In this study, researchers used computational modeling and virtual screening to identify two FDA-approved drugs, Tadalafil and Finasteride, that may effectively inhibit key proteins involved in melanoma progression, suggesting potential for new therapeutic strategies against aggressive melanoma.

This study demonstrated that the highly divergent WDSV rv-cyclin significantly stimulates eukaryotic cell proliferation, leading to hyperplastic skin lesions in transgenic mice.

In this study, pre-treatment with 5-α-reductase inhibitors (finasteride/dutasteride) in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma was associated with better immune checkpoint inhibitor effectiveness and improved progression-free and overall survival, without increasing severe side effects.

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 found that CD2 could be a potential new therapeutic target for treating patchy-type alopecia areata, suggesting the need for further research into its role.

This study suggests that activating AMPK to phosphorylate ZDHHC13 may enhance MC1R function and reduce melanoma risk in individuals with red hair.

In this study, researchers found that deficiencies in Gsdma1/2/3 significantly inhibited the initiation and progression of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) in mice, suggesting GSDMA's role in promoting cSCC proliferation and its potential as a therapeutic target.

This study found cutaneous keratinic amyloid deposition in dogs and identified cytokeratin 5 as an amyloid precursor protein, revealing new insights into the etiology of cutaneous amyloidosis.

This study found that the E6 gene, but not E7, was responsible for HPV8-induced expansion of keratinocyte stem cells in hair follicle junctional zones in mice.

This study found that phenyl-imidazole sulfonamide derivatives, particularly ISCK03, inhibited c-kit signaling and promoted depigmentation in various experimental settings, suggesting potential use as skin-whitening agents.

This study developed a DPC cell line by introducing mutant CDK4, Cyclin D1, and TERT, making it a promising tool to study downstream signaling pathways activated by testosterone in androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, researchers found that inhibiting IKKα in patient-derived CCS tumour models reduces tumour viability, supporting the potential for topical IKKα inhibitors as a treatment for CCS.

This study identified and sequenced several keratin cDNA clones showing distinct expression patterns in mouse epithelia, with in situ hybridization highlighting differences in keratin distribution between normal and hyperproliferative tissues.

This case report highlights the use of microarray analysis to identify cryptic chromosomal rearrangements in a young woman with intellectual disability and multiple congenital anomalies.

This study found that small molecule AP-1 inhibitors may selectively target SMO inhibitor-resistant basal cell carcinoma cells characterized by specific markers, potentially enhancing combinatorial cancer therapies.

This study found that a truncated region of the K5 promoter directs expression in stratified epithelia, particularly in epidermis, hair follicles, and tongue, potentially involving specific keratinocyte nuclear proteins in regulation.

This review discusses the calcineurin/NFAT pathway's role in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, noting its involvement in tumor development, skin cell behavior, and the tumor microenvironment; it reports no new results.

In this study, silencing P-cadherin in human scalp hair follicles reduced melanogenesis and associated protein expression, suggesting P-cadherin is crucial for normal hair pigmentation via GSK3β-mediated Wnt signaling.

This review discusses the roles of KIT and mast cells in skin physiology and pathology using different genetic models and reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest further exploration of KIT deficiency.

This study by Flores and colleagues found that the type of tumor that develops in a specific subset of epidermal stem cells is influenced by which tumor suppressor gene is deleted.

This study found that depletion of KRT17 in endometrial cancer reduced cell growth, motility, and angiogenesis, suggesting KRT17 as a potential therapeutic target.

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

The Celsr1 gene is crucial for normal hair patterning in mice.

In this study with mice, simultaneous inactivation of Smad4 and PTEN genes led to rapid development of invasive forestomach squamous cell carcinomas, mirroring human esophageal SCCs.

This study found that inhibiting the interaction between CXXC5 and Dishevelled could stimulate hair regrowth in mouse models by enhancing WNT/β-catenin signaling, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for hair loss involving compounds that block this interaction, such as interfering short peptides.

This study found that PRC1 plays crucial roles in skin epithelial stem cell regulation, with catalytic and non-catalytic functions impacting epidermal integrity, hair development, and Merkel cell dynamics in murine models.

In this study, researchers found that the loss of SETDB1 in epidermal keratinocytes led to altered chromatin states, increased ERV expression, and activation of immune responses, while inhibiting these effects with certain antiviral drugs reduced skin inflammation and hair loss in a mouse model.

This study found that treating aged mice with the Cdc42 inhibitor CASIN restored hair follicle stem cell functionality and improved hair regeneration by inducing anagen onset and increasing anagen skin areas.

This article discusses the human KRT72 wild-type allele's role in hair formation and reports no new research findings.
