This study identified two novel genes, pmg-1 and pmg-2, expressed in various skin and gland tissues and potentially involved in the differentiation of epithelial cells in epidermal appendages.

Schwann cell and M2 macrophage interactions contribute to keloid growth by increasing matrix deposition.

This report highlights a case of possible association between myotonic dystrophy type 1 and basal cell carcinoma, urging clinicians to consider this link despite negative genetic testing for known hereditary BCC syndromes.

This study suggests that chronic treatment with TPA in mouse skin selectively expands a keratinocyte subpopulation hyperinducible for ODC, which may be a key target for neoplastic transformation.

This study found that a specific T-cell receptor motif associated with lipid-antigen stimulation may play a role in the pathogenesis of folliculotropic mycosis fungoides.

This study found that benign tumors with a high risk of malignant progression primarily arise from hair follicle cells when a mutant ras gene is expressed in a specific population of epidermal cells in mice.

This study discovered that the gene Tfap2b identifies a melanocyte stem cell population in zebrafish, essential for regenerating melanocytes with multi-fate potential into adult pigment cells.

This study found that 11% of cutaneous focal mucinosis lesions demonstrated follicular induction, which can mimic basal cell carcinoma histologically and complicate diagnosis.

This study found that monilethrix in three unrelated European families is linked to the type II keratin gene cluster on chromosome 12q13, with no evidence of defects in type I keratins.

This study found significant variation in tissue mutant load in individuals with the T8993G mutation, which complicates genetic counseling and may inform genotype-phenotype correlations, especially using hair bulb mtDNA analysis.

In this case report, researchers identified a novel homozygous missense mutation in the MBTPS2 gene associated with the mild form of IFAP syndrome in a 7-year-old boy.

This study produced and characterized four new monoclonal antibodies that specifically recognize differentiation antigens in human hair follicle and epidermal structures.

This study found that phospho-S6 is strongly expressed in malignant hair follicle tumors but only patchily in a minority of benign tumors, indicating a potential marker for distinguishing between the two.

This study found that upregulated miR-149 restricted hair follicle stem cell differentiation and hair growth by inhibiting the MAPK1/ERK2 pathway, which affects FGF2 and c-MYC expression.

This study found that prophylactically administering amotosalen-treated allogeneic donor T cells at transplantation significantly improved immune reconstitution and protection against murine cytomegalovirus infection without inducing graft-versus-host disease.

This report describes a rare case of folliculotropic and syringotropic CD8 mycosis fungoides with unusual widespread mucosal involvement.

In this study, researchers isolated five new compounds from Monascus purpureus wmd2424 and found that four exhibited mild antifungal activity against several fungi.

This study reports that patients with specific MFN2 mutations, including p.Arg707Trp, exhibit significant upper body fat overgrowth with suppressed leptin production, suggesting tissue-selective mitochondrial dysfunction and potential therapeutic targets.

This study demonstrated immunological cross-reactivity between mycobacterial heat-shock protein 65 and human epidermal cytokeratin 1/2, suggesting that this cross-reactive epitope might play a role in skin diseases.

This study found that Merkel cell carcinoma recurrence risk peaks within the first two years after diagnosis and varies significantly by stage, with immune suppression, age, and male sex also influencing risk.

This study reports that a clinical prognostic model based on immune-related genes improved survival prediction for patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma, also identifying potential drugs targeting the gene DOCK8.

This study demonstrated that 5-azacytidine treatment may reduce TSC lesion-related hair follicles in mice, suggesting chromatin remodeling agents could be effective for tuberous sclerosis cutaneous lesions lacking tuberin.

This study identified a set of tumour-suppressive microRNAs (miRNAs), termed 'normomiRs', that are highly expressed in normal tissues but low in tumors, with miR-206 and miR-381 showing significant in vitro cancer inhibition, highlighting their potential for miRNA-replacement therapies across multiple cancer types.

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 reported that overexpressing ornithine decarboxylase in C57Bl/6 mice increased their sensitivity to tumor promotion by TPA, a change reversible by doxycycline treatment.

This letter to the editor shares a case study of lentiginous melanoma that appears clinically malignant but histopathologically benign, involving the BRAFV600R mutation.

This study presented at the ASCO Annual Meeting reported that the epidermal growth factor receptor antibody ABX-EGF showed preliminary efficacy in renal cell cancer patients, with tolerable side effects, while bortezomib demonstrated clinical benefit in a significant proportion of multiple myeloma patients.

This study found that keratinocyte stem cells in mouse skin are closely related to side population or BCRP1-positive cells based on their localization and marker expression.

This study found that HtrA2 inactivation in mnd2 mice is associated with delayed hair cycle phases and growth retardation of adipocytes, suggesting HtrA2's role in regulating adipogenesis-related hair growth.
