This study found that loss of Apc due to K14-cre-mediated gene recombination in mice led to aberrant growth in ectodermally derived squamous epithelia, implicating its critical role in specifying epithelial cell fates during embryonic development.

This study found that a cuticle keratin gene in sheep is a pseudogene due to gene duplication and mutations, lacking expression in vivo.

In this study, researchers identified the PLD-mGluR protein in primary mechanosensory terminals as the homomeric GluK2 kainate receptor, functioning purely metabotropically, which is suggested to be common to various sensory endings.

This study found that paxillin knockdown in human granulosa-derived cells and mouse models decreased androgen receptor protein levels and altered gene expression, suggesting paxillin's role in protecting against androgen excess effects, as observed in a polycystic ovary syndrome mouse model.

In this study, researchers identified a novel KRT74 gene mutation associated with autosomal recessive pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia in a Pakistani family, expanding the known genetic causes of the disorder.

This study found that Pik3r1 Y657* mice, which model human SHORT syndrome, show increased energy expenditure despite insulin resistance, but this is not due to changes in locomotion, thermoregulation, or Ucp1-dependent thermogenesis, suggesting a different metabolic mechanism may protect against lipotoxicity.

This study found that downregulating PI3K in common bean severely impaired symbiosis with beneficial microorganisms, indicating an essential role for autophagy-related processes in these mutualistic interactions.

GNPTAB gene is crucial for normal hair color in humans and mice.

In this study, researchers found that β-catenin directly promotes TERT expression in stem and cancer cells by interacting with the Tert promoter, illustrating a mechanistic link between tumorigenesis and pluripotency.

This thesis found that desmoplakin mutations in cardiocutaneous syndrome are linked to dose-dependent disease severity and identified mechanisms by which KLHL24 mutations cause cardiomyopathy, with rescue experiments successfully preventing this phenotype in patient-derived heart tissues.

This study identified CXXC5 as a key mediator of hair loss induced by PGD2 and DHT via suppression of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, with implications for potential therapeutic targets.

This study found that overexpressing PLC5 in Arabidopsis thaliana reduced root growth but improved drought tolerance, and suggests PIP2 is crucial for root hair growth.

This study identifies the PI4P-RHD4 module as a key regulator of GET pathway receptor dynamics in Arabidopsis, affecting TA protein insertion and root hair growth.

This study reports that in mice, CaR plays a critical role in sensing the epidermal Ca2+ gradient, influencing keratinocyte differentiation, and affecting epidermal development.

This study used Cisd2 knockout mice models and found that these mice display premature aging characteristics and an increase in dysfunctional neutrophils, suggesting Cisd2's role in calcium homeostasis and neutrophil function via interactions with Calnexin and SERCA.

This article reviews the role of Kremen proteins as regulators in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, highlighting their significance in development and cancer, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that higher Lnk expression in PCOS patients may contribute to insulin resistance by inhibiting insulin signaling pathways.

This study observed that Greek Caucasian women with PCOS had distinct serum hormone levels and a specific AKT2 gene SNP, which may play a role in the condition's characteristics.

This case study of a 45-year-old man from Tonga describes the identification of pachyonychia congenita through genetic testing, revealing a mutation in the keratin gene KRT16, associated with chronic painful skin and nail conditions.

Lasheras-Pérez et al. reported that JAK3 and TYK2 proteins are activated in certain forms of primary cicatricial alopecia, suggesting the JAK/TYK/STAT pathway as a potential therapeutic target for these conditions.

In this study, overexpression of ornithine decarboxylase accelerated basal cell carcinoma in Ptch1+/– mice under UVB exposure, while its inhibition reduced tumor induction, suggesting potential chemoprevention strategies in humans.

In this study, researchers identified the CBL1-CIPK26 Ca 2+ sensor-kinase complexes as key modulators of the NADPH oxidase RBOHC crucial for root hair differentiation in plants.

This study found that reduced cytokinin levels allow plants to adapt to low potassium conditions by enhancing root hair growth, reactive oxygen species accumulation, and expression of a key potassium transporter gene.

This study found that the absence of Sgk3 in mice leads to impaired hair follicle maturation, characterized by reduced cell proliferation, increased apoptosis, and premature regression.

This study found that exposure to 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate in mouse skin caused changes in claudin expression and localization, indicating disruption and eventual recovery of the epidermal barrier.

This study identified 15 Iranian patients with PLEC variants linked to various plectinopathies and highlighted a novel association between a homozygous nonsense variant in PLEC and a rare combination of disorders including EB pruriginosa, muscular dystrophy, and congenital myasthenic syndrome.

This study found that the absence of Ctip2 in epidermal keratinocytes led to impaired wound healing in mice, affecting cell migration, proliferation, and hair follicle stem cell maintenance.

This article reviews the connection between PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway mutations and heritable skin diseases characterized by tissue overgrowth, but it reports no new clinical results.
