February 1999 in “Biochemical Journal” The study created transgenic mice overexpressing the SSAT gene, leading to significant changes in polyamine levels and permanent hair loss, with the liver showing a notable reduction in spermine. Despite high SSAT mRNA levels, enzyme activity increased only moderately unless induced by ZnSO4 or DENSPM, which drastically boosted enzyme activity and depleted liver polyamines, resulting in high mortality and liver damage. This indicated that SSAT overexpression made the mice highly sensitive to polyamine analogues and suggested a post-transcriptional regulation mechanism for SSAT expression involving translational or RNA processing control.
42 citations,
July 2017 in “Molecular therapy” A form of vitamin E promotes hair growth by activating a specific skin pathway.
37 citations,
November 2017 in “Medical Sciences” Melanoma's complexity requires personalized treatments due to key genetic mutations and tumor-initiating cells.
33 citations,
January 2018 in “Blood” Ruxolitinib helps protect skin stem cells and keeps skin healthy in mice with skin GVHD.
30 citations,
June 1993 in “The Journal of Cell Biology” The study examined the impact of a mutant Adenovirus E1a oncoprotein, NTdl646, on skin cells in transgenic mice, revealing that its expression led to abnormal hair follicle maturation, characterized by short, crooked hair shafts and a dystrophic or absent inner root sheath. Despite these hair follicle abnormalities, the surrounding skin remained normal, and there was no increase in skin tumors. The keratinocytes in these mice showed partial resistance to growth inhibitors, suggesting that the oncoprotein disrupted normal hair follicle development by interfering with growth regulatory proteins, without causing cancerous growth.
