This study explored the molecular mechanisms determining the identity of keratinocytes and corneal epithelial cells, finding that miRNAs from the Gtl2-Dio3 region, which regulate key signaling pathways, play a significant role in cell identity through the Hox/Gtl2-Dio3 miRNA axis.

Understanding and targeting specific molecules can help reduce scarring and promote scar-free healing.

In this study, transgenic mice expressing Msx-2 developed flaky skin with hyperproliferation and misalignment in epidermal cells, suggesting Msx-2 plays a role in skin and appendage growth control.

Type I keratin genes are closely linked to the rex locus on mouse chromosome 11, affecting hair development.

This study found that the transcription factor HB24 plays a critical role in root hair elongation in Arabidopsis thaliana by promoting the conversion of indole-3-butyric acid to indole-3-acetic acid through regulation of IBR1 expression.

In this study, Msx-2 knockout mice showed enhanced re-epithelialization and faster wound closure compared to wild-type controls, suggesting Msx-2 may influence skin morphogenesis during wound repair.

This study found that PBX1 enhances the proliferation and reprogramming of hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells by activating the AKT/GSK3β signaling pathway, promoting NANOG expression, and inhibiting apoptosis.

This study suggests that targeting the increased expression of SIX1 in systemic sclerosis may be a viable strategy for addressing dermal fibrosis.

This study found no significant difference in CUX1 core promoter methylation levels between different lambskin patterns in Hu sheep, suggesting other mechanisms influence CUX1 expression related to hair follicle development.

This review discusses novel molecular techniques in skin appendage research and summarizes the distribution of key molecules, but it reports no new experimental results.

This study characterized the Hoxc-13 gene from sheep wool follicles, noting its potential autoregulatory role and potential influence on skin function beyond hair keratin regulation.

This study found that integrin-linked kinase is crucial for various epidermal functions, including differentiation and barrier formation, and also plays a previously unreported role in melanocyte development and function.

This study found that the Foxn1(-/-) nude phenotype significantly influences epithelial progeny in skin, with notable changes in stem cell niches not achievable in other models.

This study examined genetic adaptations in Tibetan sheep through whole-genome resequencing, identifying key genes related to hypoxia tolerance, wool color, and body size. These findings provide a foundation for future molecular breeding strategies to enhance wool quality and adaptive traits in these high-altitude environments.

This study constructed a 3D-printed scaffold using sodium alginate, gelatin, and alginate lyase hydrogel, which supports hair follicle regeneration in artificial skin, suggesting a promising strategy for tissue-engineered skin with functional appendages.

This study found that Hoxc13 mutations in mice cause defects in hair, nail, and tongue structures, with the most noticeable issue being brittle hair leading to alopecia.

GLABRA2 gene controls root-hair growth by regulating phospholipid signaling.

Male infertility and genitourinary birth defects are often linked to genetic issues.

This study found that endothelial cells under serum deprivation significantly upregulated genes related to inflammation and coagulation, which may impact outcomes in tissue transfer procedures.

This study demonstrated that HOXC13 directly influences hair keratin gene expression by binding to specific DNA motifs, suggesting its role in early hair follicle differentiation.

This review summarizes the role of Hoxc13 in regulating hair follicle development and growth, noting its influence on keratin and keratin-associated proteins, and reports no new experimental findings.

This research reports that the polyG fragment within the Hoxc13 protein alters its gene regulatory functions, which could have influenced mammalian hair evolution by affecting pathways related to hair follicle development.

This study found that during hair follicle morphogenesis in embryos, the expression pattern of the Hoxc13 gene and skin thickness show similar trends, suggesting possible regulatory mechanisms within Hoxc13 intron regions.

This study found that the HoxC gene cluster plays a critical role in the development of ectodermal organs, including hair and nails, with mammalian-specific enhancers increasing transcription levels during development.

Hoxc13 is important for hair and tongue development by controlling hair keratin genes.

This study found that overexpressing the Hoxc13 gene in mice causes hair loss and a skin condition similar to ichthyosis, identifying several gene targets that may regulate hair growth.

This study identified a homozygous frameshift mutation in the HOXC13 gene associated with pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia in a consanguineous Syrian family, suggesting crucial roles for HOXC13 in hair and nail development.

The researchers found that HOXC13 regulates different keratin proteins in a mixed manner, with certain SNPs impeding this regulation, while also demonstrating negative-feedback by HOXC13 and positive regulation by LEF1 and melatonin on the HOXC13 promoter.

This research suggests that hair keratins evolved from claw keratins in a hairless ancestor, with Hoxc13 controlling their expression in tetrapods, evidenced by the knockout of Hoxc13 hindering claw formation in Xenopus tropicalis frogs.
