This study found that the absence of unliganded vitamin D receptor significantly impairs cWnt and hedgehog signaling pathways necessary for hair cycle initiation in VDR-null mice.

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.

This study found that the transcription factors Msx2 and Foxn1 are crucial for maintaining Notch1 expression in the hair follicle matrix, which is necessary for proper hair differentiation.

This study observed that PCR-based genotyping for cre-loxP mice can lead to errors due to cre-mediated recombination in non-target tissues like tails, affecting the detection of lox alleles.

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.

Activating Wnt in skin cells controls the number of hair follicles by directing cell movement and fate.

This study indicates that CD4 protein may have a functional role in basal cell-like keratinocytes through TCR/CD3-independent signaling, affecting their proliferation, differentiation, and migration.

This study found that induced COX-2 expression in adult transgenic mice led to hair follicle miniaturization and enlargement of sebaceous glands, and suggests that targeting the PGD2 pathway might reverse these effects.

This study found that inhibiting the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) prevented UVB-induced basal cell carcinomas in a mouse model, suggesting ODC is a potential target for chemoprevention strategies.

This study found that the K6/ODC transgenic mouse model is highly sensitive to identifying genotoxic carcinogens, showing 100% concordance with traditional rodent bioassays.

This study found that the cytoplasmic dynein component Dynlt3 is essential for effective melanosome transport and transfer in mouse melanocytes, linking melanosome positioning and acidity to the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

This case study reports that a heterozygous missense GJA1 mutation, p.Gly138Ser, in a 2-year-old boy with oculodentodigital syndrome primarily resulted in syndactyly, fifth finger hypoplasia, and hypotrichosis, without neurological or craniofacial abnormalities.

This study identified novel genetic variants related to rare skin and hair disorders, expanding the understanding of conditions like COLED, EV, and monilethrix, including a newly discovered type I keratin gene, KRT31, as a cause for monilethrix.

This study developed a culture method to expand and differentiate primary mammary basal cells, identifying key transcription factors like EGR1 and ELF3 that influence Claudin expression and actin organization, offering insights into epithelial cell biology and potential applications in related research fields.

In this study, individuals with a c.1072C > T mutation in the EDAR gene showed more hair shaft deformations compared to non-mutation carriers, highlighting EDAR's role in hair follicle development.

This study observed dynamic changes in CD10 and CD34 expression in fetal and adult human hair follicles during embryogenesis and hair cycling.

This study found that overexpression of the calcium sensing receptor in transgenic mice accelerates epidermal differentiation and hair growth, suggesting its role in enhancing calcium signaling and interaction with other pathways.

In this case study, a girl with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets had a novel mutation in the VDR gene that affected hair cycling without causing total alopecia, suggesting ligand-independent VDR function in hair cycling.

This study found that super-enhancers play a crucial role in driving malignant progression in squamous cell carcinoma stem cells through a regulatory network involving ETS2 transcription factors, highlighting the potential link between high ETS2 levels and poor patient outcomes in head and neck cancers.

Sox13 is a new marker for early hair follicle development and differentiation.

This study found that p21 is much more highly expressed in normal melanocytes compared to melanoma cells, suggesting a potential target for preventing melanoma progression through cell cycle repair processes.

This study found that platelet-secreted chemokines like CXCL7 are crucial for early neutrophil recruitment and efficient muscle regeneration in injured mice.

This study suggests that Mcl-1 has a non-apoptotic role in promoting keratinocyte proliferation and Wnt/β-catenin signaling, potentially indicating a novel oncogenic activity.

This case report describes the first confirmed instances of X-linked adrenomyeloneuropathy/adrenoleukodystrophy in two brothers from Bangladesh, noting their progressive neurological symptoms, MRI findings, and differing disease outcomes over several years of observation.

This study reports a novel mutation in the TP63 gene associated with T and B cell lymphopenia in an EEC patient, suggesting that EEC diagnosis should include TREC assay and evaluation for immunodeficiency.

This study found that cortisone reductase deficiency is caused by inactivating mutations in the H6PD gene, affecting cortisol metabolism by preventing 11β-HSD1 enzyme function.
