suggesting its role as a tumor suppressor in pancreatic cancer.

This study developed a kidney-specific knockout mouse model lacking the Flcn gene, which recapitulates human Birt-Hogg-Dubé kidney tumorigenesis and shows that mTOR pathway inhibition with rapamycin can suppress tumor growth.

This study suggests that Foxn1 acts as a brake on PKC signaling in keratinocytes, thereby modulating the stages of differentiation by controlling PKC activity.

This study found that Hoxc13 mutations in mice cause defects in hair, nail, and tongue structures, with the most noticeable issue being brittle hair leading to alopecia.

This study identifies iRhom2 as a crucial regulator of hair follicle differentiation, showing that the iRhom2Uncv mutation leads to dysplasia and reduced TACE maturation, resulting in a hairless phenotype in mice.

This study developed a novel Hairless Rag2/Jak3 KO mouse model, which provides superior optical properties and thinner skin compared to existing models, enhancing its utility for noninvasive tumor monitoring and evaluation of anticancer therapies.

This study found that FRβ knockout mice exhibited autoimmune symptoms and slower tumor growth compared to wild type mice, suggesting that the FRβ receptor may play a role in regulating immune responses in tumors and autoimmune conditions.

This study found that mice with a disrupted TGFα gene display a curly whisker-coat phenotype, similar to waved-1 mice, suggesting TGFα's crucial role in skin architecture and hair development.

This study found that in a mouse model of Focal Dermal Hypoplasia, treatment with lithium carbonate improved skin disease symptoms compared to controls, though disease severity varied and posed interpretation challenges.

This study found that CLK1 is necessary for epidermal differentiation but does not affect sebocyte differentiation in a telogen skin stem cell line.

This study found that knocking out the integrin β1 subunit in induced pluripotent stem cells enhanced their migration and improved their wound-healing effects in a mouse model.

In this study, researchers observed that a noncanonical mechanism involving the γ-secretase-dependent, RBPj-independent Notch intracellular domain improves survival in Msx2-Cre mice by delaying hair follicle destruction and reducing disease severity.

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.

In this study, targeted deletion of the stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 gene in mice disrupted the epidermal lipid barrier, leading to increased water loss, impaired thermoregulation, and metabolic issues.

This study suggests that biallelic loss of the Hedgehog signaling repressor Patched alone in Keratin 5+ epidermal cells is insufficient to drive basal cell carcinoma development unless exogenous stimuli trigger accumulation of BCC precursor cells.

This study found that premature hair loss due to stress does not occur in NK-1 receptor knockout or mast cell deficient mice, suggesting a key role for neurokinin substance P and mast cell interaction in stress-related hair follicle changes.

This study developed a new method to analyze Cantú syndrome mutations in KATP channels, finding that while Kir6.1 mutations increase sensitivity to potassium channel openers, SUR2B mutations show reduced sensitivity, but both result in marked hyperpolarization compared to wild-type channels under basal conditions.

This study found that while epidermal PLCγ1 is not necessary for keratinocyte differentiation in interfollicular epidermis, it is crucial for normal hair and sebaceous gland formation in mice.

This study analyzed skin from 538 knockout mouse mutants and identified 50 with epidermal phenotypes, providing valuable insights into genetic conditions and systemic effects related to skin abnormalities.
