This study found that TSC2-null fibroblast cells from TSC skin hamartomas can induce hair follicle formation and hamartomatous changes in keratinocytes, with active mTOR signaling observable in a mouse xenograft model.

This case report documents the first known instance of FOXN1 duplication linked to congenital hypertrichosis.

This study found that mrp/plf-mRNA expression in murine skin increases in response to different tumor promoters, suggesting its potential as a short-term biomarker for chemical carcinogenesis.

This study found that Cathepsin E plays a crucial role in keratinocyte terminal differentiation, affecting epidermis formation and homeostasis in mice.

This study found that activating KATP channels with pinacidil may reduce antioxidant levels and mortality in honey bees, suggesting a role in regulating antiviral immunity through reactive oxygen species.

This study identified epiprofin as a highly tissue-specific nuclear protein that promotes cell proliferation, mainly expressed in the developing teeth, hair follicles, and limbs of embryonic mice.

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 super-enhancers in squamous cell carcinoma stem cells are distinctly different from those in normal skin stem cells, with ETS2 playing a crucial role in promoting tumor growth.

This study found that 17β-estradiol inhibited RANTES production in human keratinocytes by suppressing nuclear factor κB activity, suggesting a potential mechanism for 17β-estradiol's modulation of psoriasis-related inflammation.

The study reports that the AVET system showed higher efficiency in transfecting cultured human keratinocytes compared to SuperFect and PrimeFector, with AVET reaching levels of enzyme activity similar to normal cells in keratinocytes from lamellar ichthyosis patients.

This study found that chemically induced skin tumors in mice predominantly originated from Lgr6 + and/or Lrig1 + stem cells of the upper hair follicle rather than from other stem cell populations.

This study identified KLHL24 as a new gene linked to a subtype of epidermolysis bullosa simplex, highlighting its role in unresolved cases by involving a degradation-resistant truncated protein impacting keratin turnover.

This review discusses the role of keratins in epithelial cell stress protection and cancer, highlighting their potential as multifunctional regulators and diagnostic markers, without presenting new research findings.

This study found that the protein Formin 2 helps regulate cell-to-cell transport in thale cress by stabilizing actin filaments at plasmodesmata, with its absence leading to increased permeability and vulnerability to viral infections.

In this study, researchers identified a gene regulatory network in Arabidopsis that controls root hair growth under low-temperature conditions, revealing specific transcription factors and downstream targets that contribute to this growth response despite overall plant development being halted.

This study found that transgenic mice overexpressing E2F1 in their epidermis developed skin tumors, confirming in vivo that deregulated E2F1 activity can contribute to tumor development.

This study found that Stat3 deletion in certain skin cells led to increased differentiation and altered stem cell behavior, suggesting its significant role in skin tumor development and keratinocyte migration.

This study found that genetic activation of Nrf2 in keratinocytes accelerates wound repair by enhancing cell proliferation and re-epithelialization, suggesting potential use for Nrf2-activating compounds in individuals with impaired healing.

This study found that mutations in the TMPRSS6 gene affect the ability of matriptase-2 to inhibit hepcidin, which may impact the molecular pathogenesis of iron-refractory iron-deficiency anemia.

This study found that Celsr1, not Celsr2, is the primary protein involved in establishing planar cell polarity and hair follicle polarization in the epidermis of mice.

This study found that the RNA helicase DDX6 is essential for maintaining self-renewal in epidermal progenitor cells by promoting the translation of proliferation regulators and degrading differentiation-inducing mRNAs.

In this study on Chinese Tan sheep, researchers discovered a variant of the KRTAP19-5 gene associated with decreased curvature of fine wool fibres, highlighting potential genetic markers for improving wool quality.

This study demonstrated that a keratin gel promotes nerve regeneration across critical defects in rabbit models, showing improved nerve conduction and muscle action potential compared to control treatments.

In this study, researchers found that the efflux of calcium in root hairs of Arabidopsis thaliana, particularly through the ER-localized ACA2 and ACA7, is crucial for modulating cytoplasmic calcium signals and enabling proper root hair growth, with disruptions leading to impaired elongation.

In this study, expressing human K16 in the epidermis of K14 null mice prevented early skin blistering but led to age-related anomalies, indicating K16 and K14 have distinct roles despite their sequence similarity.
