August 1999 in “Mechanisms of Development” This study identified two novel genes, pmg-1 and pmg-2, expressed in various skin and gland tissues and potentially involved in the differentiation of epithelial cells in epidermal appendages.
April 2023 in “Cancer research” This study suggests that KRTAP2-3 may serve as a novel biomarker to identify cells in the polyaneuploid cancer cell state, which is linked to therapy resistance and poor prognosis in prostate cancer.
