December 2001 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The study introduced a tracheal xenotransplantation assay to investigate epithelialization, hair follicle formation, and tumorigenesis using primary epidermal cells from both wild-type and transgenic mice. It demonstrated that keratinocytes overexpressing ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) combined with v-Ha-ras infection became invasive and malignant, whereas those expressing only one of these factors did not. The assay was also effective for hair follicle reconstitution, with fresh keratinocytes and fibroblasts forming hair follicles more successfully than cultured cells. This system provided a controlled environment to explore keratinocyte physiology, gene expression, and hair follicle development, particularly when cell numbers were limited.

November 2015 in “Carcinogenesis” The study demonstrated that the genetic deletion of TNFα in PKCε transgenic mice inhibited the development of cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) induced by ultraviolet radiation (UVR) or the DMBA-TPA protocol. The absence of TNFα in these mice led to increased latency and decreased incidence of SCC. This inhibition was associated with reduced expression of TNFα receptors, cell proliferation markers, and metastatic markers, as well as decreased activation of transcription factors Stat3 and NF-kB, and reduced proliferation of hair follicle stem cells and epidermal hyperplasia. The findings provided genetic evidence linking TNFα to PKCε-mediated sensitivity to SCC development.
