This proof-of-concept study reported that a new, ultra-fast, one-step immunohistochemistry method improved the interpretation of Mohs surgery slides, particularly for poorly differentiated tumors.

This study evaluated the effects of topical glucocorticoids on human skin using non-invasive imaging methods and observed changes such as alterations in skin layer thickness, keratinocyte size, and collagen and elastin signal intensity.

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.

In this study, HPH-15, a newly synthesized compound, demonstrated potential in reducing skin fibrosis in a mouse model by targeting underlying pathogenic mechanisms and exhibited a good safety profile, warranting further clinical trials for fibrotic skin disorders like systemic sclerosis.

In this study, deep phenotyping of 68 patients with XPD gene defects successfully separated individuals by clinical diagnosis and survival status, potentially improving diagnosis and prognosis for xeroderma pigmentosum and trichothiodystrophy.

In this study, higher plasma leptin levels were associated with increased risk and severity of androgenetic alopecia in men, but further research is needed to understand the clinical implications.

This study identified a novel missense MAFB variant in a family with some unaffected members, suggesting incomplete penetrance and the potential influence of modifier genes, epigenetic mechanisms, or environmental factors on MCTO phenotype.

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 identified the expression sites of five KAP5 genes on human chromosome 11q13.5 in scalp skin sections but did not explore their detailed distribution within hair follicles.

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 study identified a mutation hotspot in the caracul (Ca) locus of mice, implicating the mK6irs1/Krt2-6g gene in hair formation and potentially human hair and skin diseases.

This study demonstrated immunological cross-reactivity between mycobacterial heat-shock protein 65 and human epidermal cytokeratin 1/2, suggesting that this cross-reactive epitope might play a role in skin diseases.

This study observed that K5Cre +/+ transgenic mice develop a distinct phenotype characterized by wavy hair, curly whiskers, and an increased rate of papilloma malignant transformation.

This review discusses the role of the CXXC5 protein as a transcription factor and signaling coordinator, noting its involvement in embryonic development, tissue homeostasis, and diseases such as tumorigenesis, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that deleting the Mof gene in mouse skin leads to severe defects in skin cell self-renewal, differentiation, and hair follicle growth, indicating that MOF is crucial for mitochondrial and ciliary gene expression and essential for skin development.

This study found that conditional deletion of Mof in mice resulted in severe defects in skin development, including compromised epidermal differentiation and hair growth, leading to perinatal lethality.

In this study, targeting the expression of a keratin KRT5/KRT8 chimeric cDNA in keratin-deficient mice partially restored structural defects in epidermal cells, but did not fully normalize skin health.

This study identifies a new mutation in the Scd1 gene in a strain of Kunming mice, causing skin and hair defects with the mildest impact among similar mutations.

This chapter discusses the synthesis and analysis of near-infrared fluorescent activity-based probes for imaging cysteine protease activity, reporting potential benefits for disease diagnosis but noting challenges in imaging specific locations with high cathepsin activity.

This study identified a novel missense mutation in the FGF5 gene associated with the longhair phenotype in about 3% of Maine Coon cats, suggesting it may be a breed-specific variant.

In this study, researchers found that β-catenin directly promotes TERT expression in stem and cancer cells by interacting with the Tert promoter, illustrating a mechanistic link between tumorigenesis and pluripotency.

A new mouse mutation causes skin and hair issues, influenced by another gene.

This study found that Dock5 plays a crucial role in keratinocyte function and wound healing, with its expression reduced in diabetic models but improving healing when restored.

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 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 study found that specific variants of the KAP6-1 gene in cashmere-producing goats were associated with changes in fiber diameter and length, suggesting potential as genetic markers for fiber improvement.

This study found that PRMT5 inhibitors showed potent anti-tumor activity in models of adenoid cystic carcinoma and that combining these inhibitors with lenvatinib may have additional growth-inhibitory effects.

The researchers investigated a Maine Coon cat with suspected classical Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and discovered a heterozygous deletion in the COL5A1 gene, underscoring the value of whole-genome sequencing for precise veterinary diagnostics.

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.
