This study reported that deleting the MED1 subunit from the MED complex in keratinocytes resulted in disrupted hair differentiation and cycling, leading to hair loss in mice.

This study suggests that Foxn1 acts as a brake on PKC signaling in keratinocytes, thereby modulating the stages of differentiation by controlling PKC activity.

This study identified a new pathogenic variant, c.1081G>T; p.(Glu361*), in the KRT31 gene as a cause of autosomal-dominant monilethrix, highlighting the role of hair keratin proteins in hair and nail tissue disorders.

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 transgenic mouse study, preliminary findings suggest that overt melanocyte hyperplasia may require prior keratinocyte hyperplasia, indicating a potential role for keratinocyte mutation in early melanoma development.

This study identified a new cytokeratin, mK6irs, specifically expressed in the inner root sheath of mouse hair follicles, distinguishing it as a member of the type II cytokeratin family.

In this study, Mpzl3-/- mice developed severe seborrhea-like dermatitis with skin inflammation, indicating MPZL3's role in the skin condition's development, independent of adaptive immunity.

This study identified a critical NF-κB-LHX2-TGFβ2 signaling pathway essential for primary hair follicle development in mice, revealing new insights into the underlying mechanisms of morphogenesis.

LRIG1 protein affects hair growth by regulating skin receptors, leading to hair loss when overexpressed.

This study suggests that Myelin Protein Zero-like 3 plays a crucial role in hair follicle cycling by regulating anagen and catagen phases, mediated through mitochondrial signaling mechanisms in both human and murine hair follicles.

This study found that type II keratins in proliferating epithelial tissues are phosphorylated at a conserved motif during mitosis and stress, impacting keratin solubilization and reorganization.

In a keratinocyte-specific knockout mouse model, this study found that deleting GRK2 disrupted hair follicle homeostasis, causing cyst-like structures, abnormal growth patterns, and eventual hair loss, suggesting potential links to immune-mediated alopecias.

This study describes a case of cyclic thrombocytopenia where a novel MPL gene mutation may contribute to the disease, with gene expression changes in platelet and neutrophil genes preceding platelet count fluctuations.

This study demonstrates that Krt15 marks long-lived, multipotent, and injury-resistant crypt cells in the small intestine, which may serve as the cell of origin in intestinal cancer.

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 showed that a 2-kilobase upstream region of the mouse keratin 17 gene enables targeted GFP expression in major epithelial appendages of transgenic mice, indicating sonic hedgehog's involvement in its regulation.

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.

This study identified the expression sites of five KAP5 genes on human chromosome 11q13.5 in scalp skin sections but did not explore their detailed distribution within hair follicles.

MPZL3 protein affects hair growth cycles and could help manage hair loss.

This study found that Cutl1 mutant mice experienced retarded lung differentiation and abnormal hair follicle morphogenesis, indicating the vital role of CDP in lung development and hair follicle cell-lineage specification.

This study found that the unique functions of keratin 16 are likely determined by its tail domain, challenging the previous hypothesis about the role of the helix 1B subdomain.

In this study, researchers found that mosaic PLCD1 hotspot variants, even without the recognized germline "risk allele," may be a rare but significant genetic cause of nevus trichilemmocysticus, warranting DNA testing and sensitive sequencing technologies for accurate diagnosis.

This study found that cathepsin L deficiency in mice led to significant abnormalities in hair follicle development and cycling, including disrupted hair shaft outgrowth and premature hair growth phase entry.

Certain peptides can prevent hair loss in young rats caused by a cancer drug.

In this study, K19-lacZ transgenic mice exhibited epithelial-specific reporter gene expression in tissues such as the pancreas and stomach, suggesting the K19 promoter is a valuable tool for studying epithelial cell biology.

This study discovered that calcium dependent protein kinase 1 (CPK1) directly activates cyclic nucleotide-gated channels 5, 6, and 9, promoting root hair growth in Arabidopsis by regulating Ca²⁺ signaling.

This study identified four immune-related signaling molecules (LGR5, PTN, JAG1, and DKK1) associated with keloid, suggesting their potential role in its pathogenesis and as targets for new treatments.

This study found that targeting mTORC1 with rapamycin effectively inhibited skin tumor promotion in a mouse model, highlighting a potential target for cancer chemoprevention.

This study found that Dkk4-knockout mice exhibited disrupted hair follicle patterning, including a lack of the first wave of hair follicles in the lateral back skin.

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.
