This study found that the administration of the mutant BRAF inhibitor dabrafenib in patients with metastatic melanoma was associated with various skin lesions, including keratinocytic proliferation that sometimes showed low-grade malignancy features.

In this study, human dermal fibroblasts were identified as natural host cells that support productive Merkel cell polyomavirus infection, and the MEK antagonist trametinib was introduced as an effective inhibitor to control the virus.

Fgfr2b helps maintain healthy skin and prevent cancer.

This review compiles epidemiological data on actinic keratoses and suggests promoting strategies like early diagnosis and photoprotection to prevent progression to skin cancer, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found widespread localization of parathyroid hormone-related protein in normal and cancerous canine tissues, suggesting a potential physiological role as a paracrine or autocrine factor.

This study found that in squamous cell carcinomas, the inhibition of the tumor-suppressor function of TAp73β by ΔNp63α occurs through promoter squelching, not direct protein interaction.

This review discusses changes in keratin structure or gene expression that result in various skin disorders and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that the serine protease BSSP is strongly expressed in mouse skin during carcinogenesis and is upregulated independently of c-Fos and unaffected by glucocorticoids.

This study found that in a transgenic mouse model, β-HPV infection led to increased skin thickness and proliferation of specific keratinocyte stem cells, which may contribute to squamous cell carcinoma development.

This study found that RAR-gamma 1 mRNA is present in multiple skin layers and structures, suggesting a role in maintaining and differentiating normal epidermis and skin appendages.

This review discusses the heterogeneity and plasticity of epithelial stem cells in skin homeostasis, wound healing, and tumorigenesis, reporting no new results but emphasizing the need for further exploration of key regulatory mechanisms.

In this study, re-activating SOX9 in adult epidermal stem cells led to a fate switch towards hair follicle stem cell identity, with altered chromatin dynamics and oncogenic activation, contributing insights into developmental processes and cancer pathways.

This perspective discusses Villani et al.'s findings on the role of the IGF regulatory protein Igfbp2 in basal cell carcinogenesis and highlights potential therapeutic and preventive targets, while raising questions about the cell of origin.

This study found that TET2 plays a tumor-suppressive role in preventing squamous cell carcinomas by regulating 5-hydroxymethylcytosine levels, suggesting therapeutic potential for DNA methylation dynamics.

This study reports that despite rescuing neurulation and skin barrier defects, Grhl3 gene overexpression in mice leads to hearing impairment, hair loss, and other developmental abnormalities, highlighting low tolerance for Grhl3 dysregulation.

This review discusses the clonal or polyclonal nature of skin carcinomas and the stem cell origins of basal and squamous cell carcinomas but presents no new research findings.

This study observed that targeted expression of the neu oncogene in transgenic mice led to significant epidermal hyperplasia and a carcinoma-like appearance, suggesting a crucial role for erbB2 signaling in epidermal proliferation and carcinogenesis.

This review discusses genome-wide association studies in dermatology, noting that variants linked to risk for 10 skin complex diseases have been identified, with potential implications for diagnostics and management; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) synthesis in human skin varies by cell type and condition, with distinct patterns in psoriatic, cancerous, and normal tissues.

In this study, CD4+ non-haematopoietic, skin-resident stem cell-like populations were identified in both murine and human epidermis, suggesting they may serve as potential basal cell carcinoma precursors.

In this case report, the authors describe a rare cystic panfolliculoma in an 84-year-old man's right conchal bowl, noting its potential to mimic other tumors like basal cell carcinoma, which complicates diagnosis.

In this histopathology study of nevus sebaceus, researchers observed distinct epidermal, sebaceous, follicular, and apocrine changes, including sebaceous hyperplasia and basaloid adnexal proliferation, which help differentiate it from similar conditions like basal cell carcinoma and trichoblastoma.

This study found that Shh and Dhh overexpression in mouse basal cells led to similar epidermal and limb phenotypes, suggesting Dhh functions similarly to Shh in skin, unlike Ihh.

This study found that NGAL expression in embryonic skin is spatio-temporally regulated and strongly induced in adult skin conditions with dysregulated differentiation, suggesting a role in epithelial differentiation pathways.

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.

In this study, researchers demonstrated that the expression of the oncogene SmoM2 leads to basal cell carcinoma in the ear epidermis of mice but not in the back skin, with differences in susceptibility linked to the composition of the extracellular matrix.

This study found that 11% of cutaneous focal mucinosis lesions demonstrated follicular induction, which can mimic basal cell carcinoma histologically and complicate diagnosis.

This review examines the origins and mechanisms of tumor initiation in common skin cancers, but does not present new experimental findings; it emphasizes the need for further research on cancer stem cells.

This review discusses the role of Sox2 in skin development, hair follicle regeneration, cancer, and wound healing, and reports no new experimental results.

This report examines the mechanisms by which TCDD affects human epidermal and carcinoma cells, aiming to create a risk assessment model for halogenated aromatic compounds, but presents no new clinical results.
