This study found that mice lacking myelin protein zero-like 3 (Mpzl3) had reduced body weight and adiposity despite increased food intake, which was linked to higher energy expenditure and improved glycemic control.

In this study, the authors found that targeting mTORC1 with rapamycin inhibited TPA-induced skin tumor promotion by affecting keratinocyte proliferation, including critical stem cell populations in the mouse epidermis.

This study found that a spontaneous deletion in the Dsg3 gene of mice leads to hypomorphic desmoglein 3 expression, resulting in severe immunodeficiency, cyclic hair loss, and wasting disease, without causing the blistering typical of pemphigus vulgaris.

This study found that the development of Merkel cell carcinoma from hair follicles in mice can be driven by in vivo reprogramming with ATOH1 and relies on p53 loss for progression.

This study found that the K19 promoter is active in certain gastrointestinal cancer cells and its activity is influenced by the interaction between GKLF and Sp1 transcription factors.

In this study, the researchers observed significant down-regulation of Transglutaminase-3 expression in esophageal cancer tissues compared to normal tissues, suggesting its alteration is a common event in esophageal cancer development.

This study found that expression of certain mutant keratin genes in mice led to severe alopecia, suggesting a similar mechanism could cause hair loss in humans.

Keratinocyte cytokines and genetic variations influence the development of moles and skin pigmentation.

This study found that calmodulin 7 (CaM7) inhibits the calcium channel CNGC14 in root hairs, affecting their polar growth by controlling calcium signaling.

This study isolated and sequenced the complete gene rKAP4L1, which encodes a cysteine-rich hair keratin-associated protein in rabbit hair follicles.

This study observed that PCR-based genotyping for cre-loxP mice can lead to errors due to cre-mediated recombination in non-target tissues like tails, affecting the detection of lox alleles.

This study identified a new isozyme, 5α-reductase-3, at the mRNA level in human prostate tissue, but its protein expression and cellular localization remain unclear.

This study found that matriptase, a membrane serine protease, is crucial for maintaining multiple types of epithelial tissues in mice, with its absence leading to severe organ dysfunction and increased permeability.

This study found that downregulating PI3K in common bean severely impaired symbiosis with beneficial microorganisms, indicating an essential role for autophagy-related processes in these mutualistic interactions.

In this study, researchers identified two significant genetic polymorphisms in the 3'-UTR of the HSP70 gene in Moa buffalo, which may play an important role in heat adaptation, providing insights for conservation and performance improvement in tropical climates.

This study found that AtT-20 pituitary cells with higher cAMP-dependent kinase activity had larger calcium currents and significantly increased beta-endorphin release compared to cells with lower kinase activity.

This study reports that miR-302 promotes pluripotency by inhibiting NR2F2 and indirectly regulating OCT4 in stem cells, enhancing reprogramming efficiency when added to traditional factors.

In this study, researchers identified two new keratin-associated proteins, hKAP1.6 and hKAP1.7, in human hair follicles, contributing to understanding hair fiber differentiation.

GNPTAB gene is crucial for normal hair color in humans and mice.

This article discusses the potential genetic basis of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in women of African ancestry but does not provide new research results.

This review assesses existing knowledge about the 17q21.31 inversion polymorphism, highlighting its genetic structure differences across ancestries, associations with various diseases, and implications for precision medicine and drug discovery.

This review discusses the roles of KIT and mast cells in skin physiology and pathology using different genetic models and reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest further exploration of KIT deficiency.

This study identified a novel recessive mutation in mice causing lethal congenital lamellar ichthyosis, with skin and hair follicle alterations similar to human congenital ichthyoses, linked to a specific genetic defect affecting Fatp4.

This study found that the survival and proliferation of mouse melanocytes expressing the GNAQQ209L oncogene were impaired by interactions with the epidermal microenvironment, suggesting a possible mechanism for the rarity of these mutations in epidermal melanomas.

This study found that ablation of Tet2/Tet3 genes in skin epithelial cells altered hair shape and length, leading to hair loss, by affecting chromatin accessibility and gene expression related to hair follicle regulation.

This study developed a 3D ovarian cancer model using microtumours, which effectively mimics minimal residual disease and supports the identification of new drug targets like perhexiline for treatment-resistant cells.

This study found that colorectal cancer patients could be categorized into two groups based on mitochondrial-related gene features, with distinct survival outcomes and tumor microenvironment characteristics, suggesting these features could inform individualized treatment plans.

This study found that Neuregulin3 can influence the development and differentiation of mammary glands and epidermal features in mice, potentially by inducing c-Myc and altering cell proliferation and adhesion.

This study found that MPZL3 plays a crucial role in regulating the hair cycle clock in mice, with its absence leading to accelerated hair follicle cycling and suggesting potential therapeutic pathways for alopecia treatment.

This study suggests that DcR3 can reprogram macrophages towards a reparative state, enhancing wound healing and hair follicle regeneration, making it a potential target for treating chronic wounds and alopecia.
