14 citations
,
August 1943 in “Archives of Dermatology” This study reported that applying natural or artificial folliculoid compounds to mouse skin caused estrous-like changes in internal sex organs, but did not lead to cancerous skin changes.
13 citations
,
April 1964 in “PubMed” This study found no significant differences in phosphatide distribution between normal and cancerous mouse epidermis during different stages of growth, despite variations in total phosphatide levels.

11 citations
,
August 2000 in “Journal of Endocrinology” In this study, treatment with DHEA induced mild to moderate hyperplasia of sebaceous glands in ovariectomized rats, which was prevented by the antiandrogen Flutamide but not by the antiestrogen EM-800.
9 citations
,
December 2002 in “Novartis Foundation Symposium” In this research, LEF1 was identified as a crucial transcription factor for submucosal gland development in mouse and ferret tracheas, though it requires other factors to induce gland formation.
8 citations
,
April 2016 in “Experimental Dermatology” The researchers reported that in mice, the type of tumor suppressor deleted along with oncogenic Kras activation in HFSCs influenced the specific squamous cell carcinoma phenotype that developed.
6 citations
,
November 2018 in “Histochemistry and Cell Biology” This study observed that gerbils exhibit a different wound healing mechanism compared to mice, with lower TGF-B1 expression and distinct tissue responses, yet achieve similar healing outcomes.
6 citations
,
February 1997 in “International Journal of Dermatology” In this study, the lack of cathepsin expression in Kaposi's sarcoma lesions suggests a benign hyperplastic origin for these lesions.

June 2021 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that β-catenin stabilization in specific mammary epithelial lineages leads to cellular changes and the formation of hyperplastic lesions, revealing its role in initiating mammary neoplastic development.
January 2025 in “International Journal of Genomics” This study identified three hub genes—BMP4, POSTN, and WNT5A—that are closely associated with keloid fibroblast hyperplasia, suggesting they may serve as potential biomarkers for inhibiting this condition. Further research is necessary to fully understand their roles in keloid development.
