May 2024 in “PLoS Biology” This study on feather pattern formation in chicken skin found that inhibiting gap junctional intercellular communication can lead to the emergence of new feather buds in specific spatial patterns, suggesting that GJIC may facilitate Turing-type periodic patterning by propagating inhibitory signals over long distances.
April 2023 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that gap junctional communication influences feather patterning by modulating Turing-type activator-inhibitor systems in chicken skin, suggesting its role in propagating inhibitory signals crucial for pattern formation.
January 2022 in “International journal of dermatology and venereology” This case study reports a 36-year-old man with KID syndrome caused by an N14Y GJB2 mutation, expanding the mutation spectrum of this condition in the Chinese population.
October 2023 in “Case reports in dermatological medicine” In this case report, a 45-year-old Jordanian woman was diagnosed with Clouston syndrome, an autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by alopecia and nail dystrophy due to a mutation in the GJB6 gene, though she lacked the typical palmoplantar keratoderma.
September 2022 in “Indian Journal of Paediatric Dermatology” This case report documents the first confirmed mutation-proved instance of Clouston syndrome in a large Chinese-Malaysian family, linked to the c.263C>T (A88V) mutation in the GJB6 gene, with no available treatment but highlighting the importance of genetic counseling.
April 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study suggests that mutation-targeted siRNA therapy could potentially treat keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome by selectively reducing harmful GJB2 mutant gene expression in patient-derived keratinocytes.

January 2022 in “BioMed Research International” This study suggests that Gujian oral liquid may reduce osteoarthritis symptoms by regulating inflammation and catabolism through the TNF-α/NF-kappa B signaling pathway, as confirmed by both in vivo and in vitro experiments.
January 2026 in “Animal Genetics” This study investigated a Labrador Retriever with paw pad hyperkeratosis and identified a unique de novo heterozygous missense variant in the GJB6 gene, suggesting its potential role in the condition, analogous to Clouston syndrome in humans, although differences between species may provide further insights.
