October 2020 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The study used Dct::CreERT2 transgenic mice to explore the role of β-catenin in melanocyte stem cell (McSC) renewal and pigmentation. Knocking out β-catenin in McSCs led to disrupted stem cell renewal and pigmentation defects, causing permanent hair whitening in the mice. This demonstrated that β-catenin was essential for McSC renewal and mature melanocyte production. The findings highlighted a previously unreported function of β-catenin in McSC renewal, and the Dct::CreERT2 mouse line was established as a valuable tool for studying adult McSCs and pigmentation.
