research Regulation and Role of GLI1 in Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Pathogenesis
GLI1 might protect against the start of skin cancer and is not linked to cancer severity.
research Mutations in the Helix Termination Motif of Mouse Type I IRS Keratin Genes Impair the Assembly of Keratin Intermediate Filament
Mutations in specific keratin genes cause improper hair structure in mice due to faulty keratin protein assembly.
research The Mouse Hairy Ears Mutation Exhibits an Extended Growth (Anagen) Phase in Hair Follicles and Altered Hoxc Gene Expression in the Ears
The mouse hairy ears mutation causes longer ear hair due to changes in gene expression.
research The Peach RGF/GLV Signaling Peptide pCTG134 Is Involved in a Regulatory Circuit That Sustains Auxin and Ethylene Actions
The peach gene CTG134 helps control the interaction between auxin and ethylene, which could lead to new agricultural chemicals.
