The researchers reported that mesenchymal stem cells promote wound healing by using Cx43 hemichannels to mediate ATP secretion, which supports macrophage polarization, angiogenesis, and fibroblast migration, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for improving tissue repair.

In this study, researchers found that connexin 43-negative cells in the basal layer of the epidermis could serve as markers for keratinocyte stem cells, aiding their identification and separation.

This review explores the role of Panx3 in skeletal formation and discusses its potential in developing new therapies for conditions like osteoarthritis, without presenting new clinical findings.

This review compiles data on how the apelinergic system may protect against heart damage caused by doxorubicin cancer treatment, suggesting its potential to mitigate cardiotoxicity, though further research in chronic models is needed to confirm these effects and mechanisms.

This study sequenced and analyzed the goat skin transcriptome, revealing genes involved in signal transduction and cell communication that are differentially expressed during hair growth phases, providing insights for Cashmere goat breeding.

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.

This study found that Pannexin 3 plays a crucial role in skin development by regulating the transcription factor Epiprofin, affecting keratinocyte differentiation and hair follicle regeneration in mice.

This study presents evidence that keratitis–ichthyosis–deafness syndrome is caused by a mutation in the connexin 26 gene, expanding the gene's known involvement in various disorders.

This study found that mutant Cx43 impairs fibroblast function during wound healing and reduces hair follicle cell proliferation, likely contributing to hair growth defects in ODDD patients.

This study observed that mice with a Cx43 mutation exhibited slower and asynchronous hair regrowth with severe cuticle weathering, mimicking aspects of hair phenotype in some ODDD patients.

This study found that finasteride treatment in male rats may lead to changes in connexin 43 expression in the testes of their offspring, potentially affecting spermatogenesis.

In this study, researchers found that coordinated intercellular Ca2+ signaling among basal stem cells in mice is crucial for cell cycle progression and tissue-wide communication during epidermal regeneration.

This study found that epidermal stem cells in live mice exhibit coordinated intercellular Ca 2+ signaling governed by G2 cycling stem cells and mediated by Connexin43, essential for tissue-wide communication during regeneration.

This study identified a high-risk allele in the PLCD1 gene associated with hereditary trichilemmal cyst formation, proposing a monoallelic two-hit mechanism as the underlying genetic pathogenesis.

This study used cryo-electron microscopy to reveal the structural mechanisms by which TRPV6 and TRPV3 ion channels open, close, and are regulated, providing insights for potential future research.

This case report highlights the association of three CX26 gene mutations, particularly the D50N mutation, with keratitis–ichthyosis–deafness syndrome and its potential role in scalp squamous cell carcinoma and breast cancer development in a patient.

This study reports the development of a novel protocol to purify human TRPV3 ion channels, revealing functional properties and differences in ligand interactions, enabling further structural and functional research.

CaBP1 and CaBP2 are necessary for proper hearing and neurotransmission in the ear's inner hair cells.

CaBP1 and CaBP2 are necessary for proper hearing and neurotransmission in the ear's inner hair cells.

CaBP1 and 2 are important for maintaining the activity of calcium channels necessary for hearing in inner ear cells.

This study developed a new method to analyze Cantú syndrome mutations in KATP channels, finding that while Kir6.1 mutations increase sensitivity to potassium channel openers, SUR2B mutations show reduced sensitivity, but both result in marked hyperpolarization compared to wild-type channels under basal conditions.

This study suggests that structural changes in the TRPV3 channel are linked to severe skin conditions like Olmsted syndrome, with differences observed between heat-activated and resting states.

This study found that heterozygous mice overexpressing Claudin-6 experienced alterations in epidermal and hair follicle differentiation, leading to distinctive coat characteristics and a disrupted epidermal permeability barrier.

This study identified two novel mutations in the CDH3 gene causing HJMD in a Chinese patient, expanding the genetic and phenotypic understanding of the disorder.

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.

Isolated patchy heterochromia with pili annulati can occur without other health issues.

In this study, PINCH-1 gene loss in mouse epidermis led to detachment from the basement membrane, thickened skin, and hair loss, with findings suggesting PINCH-1 plays a role in keratinocyte adhesion through both ILK and EPLIN pathways.
