This study identified a new mutation in SELH/Bc mice causing distinctive whisker and body hair abnormalities, mapped near the type I keratin cluster on chromosome 11.

Mutations in β1 integrins cause embryonic death but have milder effects on skin.

This study suggests that Merkel cell polyomavirus T antigen-positive cells resembling Merkel cell carcinoma may originate from epithelial cells in human hair follicles, potentially informing future transgenic mouse models for this cancer.

This study demonstrates that mice with ectopic expression of the human GLI-1 gene in their skin developed tumors resembling human basal cell carcinoma, suggesting that GLI-1 is central to tumor development without additional p53 or Ha ras mutations.

This study found that P311 triggers transdifferentiation of epidermal stem cells into myofibroblast-like cells via TGFβ1/Smad signaling during wound healing.

This study in mice suggests that defects in hair follicles with mesenchymal TSC2 disruption may result from an impaired TGFβ1 response, indicating a potential novel treatment approach for tuberous sclerosis complex.

In this study, Sox13 was identified as a novel marker for early hair follicle development and differentiation in mice, though it appears to be dispensable for overall epidermal and adnexal development.

This study found that YAP1 localization and expression patterns in human skin xenografts resembled pathological conditions, suggesting that YAP1 may be a potential target for treating skin pathologies.

This study found that overexpressing the 14-3-3σ protein in transgenic mice reduced keratinocyte proliferation and migration, leading to thinner epidermis and fewer hair follicles due to IGF-1 pathway inhibition.

This study found that certain lncRNA gene polymorphisms in HOTAIR and MALAT1 are associated with increased susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus, potentially informing clinical applications.

This study found that Caspase-1, traditionally viewed as an inflammasome component, is secreted upon wounding and plays a novel role by triggering hair follicle stem cell migration into the epidermis, offering insights into epithelial hyperplasia mechanisms in inflammatory skin conditions.

Blocking DPP4 can help prevent fat loss and skin fibrosis.

This study found that Runx1 in hair follicle stem cells modulates lipid metabolism, impacting membrane organization and enhancing signal transduction for cell proliferation in both normal and cancer epithelial cells.

This study found that Hedgehog-driven skin tumorigenesis is dependent on the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway and suggests that targeting Wnt ligands could be a potential therapeutic strategy.

This study found that Prdm1 is crucial for whisker development in mice, affecting multiple signaling pathways and possibly playing a role in primates' evolutionary loss of vibrissae.

This study suggests that LONRF1 may play a vital role in linking oxidative damage responses and tissue remodeling during wound healing, with distinct mechanisms in senescent and non-senescent cells.

This study suggests that a position effect disrupting TRPS1 expression may be linked to hypertrichosis in both Ambras syndrome in humans and a similar phenotype in Koa mice.

This study found that CTCF is crucial for proper skin and hair follicle development in mice, affecting keratinocyte differentiation and gene expression in keratin loci.

This study identifies a mechanism where dsRNA activates TLR3 to induce RA production, promoting hair follicle regeneration in mice and suggesting a potential role in human tissue regeneration.

This study demonstrated that Wnt5a can serve as an orienting signal for mouse skin's planar cell polarity but its overexpression disrupts hair follicle orientation, which can be rescued by modifying Fzd6 levels.

This study examined the effects of WNT10B on dermal papilla cells in vitro, finding that it alters gene expression, decreases protein synthesis, and upregulates a specific signaling pathway, potentially influencing hair follicle morphogenesis.

This study found that MED1 deficiency in keratinocytes accelerates skin wound healing in young mice but delays healing in older mice, suggesting differential roles in epidermal regeneration with age.

This study found that transgenic mice overexpressing human ATF3 showed hyperplastic and dysplastic changes in epithelial tissues, with a high incidence of oral cancer, suggesting potential oncogenic properties of ATF3.

This study successfully developed and characterized a monospecific monoclonal antibody, LHTric-1, that specifically localizes to the pre-cortical region of the hair follicle and can aid research on hair and nail formation.

This study found that the Wnt10b gene promotes, while the SFRP2 gene inhibits, hair growth in Wanxi Angora rabbits, influencing the hair growth cycle and follicle regeneration.

Deleting Crif1 in mouse skin disrupts skin balance and hair growth.

This study found that skin wound healing was accelerated in young but delayed in older Med1(epi-/-) mice compared to wild-type mice, suggesting age-dependent roles of MED1 in epidermal regeneration.

This case report documents the first known instance of FOXN1 duplication linked to congenital hypertrichosis.

The researchers reported two brothers with a new variant of X-linked trichothiodystrophy associated with an RNF113A gene mutation, highlighting features such as intellectual disability and growth failure, but without previously reported endocrinological or genital abnormalities, underlining the importance of genetic counseling for such variants.
