July 2023 in “Inflammation and Regeneration” This study found that ALKBH5 plays a critical role in wound re-epithelialization by enhancing the stability of PELI2 mRNA, and its absence delays wound healing. Supplementation with PELI2 can partially rescue this delay, pointing to potential new therapies for stubborn wounds.
November 2023 in “Journal of animal science/Journal of animal science ... and ASAS reference compendium” This study investigated differences in gene expression in the mammary glands of SLICK and wild-type Holstein cattle, finding limited differences overall but identifying enriched pathways related to arachidonic acid metabolism and oxytocin production, which merit further exploration.

June 2007 in “Gene Expression Patterns” This study found that CTIP2 is highly expressed in mouse skin during embryogenesis and adulthood, suggesting it may play a role in skin development and homeostasis.
July 2022 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” In this study, researchers found that TSPyV T antigens can disrupt normal cell differentiation and proliferation in hair follicles and interfollicular epidermis, possibly contributing to trichodysplasia spinulosa pathology.
January 2024 in “RSC pharmaceutics” This source discusses using stratum corneum ablation as a promising method to enhance transdermal drug delivery by temporarily removing the skin's outermost barrier to improve medication absorption.
March 2025 in “American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A” In this study, researchers found that mosaic PLCD1 hotspot variants, even without the recognized germline "risk allele," may be a rare but significant genetic cause of nevus trichilemmocysticus, warranting DNA testing and sensitive sequencing technologies for accurate diagnosis.
June 2025 in “Molecular Therapy — Nucleic Acids” In this study, researchers identified a specific DNA aptamer, Ap.OR2AT4.17, that effectively prolonged hair growth and increased hair shaft elongation in organ-cultured human hair follicles by targeting the olfactory receptor OR2AT4. This finding suggests the aptamer's potential as a novel therapy for hair loss disorders.
September 2025 in “Animals” This study identified novel genetic variations in the KRTAP22-2 gene among eight sheep breeds but found no association between these genotypes and wool fibre traits, indicating possible species-specific differences compared to goats.
