This study found that mutations in type I IRS keratin genes disrupt keratin protein complexes in mice, suggesting crucial roles for these genes in proper hair coat formation.

In this study, human dermal fibroblasts were identified as natural host cells that support productive Merkel cell polyomavirus infection, and the MEK antagonist trametinib was introduced as an effective inhibitor to control the virus.

In this study, researchers overexpressed Lrig3 in mouse skin and observed hair loss linked to changes in skin protein profiles and signaling pathways, suggesting a potential role for Lrig3 in maintaining skin homeostasis.

In this study, the ablation of Tet2/Tet3 genes in mouse skin epithelial cells led to altered hair shape and length, highlighting their role in regulating hair follicle gene expression and chromatin structure.

This study found that upregulating miR-325-3p in glioma suppresses tumor cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by inhibiting FOXM1, suggesting its potential as a treatment target for brain cancer.

In this study, mice lacking the Mcpip1 gene in their myeloid cells did not develop SCC-like tumors but instead showed increased melanocyte activity and hair loss, indicating a distinct role for myeloid Mcpip1 in skin cancer development compared to keratinocyte Mcpip1.

This study found that MPZL3 plays a crucial role in controlling sebaceous gland size and sebocyte proliferation in mice and humans, implicating its potential involvement in skin disorders like acne and psoriasis.

This study found that deleting all three Tet genes in mice led to shorter hair shafts and altered hair types, with associated changes in gene expression and DNA hydroxymethylation.

This study found that patients with the MITF p.E318K variant are more likely to develop multiple primary melanomas and dysplastic nevi with uncommon dermoscopic patterns compared to non-carriers.

In this study, the authors reported that AtRXR3, a phosphorus-inducible DUF506 protein, modulates root hair growth under phosphorus stress by interacting with calmodulin and influencing calcium oscillations.

In this study, crossing mice overexpressing antizyme with MEK mutants significantly delayed tumor development and reduced tumor frequency, likely by slowing cell growth in skin tumors.

This study found that the PP2A-B55α regulatory subunit is crucial for ectodermal development in mice, with knockout embryos displaying severe neural and epidermal defects and failing to survive to birth.

In this study, researchers identified specific gene polymorphisms in Subo Merino sheep that significantly affect wool traits, suggesting these genetic markers could aid in breeding high-quality fine-wool sheep.

This study suggests that mouse keratin 6 isoforms, K6a and K6b, have overlapping but distinct expression profiles, differing notably in their expression in suprabasal cells and response to phorbol esters.

This study found that overexpression of NSD3 in the mammary gland of transgenic mice led to mammary hyperplasia, dysplasia, and invasive ductal carcinoma, mirroring patterns seen in human breast cancer.

This study characterized the intron-exon organization of human keratin 15 and keratin 19 genes to aid future mutation detection analyses related to potential genetic disorders of keratinization.

This study identified nine pathogenic variants in the PADI3 gene, and variants in the S100A3 and TCHH genes, which may disrupt protein function and contribute to central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.

This review examines genetic variation in the ovine KRTAP1.1 gene and its potential impact on wool quality, reporting no new findings but suggesting opportunities for developing gene markers for wool and pelt traits.

This study highlights a novel connection between the DNMT3B enzyme, metabolic flux, and the self-renewal and differentiation of human embryonic stem cells.

In this study, researchers identified five unique sequences of the ovine KAP13-3 gene, with potential implications for wool traits due to observed amino acid changes.

This study found that the wavy coat trait in Nakano cataract mice is polygenic, involving major and minor genes, and resembles human curly scalp hair associated with the PRSS53 gene alteration.

This study identified a new FAK isoform, FAKΔe4, which is regulated by ECM stiffness and affects cell migration, invasion, and mechanosensing in human-derived data and engineered models.

In this study, PKCepsilon transgenic mice showed increased TNFalpha shedding during skin tumor promotion, which may contribute to the development of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma.

This study found that deleting Smad2 and Smad3 in murine skin leads to severe skin abnormalities and cancerous lesions, similar to but more severe than those seen in Smad4 mutants, indicating the critical role of TGF-β signaling in skin development.

This study found that mice lacking the type 3 IP(3) receptor in their hair follicles experienced repetitive hair loss and regrowth, indicating disrupted hair-cycle regulation potentially linked to specific signaling pathways.

This research found that the microtubule catastrophe factor KIF18B plays a crucial role in promoting spindle orientation in keratinocytes, linking this process to cell fate decisions during hair follicle morphogenesis.

This study found that overexpression of the transcription factor Tcf3 accelerates keratinocyte migration and skin wound healing in mice, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for wound repair.

In this study, the researchers successfully cloned and sequenced the hairless gene cDNA of Kunming mice, revealing high conservation and functional significance among various mammalian species.

This review discusses the role of TGM3 in skin and hair follicle biology, human tumor pathology, and genetic abnormalities, and reports no novel results; the authors highlight its potential as a cancer diagnostic biomarker.
