This study explored the molecular mechanisms determining the identity of keratinocytes and corneal epithelial cells, finding that miRNAs from the Gtl2-Dio3 region, which regulate key signaling pathways, play a significant role in cell identity through the Hox/Gtl2-Dio3 miRNA axis.

Docetaxel and oxaliplatin are effective and have manageable side effects for recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer.

This study validated a protocol for inducing surface ectoderm differentiation from human induced pluripotent stem cells and highlighted the role of TGFβ signaling pathways in this process.

This study suggests that inactivation of β-catenin is necessary for chick retina regeneration, as it allows cells to enter the cell cycle during injury and promotes regeneration without needing FGF2.

This study describes three new cases of MCOPS6 with BMP4 variants, noting expanded phenotypic variability but no clinically apparent microphthalmia in these individuals, which is commonly reported in the disorder.

This review discusses how stem and progenitor cells communicate to synchronize their differentiation responses, highlighting the challenges in identifying these mechanisms and surveying new technologies that may overcome these obstacles.

This study observed that COX-2 overexpression in transgenic mice led to a significant reduction in skin tumor development compared to controls, challenging the expected role of COX-2 in promoting tumors.

In this study, researchers investigated the role of the ATX-LPA axis in asthma pathogenesis using human and mouse models and highlighted the potential for developing new ATX inhibitors as effective asthma treatments.

This review discusses the origins of skin and esophageal cancers and reports no clinical results; it emphasizes the role of cyclooxygenase-2 in tumorigenesis and differentiation.

This research discusses potential cancer vaccine strategies using cell-based and DNA vector-based approaches, and suggests targeting the v3 splice variant of thioredoxin reductase 1 to inhibit cancer cell motility and metastasis formation.

This study found that transgenic expression of COX-2 in mouse basal keratinocytes causes epidermal hyperplasia and certain dysplastic features at specific body sites.

This research observed that oxytocin receptor agonists WAY267464 and LIT001 increased hair growth-related gene expression in human dermal papilla cells and significantly promoted hair follicle sprouting in vitro, suggesting their potential as hair growth agents targeting OXTR for alopecia treatment.

This phase I study reported that ETC-159, targeting Wnt signalling, showed tolerable safety profiles at doses that inhibit its pathway, though bone turnover markers increased, warranting early and regular monitoring. No tumor responses were observed, but two patients achieved stable disease for several cycles.

This study reports that oxytocin receptor expression in keratinocytes shows a potential relationship with touch sensory neurons, suggesting a role in skin sensitivity and the broader function of sensory neurons.

This study found that COX-2 expression in normal rat skin is linked to the hair cycle, with varying levels observed in different skin structures during anagen, catagen, and telogen phases.

This study found that TPA treatment transiently induces high levels of ODC in mouse epidermal cells, particularly around hair follicles, with localization reduced by retinoic acid or cycloheximide pretreatment.

In this study, β-catenin overexpression in human hair outer root sheath cells increased the expression of Pitx2, which activated the follicular differentiation pathway, suggesting Pitx2's potential role as a modulator in hair growth control.

This study found that in early retinal neurogenesis in mice, the transcription factor Lhx2 regulates Sonic Hedgehog signaling by controlling expression of pathway genes like the co-receptors Gas1 and Cdon.

This study developed a transgenic mouse model to explore androgenetic alopecia, finding that inducible COX2 expression led to sebaceous gland changes and hair miniaturization, with reversible effects upon reducing COX2.

Rat hair follicle stem cells have functional oxytocin receptors, useful for studying neuropsychiatric disorders.

This study suggests that the COX-2 enzyme plays a role in hair follicle biology, as transgenic overexpression in mice induced hair follicle cycling disturbances and alopecia, which was mitigated by COX-2 inhibition.

In this study, introducing the rat OTC gene into spf-ash mice led to increased OTC activity and normalized hair growth and biochemical markers like urinary orotic acid and serum citrulline, partially correcting the symptoms of OTC deficiency.

This study found that ISX9 may activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and holds potential as a therapeutic agent for treating alopecia.

This study found that induced COX-2 expression in adult transgenic mice led to hair follicle miniaturization and enlargement of sebaceous glands, and suggests that targeting the PGD2 pathway might reverse these effects.

This study identified ISX9 as a novel agonist of the Wnt/β‐catenin pathway, which promoted hair regrowth in mice and may offer a therapeutic approach for alopecia.

This study found that the transcription factor Lhx2 regulates Sonic Hedgehog signaling in mouse retinal progenitor cells, mainly by controlling the expression of co-receptors essential for effective pathway activation during early retinal neurogenesis.

This study found that the X-linked gene UTX is crucial for regulating skin differentiation and inflammation in females by affecting retinoic acid signaling, also highlighting potential links to sex disparities in skin diseases.

This study found that the Lim-homeodomain transcription factor Lhx2 regulates Sonic Hedgehog signaling during early retinal neurogenesis in mice by controlling the expression of pathway genes in retinal progenitor cells.

This study explored the effects of oxytocin on hair growth and found that it upregulated growth-promoting factors in dermal papilla cells and hair follicle organoids, suggesting potential for developing new alopecia treatments.

This study explains that while trichothiodystrophy and xeroderma pigmentosum share genetic defects, TTD patients primarily exhibit issues in transcription initiation, not the increased skin cancer risk seen in XP.
