This study found that transgenic mice overexpressing the BMP antagonist noggin showed increased hair follicle size and altered hair type, linked to changes in cell proliferation and gene expression.

This study found that BMP signaling influences hair pigmentation in mice by affecting the Agouti protein and interacts with MC-1R pathways to modulate melanin production.

This study found that overexpressing the BMP inhibitor Noggin in transgenic mice led to a significant loss of nontylotrich hair follicles, suggesting a critical role for BMP signaling in hair follicle morphogenesis and cycling.

Noggin promotes skin tumors by activating certain cell signaling pathways.

This study found that overexpression of PKCepsilon in mouse epidermis was associated with increased susceptibility to metastatic squamous cell carcinoma, potentially through a mechanism involving tumor necrosis factor-alpha.

This review examines how mathematical modeling of the MAPK pathway, enhanced by single-cell proteomic data, improves understanding of regulatory mechanisms, predicts system behavior, and guides experimental research, emphasizing recent developments in modeling and inference.

This study found that overexpression of PKCɛ in mouse epidermis increased sensitivity to metastatic squamous cell carcinoma, suggesting that a PKCɛ-mediated microenvironment may promote cancer development through specific cytokines like TNFα.

This study found that active BMP signaling prevents epithelial stem cell activation and expansion in hair follicles, while its inhibition leads to HF stem/progenitor cell overproduction and matricomas.

This study found that rete ridge morphogenesis in mammalian skin is directed by a BMP-dependent developmental program, which is evolutionarily distinct from other known pathways controlling the development of hair follicles, sweat glands, and fingerprint ridges.

In this study, transgenic mice with active BMPR1A signaling in the epidermis had impaired hair follicle morphogenesis and showed age-related hair loss, implicating BMP signaling in hair follicle development and homeostasis.

This study found that full-length Agouti protein modulates melanocortin receptor signaling through a dual mechanism involving competitive antagonism and receptor down-regulation, whereas the carboxyl-terminal fragment acts solely as a competitive antagonist.

In this study, N-WASP deficiency in mouse skin was found to cause severe alopecia and disrupt hair follicle cycling by 5 months, highlighting its critical role in skin function and Wnt signaling.

This study demonstrated that Forsythiaside A protected against oxidative stress in both cell models and a mouse model of liver damage, suggesting its potential as a liver-protective agent.

This study found that targeting HSP70 can suppress basal cell carcinoma growth, underscoring the importance of tumor microenvironment interactions in cancer progression.

This study found that in keratin 14-targeted transgenic mice, BMP antagonism via noggin led to the development of hair follicle tumors, mediated through alterations in Wnt and Shh signaling pathways.

This review highlights challenges in developing drugs targeting the Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway for cancer due to its complexity and essential roles in normal tissue. It explores targeted protein degradation technology as a promising strategy to overcome these challenges, suggesting potential new avenues for drug development.

This study found that SCUBE3 protein is upregulated in various cancers, promoting tumor growth and poor outcomes, while suppressing growth in renal cell carcinoma, and may serve as a diagnostic marker and potential therapeutic target for several diseases due to its secreted nature.

This article discusses the roles of retinoic acid in cellular differentiation and its side effects like hair loss, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study suggests that folliculin, mutated in Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome, and its partner FNIP1 may play a role in energy and nutrient sensing through the AMPK and mTOR pathways.

In this study, treatment with recombinant DKK2 was shown to significantly stimulate hair progenitor cell growth and enhance hair shaft elongation in ex vivo human hair follicle cultures by activating the Wnt/ẞ-catenin signaling pathway, suggesting a potential role for DKK2 in promoting hair growth.

This study observed that proteins in the mTOR signaling pathway are expressed differently in the hair follicles of patients with lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, suggesting a role in the pathogenesis of these conditions.

In this study, EGCG from green tea promoted mink hair follicle growth and cell proliferation at specific concentrations, potentially through activation of Shh and AKT signaling pathways.

This study found that PKCα activation in transgenic mice induces keratinocyte apoptosis and mediates neutrophilic skin inflammation via different pathways, suggesting potential mechanisms for cutaneous inflammatory diseases.

This study observed that retinoic acid biosynthesis and signaling in hair follicles have a spatial and temporal regulation linked to distinct stages of the hair cycle in mice.

In this study, researchers found that people with Parkinson's disease showed higher levels of inflammasome proteins, including caspase-1, ASC, and IL-18, compared to healthy individuals, suggesting these proteins as reliable biomarkers for inflammation in PD.

This review discusses the clinical forms and causes of androgenization in women, as well as therapeutic options, reporting success with antiandrogens like cyproterone acetate and spironolactone for skin symptoms, though results are not permanent.

This study found that using a Picosecond IR Laser (PIRL) on mouse skin led to less tissue damage and scarring compared to conventional surgical lasers and tools.

This study suggests that the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway plays a role in the regulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis, and cycling in rat urethral plate fibroblasts affected by finasteride-induced hypospadias.

In this study, transgenic mice expressing a truncated form of latent transforming growth factor-β-binding protein exhibited altered hair cycles due to increased active transforming growth factor-β, impacting keratinocyte proliferation and hair cycle phases.
