This study suggests that mouse keratin 6 isoforms, K6a and K6b, have overlapping but distinct expression profiles, differing notably in their expression in suprabasal cells and response to phorbol esters.

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.

This study found that as few as 90 base pairs of the K5 promoter directed keratinocyte-preferred expression in stratified epithelia, especially in epidermis, hair follicles, and tongue, showing cell type specificity.

This study found that sulfated CCK octapeptide reduces psoriasis-like skin inflammation in mice, suggesting a new pathophysiological role for CCK in regulating epidermal inflammation.

This study provides evidence for K1 and K10 derivatives' presence in the inner root sheath and hair cuticle, suggesting that these hair follicle parts may follow familiar keratinization principles.

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.

A specific gene mutation (Y449H in K10) was found in a patient with severe skin disorder.

This study observed that the small molecules KY19382 and KY19334 inhibited cancerous traits in human cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma cells by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, indicating their potential as treatments for cancers involving CDK1 overexpression and diseases related to CXXC5 accumulation.

This study reported that a Megsin-Cre transgene enables genetic manipulation primarily in skin, forestomach, and esophagus tissues, offering a new tool for studying development and diseases in these areas.

Krox20 is crucial for hair growth and maintaining skin stem cells.

In this study, the researchers reported that Krox20 plays a crucial role in epidermal homeostasis and hair development, influencing stem cell maintenance and cell survival through the modulation of cellular pathways.

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.

In this study, researchers identified the CBL1-CIPK26 Ca 2+ sensor-kinase complexes as key modulators of the NADPH oxidase RBOHC crucial for root hair differentiation in plants.

In this study, topical inhibition of casein kinase 1 in mice was found to enhance melanocyte precursor migration and eumelanin production, suggesting potential applications for treating vitiligo and graying hair through KitL/c-Kit signaling pathway activation.

In this study, researchers observed that knocking out KCNQ3 in mice increased firing frequencies in response to stimuli, particularly at slow mechanical indentation velocities, indicating a role in mechanosensory neuron sensitivity.

This study observed that COX-2 overexpression in transgenic mice led to a significant reduction in skin tumor development compared to controls, challenging the expected role of COX-2 in promoting tumors.

This study found that activating CXCR2 on ras-transformed keratinocytes promotes migration and tumor development in a mouse skin model.

This study provides evidence supporting a regulatory relationship between the transcriptional regulator Hoxc13 and Krtap16 genes, which are crucial for proper hair growth in mice.

This study suggests that the transcription factors SP1 and KROX20 regulate CUX1 gene's effect on the proliferation of ovine dermal papilla cells in vitro.

In this study, β-catenin overexpression in human hair outer root sheath cells increased the expression of Pitx2, which activated the follicular differentiation pathway, suggesting Pitx2's potential role as a modulator in hair growth control.

This article reviews the role of Kremen proteins as regulators in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, highlighting their significance in development and cancer, but reports no new clinical results.

This phase I study reported that ETC-159, targeting Wnt signalling, showed tolerable safety profiles at doses that inhibit its pathway, though bone turnover markers increased, warranting early and regular monitoring. No tumor responses were observed, but two patients achieved stable disease for several cycles.

This study found that mice with a mutant CDP/Cux protein lacking the homeodomain showed severely impaired growth, high postnatal mortality, and reduced fertility, highlighting CDP/Cux's role in developmental regulation.

In this study, researchers found multiple somatic mutations and copy number variations in a patient with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, providing novel insights into its potential genetic mechanisms.

This study reviews the role of the zinc finger protein CXXC5 in cellular signaling and its implications for cancer, discussing how its dysregulation is linked to various physiological and pathological processes, as well as potential therapies targeting CXXC5.

This study identified a new type II cytokeratin, named K6hf, exclusively expressed in the companion layer of the human hair follicle, distinguishing it from other keratins and suggesting a unique biochemical role.

This study found that CB1 activation by a specific agonist led to decreased expression of keratins K6 and K16 in human skin and inhibited keratinocyte proliferation, suggesting potential for cannabinoid receptors in psoriasis management.

This study found that mice with a homozygous knockout of the Ten1 gene, developed through CRISPR-Cas9-mediated exon 3 deletion, exhibited telomere shortening and symptoms consistent with accelerated aging, such as reduced lifespan, skin changes, aplastic anemia, and cerebellar hypoplasia.

In this study, ATP-sensitive potassium channel openers, diazoxide and minoxidil, reduced scratching in cholestatic mice, suggesting these channels may play a role in cholestatic itch, while the channel blocker glibenclamide increased scratching behavior.
