April 2024 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” In this mouse model study, researchers found that deleting the ASH2L gene in epidermal progenitor cells led to thinner epidermal layers, delayed hair follicle development, and reduced epidermal stem cell pools, with alterations in genes related to hair follicle development and the Notch signaling pathway.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this study using a mouse model of Pemphigus vulgaris, researchers found that loss of desmoglein 3 adhesion in hair follicle stem cells triggers a regenerative program restoring stem cell function, requiring Hedgehog pathway suppression.
March 2022 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” July 2026 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” In this study, researchers observed that TCDD exposure in mice enhanced sebaceous gland differentiation and lipid production before causing seboatrophy, providing insights into the cellular events that may contribute to chloracne pathogenesis.
