February 2020 in “EMBO Reports” This study concluded that MEX3A is critical for maintaining Lgr5+ intestinal stem cells by regulating the PPARγ pathway, impacting intestinal homeostasis during postnatal development in mice.
The research found that while Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b are not necessary for skin homeostasis in mice, the loss of Dnmt3a increases squamous tumor formation from carcinogens, and combined deletion of both results in more aggressive and metastatic tumors.
