August 2015 in “The Italian Journal of Pediatrics/Italian journal of pediatrics” The document reviewed congenital generalized hypertrichosis, a rare condition characterized by excessive body hair growth, which could be isolated or part of complex malformation syndromes. It distinguished hypertrichosis from hirsutism and classified it based on onset, distribution, and association with other anomalies. While congenital hypertrichosis was rare, acquired hypertrichosis was more common and linked to various causes like drug side effects and metabolic disorders. The review highlighted that hypertrichosis often accompanied other clinical signs such as intellectual delay and epilepsy. A 20-year follow-up of a previously described patient was also discussed, emphasizing the condition's role as an indicator of complex syndromes.

March 1988 in “Experientia” The study from 1988 investigated the effects of anti-EGF serum on newborn mice, finding that it delayed eyelid opening and incisor tooth eruption, accelerated hair growth, and delayed weight gain. These findings suggested that epidermal growth factor (EGF) played a physiological role in the first week after birth, which could be disrupted by the administration of anti-EGF serum.

January 2006 in “Carcinogenesis” The study tested whether suppressing ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity could block skin tumor promotion in mice with activated MEK mutations. By crossing these mice with those overexpressing antizyme (AZ), which degrades ODC, researchers found that AZ expression significantly delayed tumor development and reduced tumor numbers. This effect was most pronounced in MEK/K6-AZ mice, which had fewer than one tumor per mouse after 8 weeks, compared to over 13 tumors in MEK-only mice. The study suggested that AZ primarily inhibited putrescine accumulation, slowing cell growth by increasing G2/M transit time, without inducing apoptosis.
