May 2001 in “Endocrinology” This study suggests that Mrp3 may play a role in both wound healing and the hair follicle cycle as a growth factor and/or angiogenesis factor.
53 citations
,
August 2005 in “The Journal of Cell Biology” This study found that the absence of Sgk3 in mice leads to impaired hair follicle maturation, characterized by reduced cell proliferation, increased apoptosis, and premature regression.

March 2004 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences” This study reports that the DMI3 gene, essential for nodule formation in legume-rhizobial symbiosis, encodes a calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, highlighting its role in multiple plant symbioses.
6 citations
,
December 2023 in “Journal of Molecular Cell Biology” In this study, Gsdma1/2/3 knockout mice showed reduced epidermal hyperplasia and inflammation when induced by PMA, which was attributed to decreased EGFR-Stat3/Akt signaling due to a decrease in related ligands.
In this study, Sox13 was identified as a novel marker for early hair follicle development and differentiation in mice, though it appears to be dispensable for overall epidermal and adnexal development.
105 citations
