research Author response: Interplay of opposing fate choices stalls oncogenic growth in murine skin epithelium
In this study, researchers discovered that the HrasG12V oncogenic mutation in murine skin epithelial cells initially promotes progenitor cell renewal but later leads to a balanced differentiation, stabilizing clone growth.
research Protein kinase Cepsilon is linked to 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-induced tumor necrosis factor-alpha ectodomain shedding and the development of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma in protein kinase Cepsilon transgenic mice.
In this study, PKCepsilon transgenic mice showed increased TNFalpha shedding during skin tumor promotion, which may contribute to the development of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma.
research Dickkopf-related Protein 2 Promotes Hair Growth by Upregulating the Wnt/β-catenin Signaling Pathway in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
In this study, treatment with recombinant DKK2 was shown to significantly stimulate hair progenitor cell growth and enhance hair shaft elongation in ex vivo human hair follicle cultures by activating the Wnt/ẞ-catenin signaling pathway, suggesting a potential role for DKK2 in promoting hair growth.
research EGFR: stopping stathmin to start the cycle
This study reported that EGFR activation leads to suppression of Stathmin, which may promote synchronized entry into catagen in hair follicles, highlighting potential mechanisms involving EGFR in hair cycle transitions.
research Akt2 and SGK3 are both determinants of postnatal hair follicle development
This study found that Akt2 and SGK3 are crucial for postnatal hair follicle development in mice, as their combined absence led to severe hair growth defects due to disrupted β-catenin-dependent transcriptional processes.
research A Mouse Model for Conditional Expression of Activated β-Catenin in Epidermal Keratinocytes
In this study, the researchers observed that inducing and then withdrawing β-catenin expression in a bigenic mouse model caused reversible changes in skin morphology, indicating dependence on β-catenin signaling.
research Characters of KRT80 and its roles in neoplasms diseases
This review reports that KRT80 is overexpressed in various cancers, enhancing cancer cell proliferation, invasiveness, and migration, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target, though more clinical studies are needed to fully understand its role in cancer prognosis.
research A Definitive Role of Ornithine Decarboxylase in Photocarcinogenesis
This study found that overexpression of the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase in transgenic mice led to UVB-induced skin tumors, but this was prevented by the ODC inhibitor α-difluoromethylornithine.
research Targeted Knockout of β-Catenin in Adult Melanocyte Stem Cells Using a Mouse Line, Dct::CreERT2, Results in Disrupted Stem Cell Renewal and Pigmentation Defects
This study established that the Dct::CreERT2 mouse line is effective for targeting and studying adult melanocyte stem cells, contributing to the understanding of melanocyte biology and hair pigmentation.
research Continuous MEK inhibition by AZD6244 (ARRY-142886) results in exhaustion of the cutaneous keratinocytic stem cell pool and resembles senescence driven skin aging
This study found that patients with unresectable melanoma treated with AZD6244 experienced skin reactions, including depigmentation and papulopustular rashes, in patterns similar to those caused by EGFR inhibitors.
research 865 Conditional ablation of JAK-STAT5 signaling induces anagen hair growth
This study found that knocking out STAT5 expression in specific mouse hair follicles after tamoxifen treatment initiated uniform hair growth, highlighting STAT5's role in regulating the hair growth cycle.
research 5-Bromo-2′-deoxyuridine induced effluvium via p53-mediated CD326-positive keratinocyte apoptosis in C57BL/6 mice
This research successfully established a novel mouse model for anagen effluvium using BrdU treatment, which induced hair loss and pathological changes mimicking human symptoms.
research Expression of Calcyclin, a Calcium-Binding Protein, in the Keratogenous Region of Growing Hair Follicles
research Colorectal cancer co-opts an epidermal wound healing program during metastasis to generate disseminated tumor cells
In this study, researchers used patient-derived organoids to model metastasis in colorectal cancer and discovered that cancer cells temporarily switch to a wound-healing program, orchestrated by reduced EZH2 activity and YAP signaling, before spreading to new organs.
research Differential distribution of the epigenetic marker 5‐hydroxymethylcytosine occurs in hair follicle stem cells during bulge activation
This study suggests that the epigenetic marker 5-hmC may dynamically influence hair follicle bulge activation during anagen growth in mice, warranting further investigation into its role in stem cell regulation.
