April 2018 in “International Journal of Research in Dermatology” In this study, 82% of systemic lupus erythematosus patients at a tertiary care center in India exhibited skin manifestations, including photosensitivity, malar rash, discoid rash, and oral ulcers.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this animal study, the researchers found that DPP4 plays a crucial role in scar formation and wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis in mice, impacting regenerative repair.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that the protein p63 requires morphogenetic signals to regulate gene expression effectively during skin cell differentiation, highlighting its complex role in therapeutic reprogramming for conditions like epidermolysis bullosa.
September 2016 in “Journal of dermatological science” This research explored the components of stem cell niches to better understand how epidermal stem cells are maintained, focusing on CD271+ cells in specific skin layers.
