In this study, mice engineered to express human EGFR showed tissue-specific growth defects and neurodegeneration rescue, but developed severe heart issues and accelerated bone cell differentiation.

This study found that FLCN deficiency in mice muscles led to increased mitochondrial biogenesis and a metabolic shift towards oxidative phosphorylation, with a similar advantage observed in FLCN-null kidney cancer cells.

This review covers the molecular basis of Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome and its implications for potential therapeutic targets, but it does not report new experimental results.

In this study using Xenopus laevis embryos, reduced levels of the desmosomal protein desmoplakin led to defects in epidermal and cardiac structures, suggesting its crucial role in tissue integrity.

This study suggests that fibromodulin may regulate transforming growth factor-β activity during scar formation, influencing the transition from fetal scarless repair to adult scar-forming repair in rats.

This study found that recombinant human FGF9 expressed in Arabidopsis thaliana oil bodies significantly promoted the proliferation of NIH/3T3 cells.

This study suggests that canonical BMP signaling, particularly involving Smad1 and Smad5, plays a critical role in hair follicle stem cell regulation and hair morphogenesis, with distinct roles from pSmad8.

In this study, inactivating the TAF4 subunit of transcription factor TFIID in mouse epidermis disrupted gene expression linked to skin and hair function, and increased tumor risk.

In this study, researchers reported that hair follicle stem cells maintain quiescence through a PIEZO1-dependent mechanism that senses mechanical forces and translates them into localized calcium influx, involving a transcriptional network that regulates cell adhesion and cytoskeleton-related genes.

This study identified that the Wave complex proteins ABI1 and Wave2 play a crucial role in regulating epidermal shape and growth during skin development, notably influencing SOX9 expression and Wnt signaling pathways.

This study used developing mouse hair follicles to explore early epithelial bud formation, finding that the Rho GTPase regulator ARHGEF3 plays a crucial role in regulating cell fate and cadherin patterning, with knockouts showing disrupted morphology and increased straight hair follicle growth.

This study discusses two cases of acneiform skin eruptions associated with the use of the EGFR inhibitor ZD1839 in prostate cancer treatment, emphasizing the need for dermatologists to be aware of potential skin reactions.

This study found that BBS7 downregulation in occlusal hypofunctional PDL affects Sonic hedgehog signaling activity, impacting PDL homeostasis.

This study reports that the loss of the protein Memo in mice leads to a reduced lifespan and suggests that Memo is a key regulator of FGFR signaling and vitamin D production.

This study developed a kidney-specific knockout mouse model lacking the Flcn gene, which recapitulates human Birt-Hogg-Dubé kidney tumorigenesis and shows that mTOR pathway inhibition with rapamycin can suppress tumor growth.

In this study, researchers identified that three homologous genes—ZmSPL10, ZmSPL14, and ZmSPL26—are crucial for the development of stigmatic papilla in maize, with triple knockout mutants lacking these genes showing almost no stigmatic papilla and significantly reduced kernel setting.

This review discusses the roles of fibroblast growth factors in tissue regeneration and repair across various organisms and tissues, but reports no new experimental findings, underscoring the need for further research.

This study found that BBS7 is crucial for maintaining Shh signaling and periodontal ligament homeostasis, with occlusal hypofunction leading to its downregulation and impacting cell migration and angiogenesis.

This study found that a transcription factor called FoxA is specifically required for the regeneration of the planarian pharynx, suggesting its critical role in organ-specific regeneration.

In this study, researchers observed that low levels of fucose-binding lectin staining characterize limbal epithelial progenitor cells, which maintain a high proliferative capacity and may be enhanced by inhibiting fucosylation, offering insights for regenerative therapy of the limbal stem cell niche.

This study found that lncRNA RP11-818024.3 transfection promoted hair growth in AGA mice and increased cellular proliferation in vitro, potentially involving the FGF2 and PI3K-Akt pathways.

FGF18 may influence hair loss in dogs.

This study found that a gene from hamster flank organs is indirectly regulated by androgens, despite lacking direct androgen responsive elements, indicating involvement of androgen-dependent transcription factors.

This study found that the protein Formin 2 helps regulate cell-to-cell transport in thale cress by stabilizing actin filaments at plasmodesmata, with its absence leading to increased permeability and vulnerability to viral infections.

This study suggests that the transcription factor PDF2 in Arabidopsis may link lipid sensing with growth responses to phosphate starvation by acting as a sensor for lyso-PCs through its START domain.

This study revealed that deleting EZH2 in mesenchyme-derived cells of the female reproductive tract led to impaired uterine gland development and pregnancy loss in mice, highlighting EZH2's crucial role in fertility.

This study identified a large deletion in the desmoglein 4 gene as the genetic basis of the Iffa Credo "hairless" rat's skin phenotype, linking it to lanceolate hair mutations.

This study found that homozygous mutant mice with a hypomorphic CD18 mutation developed a chronic inflammatory skin disease resembling human psoriasis, potentially implicating additional genetic factors in disease susceptibility.
