This review discusses the role of YAP/TAZ proteins in skin cancer physiology and tumorigenesis, and the potential of targeting these proteins in skin cancer treatments, but presents no new experimental findings.

In this study using mouse models, researchers found that elevated IL-17a in aged olfactory epithelium impairs olfactory function, while IL-17a inhibition promotes regeneration and mitigates age-related decline.

In a keratinocyte-specific knockout mouse model, this study found that deleting GRK2 disrupted hair follicle homeostasis, causing cyst-like structures, abnormal growth patterns, and eventual hair loss, suggesting potential links to immune-mediated alopecias.

This study found that deleting all three Tet genes in mice led to shorter hair shafts and altered hair types, with associated changes in gene expression and DNA hydroxymethylation.

This study found that while epidermal PLCγ1 is not necessary for keratinocyte differentiation in interfollicular epidermis, it is crucial for normal hair and sebaceous gland formation in mice.

This study found that vitamin D regulation plays a crucial role in connecting metabolic and cardiovascular conditions, influencing gene expression related to these disorders in both kidney and heart tissues.

In a conditional knockout mouse model, this study found that loss of the transcription elongation factor SPT6 in basal keratinocytes led to psoriasis-like skin inflammation and delayed wound healing, suggesting SPT6 plays a crucial role in maintaining epidermal immune quiescence by suppressing proinflammatory NF-κB signaling.

In a dermal Gorab knockout mouse model, this study found that Gorab mutations increase P53 protein accumulation and disrupt extracellular matrix expression, contributing to accelerated skin aging and suggesting a pathway involving epigenetic regulation.

This study used Cisd2 knockout mice models and found that these mice display premature aging characteristics and an increase in dysfunctional neutrophils, suggesting Cisd2's role in calcium homeostasis and neutrophil function via interactions with Calnexin and SERCA.

This study found that knockout mice lacking SMS1 showed reduced body weight and hair loss, indicating a role for SMS1 in normal growth and hair health.

This study observed that vitamin D receptor knockout mice exhibit impaired epidermal differentiation and progressive hair loss, suggesting the importance of the vitamin D receptor in normal skin and hair follicle development.

This study analyzed skin from 538 knockout mouse mutants and identified 50 with epidermal phenotypes, providing valuable insights into genetic conditions and systemic effects related to skin abnormalities.

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.

This study found that conditional knockout of N-WASP in keratinocytes of mice led to skin barrier defects, increased immune cell infiltration, and hyperproliferation of keratinocytes, indicating its crucial role in skin homeostasis.

This study found that calbindin-D9k knockout mice on a maternal vitamin D-deficient and low-calcium diet developed transient alopecia, but a high-vitamin D and calcium diet in mothers reduced this effect.

This study suggests that in gp91phox-knockout mice, tranexamic acid administration led to brown hair by increasing MGRN1 and collagen XVII levels, while the retention of black hair appears to rely on the gp91phox/ROS/IL-1β/TGF-β pathway.

This study found that FRβ knockout mice exhibited autoimmune symptoms and slower tumor growth compared to wild type mice, suggesting that the FRβ receptor may play a role in regulating immune responses in tumors and autoimmune conditions.

This study found that Dab2 conditional knockout mice experienced delayed hair follicle cycles and reduced hair follicle stem cell activity, suggesting Dab2's crucial role in regulating stem cell activation and anti-aging process in hair follicles.

This study found that FPR2 knockout mice experienced excessive hair loss and abnormal hair follicle structures, suggesting FPR2's protective role in hair regeneration through stem cell activity regulation.

This study found that MPZL3 knockout mice showed reduced dermal white adipose tissue and increased sebocyte proliferation, suggesting a regulatory role for MPZL3 in lipid metabolism balance between adipocytes and sebocytes.

This study found that in Vdr-knockout mice, hair follicles fail to complete the catagen stage, leading to persistent epithelial strands and subsequent hair loss.

This study found that male 5αR1 knockout mice and obese Zucker rats treated with finasteride showed increased insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis, potentially implicating 5α-reductase activity in metabolic liver disease development.

This study found that deleting β-catenin in epidermis-specific VDR knockout mice did not prevent UVB-induced skin tumors, indicating β-catenin does not compensate for VDR's role in tumor suppression.

In this study, knockout mice lacking the Cyp4f39 gene showed severe skin barrier dysfunction and high early mortality, suggesting its critical role in skin barrier formation and insights into ichthyosis pathogenesis.

In this study using mice with specific gene knockouts, both farnesyltransferase and geranylgeranyltransferase-I were found to be essential for the proliferation and survival of skin keratinocytes.

In this study, Alox15 knockout mice exhibited disrupted skin integrity and increased inflammation, suggesting that Alox15-mediated resolvin D2 production is crucial for maintaining skin homeostasis by suppressing inflammation.

In this study, knockout of B-raf and C-raf genes in mice showed they are not needed for early melanocyte development, but are crucial for maintaining melanocyte stem cells, as evidenced by hair graying due to stem cell depletion.

This study found that the loss of Msx2 in knockout mice led to phenotypes similar to Peters anomaly and microphthalmia, suggesting that MSX2 plays a critical role in anterior segment development of the eye.

This study found that male 5α-reductase 2 knockout mice showed deficits in social dominance behaviors and reduced dopamine receptor binding in a brain region related to social ranking.

This article reviews sPLA2-mediated phospholipid metabolism using sPLA2 transgenic/knockout mice and lipid mass spectrometry, offering insights into the distinct roles of sPLA2 enzymes in various biological events.
