January 2002 in “Dermatology” This study found that cutaneous myxomas showed decreased CD44 expression in follicular epithelial proliferations, which may be related to abnormal hyaluronate accumulation in these lesions.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that DC-HIL+ myeloid derived suppressor cells are increased in the blood and skin of patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus and show immunosuppressive properties.
November 2025 in “Cancer Cell International” This study provides a detailed cellular atlas of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, indicating that different fibroblast subtypes play roles in tumor progression and suppression, with potential biomarkers identified for HPV-related tumor growth.
In this study, conditional inactivation of the Mad2l1 SAC gene in mice led to aggressive and lethal acute lymphoblastic leukemia and hepatocellular carcinoma, demonstrating a link between chromosomal instability and cancer development.
March 2010 in “Ejc Supplements” This review discusses the paradoxical effects of valproic acid on hair, noting that it can both cause alopecia and stimulate hair growth, but reports no new experimental findings.

,
March 2015 in “Carcinogenesis” This study found that WNT10A is significantly upregulated in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and is associated with enhanced tumor cell migration, invasion, and poor survival.
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.
14 citations
,
October 2015 in “PLoS ONE” This study found that keratins 5, 7, 8, and 19 are expressed in human trophoblast cells while vimentin is solely expressed in stromal-mesenchymal cells, aiding in placental cell type identification.
