This study found that the Arabidopsis thaliana protein Formin 2 localizes to plasmodesmata and is crucial for regulating their permeability by anchoring actin filaments, which affects virus susceptibility.

This study suggests that Lrig1-positive cells form a previously unknown reservoir of interfollicular epidermal stem cells in adult mouse skin, influencing epidermal proliferation and hair follicle development.

Sox13 is a new marker for early hair follicle development and differentiation.

This study identified mutations in the STUB1 gene linked to hereditary cerebellar ataxia with cognitive impairment, revealing potential effects on protein function and patient symptoms, including accelerated aging.

This study found that Thy1+ keratinocytes in the basal layer of the interfollicular epidermis play a crucial role in epidermal homeostasis and wound repair, with their ablation impairing these processes.

This study found that activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in mouse testes promotes spermatogonial differentiation and reduces the stem cell pool, with SHISA6 inhibiting this process and maintaining stem cell characteristics.

This review discusses the diverse roles of the TRPS1 gene in regulating cartilage, kidney, and hair follicle development, highlighting its functions and interactions, but provides no new experimental results.

Krox20 is crucial for hair growth and maintaining skin stem cells.

In this study, researchers developed a novel genetic tool using Wif1-CreER knock-in mice for precise labeling and manipulation of dermal papilla cells, which could enhance understanding of hair biology and aid in developing targeted therapies for hair-related disorders.

Rat hair follicle stem cells have functional oxytocin receptors, useful for studying neuropsychiatric disorders.

The study demonstrated that both DKK2 and SOSTDC1 are necessary for normal timing of the first catagen phase in mice hair growth cycles.

In this study, TC-1 cells, resembling stromal cells formed by epithelial-mesenchymal transition, significantly affected the behavior of normal human keratinocytes, supporting the role of stromal cells in tumor progression.

This study found that knocking down SFRP2 in an AGA model improved hair regeneration and reduced cellular dysfunction, suggesting that targeting the SFRP2-FSTL1 axis could be a promising therapeutic strategy for androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, researchers developed a new photoactivatable Cre recombinase mouse model, DiLiCre, which allows precise light-induced genetic modifications and cell tracing, demonstrating its effectiveness for advancing biological and biomedical research.

This study indicates that reduced activity of the matriptase-prostasin proteolytic cascade is likely the cause of human autosomal recessive ichthyosis with hypotrichosis, as demonstrated using a novel mouse model.

This study found that the Lim-homeodomain transcription factor Lhx2 regulates Sonic Hedgehog signaling during early retinal neurogenesis in mice by controlling the expression of pathway genes in retinal progenitor cells.

This study found that mitochondrial dysfunction due to Crif1 deficiency in hair follicle stem cells significantly slows the hair growth cycle in adult mice but does not impact the maintenance of HFSC populations.

This study found that over- and ectopic-expression of FoxN1 in early life negatively affected the development of thymic epithelial cells, T and B cells, and skin epithelial cells.

Mouse Scube3 affects teeth, tongue, vibrissae, and eye development, but not facial structure or limb growth.

This study found that PlncRNA‑1 may enhance the proliferation and differentiation of hair follicle stem cells by upregulating the TGF‑β1-mediated Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

CD200 is not a reliable marker for identifying stem cells in all skin types.

This research reexamined transcriptomic data to study stem and progenitor cell proliferation in psoriasis, finding that the number of committed progenitor cells increased eight-fold in psoriatic skin without altering stem cell numbers, potentially identifying new therapeutic targets.

This study demonstrates a sample preparation method for wool follicles that allows for clear keratin labeling and ultrastructural preservation in microscopy, reducing common artefacts from conventional fixation techniques.

This study found that activating CB1 receptor signaling in human hair follicles increased stem cell proliferation while reducing differentiated cell survival, suggesting CB1's role as a survival stimulus for epithelial stem cells.

This study found that Brg1, a chromatin-remodeling enzyme, plays a critical role in hair regeneration and early epidermal repair by regulating bulge stem cells through a Brg1-Shh interaction.

Using a transgenic pig model, this study demonstrated that LGR5 is a marker of hair follicle stem cells across different species, with important similarities and differences in gene expression and developmental processes.

This study found that Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 is crucial for maintaining stem cell identity across different lineages, but its loss results in varied transcriptional outcomes depending on the tissue context.
