In this study, researchers found that YAP and TAZ, when localized in the nucleus of basal layer cells, are crucial for skin regeneration and hair growth, with their loss leading to slower cell proliferation, hair loss, and impaired wound healing in mice.

Caspase-3 helps control cell growth and organ size by activating YAP.

This study demonstrates that YAP and TAZ are essential for initiating basal and squamous cell carcinomas in mice, and suggests targeting these pathways could be beneficial for treating skin cancers.

Targeting THY1 can improve skin repair and healing.

This review summarizes existing evidence on how YAP and TAZ proteins are activated in epidermal keratinocytes and their role in coordinating with other signaling molecules to control transcription and influence epidermal cell fate, highlighting their importance beyond the Hippo pathway.

In this study, researchers observed that quiescent mouse embryonic fibroblasts showed reduced glycolysis but increased TCA cycle flux and mitochondrial respiration, with these changes linked to metabolic reprogramming involving yes-associated protein inhibition and malate cycle modulation, which supports extracellular matrix protein synthesis.

This review discusses the role of YAP/TAZ proteins in skin cancer physiology and tumorigenesis, and the potential of targeting these proteins in skin cancer treatments, but presents no new experimental findings.

In this study, overexpression of YAP1 was found to promote adipogenic differentiation of goat adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells by up-regulating LATS2 expression and activating the Hippo pathway's negative feedback loop.

This study found that culturing fibroblasts on stiffer substrates mimicking fibrotic wounds led to an aligned EDA fibronectin matrix with thinner fibers and decreased YAP activity, suggesting disrupted signaling that might be restored to promote regenerative wound repair.

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 using a mouse model reports that CuATSM treatment accelerates skin wound healing and reduces scar formation, with effects possibly mediated via the ferroptosis-induced Hippo/YAP signaling pathway and macrophage polarization, suggesting CuATSM as a potential therapy for scarless wound healing in clinical settings.

This review discusses recent findings on molecular changes in cutaneous adnexal tumours and reports novel markers and pathways involved, highlighting the diverse oncogenic drivers and tumour suppressor alterations.

This study found that (-)-blebbistatin significantly inhibited liver fibrosis in mouse models by reducing tissue stiffness and myofibroblast activation, indicating potential for developing broad-spectrum antifibrotic drugs.

Blocking cell death in certain stem cells can improve wound healing and tissue regeneration.

This review explores the molecular processes behind hair follicle stem cell activation and suggests new potential targets for designing therapies for various types of alopecia, but it reports no clinical results.

In this study, XMU-MP-1 unexpectedly reduced cell proliferation and altered cell cycle progression in a model human hair follicle, possibly due to off-target kinase inhibition.

In this study, researchers found that inhibiting YAP signaling in skin wounds leads to regenerative repair with active Trps1 and Wnt signaling, contrasting the typical fibrotic scarring process.

This study found that knocking out vinculin in mouse skin disrupts bulge stem cell quiescence by impairing force generation and mechanical stability of adherens junctions.

This study designed fibronectin nanogel microneedles, reporting their potential to enhance tissue repair by improving collagen organization, reducing inflammation, and promoting angiogenesis in both photoaged and diabetic wound models.

This study demonstrated how cellular flows and tissue mechanics guide the topological transformations in avian skin, essential for feather follicle development from scales.

This review reports that transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms in epithelial stem cells guide their fate in the epidermis and hair follicles, crucial for skin homeostasis, but disruptions can lead to disease.

This review summarizes research on scar formation and inhibition mechanisms, discussing emerging therapies like gene therapy and stem cell treatments, but notes ongoing challenges for clinical application, including treatment personalization and outcome sustainability.

This study revealed that during avian skin development, complex tissue architecture results from specific cellular flows and mechanical processes that guide feather bud protrusion and elongation, with distinct differences noted in scale development, where rigidity restricts such transformations.

This study found that TAZ promotes adipogenesis in goat adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells by enhancing PI3K/AKT pathway activity, with overexpression boosting adipocyte formation and knockdown inhibiting it.

This study found that HPV8-induced actinic keratoses may mechanistically involve Lrig1+ hair follicle keratinocyte stem cells, with the E6 gene promoting downstream STAT3 activity in a mouse model.

In this study, researchers engineered ventral skin organoids (vSkOs) with specific cellular compositions and signaling environments to generate human amnion-like tissues called Amnioids, offering new tools for studying human development and potential regenerative therapies.

This study synthesizes knowledge of how dendritic cell signals, epithelial integrins, and fibroblast activity converge on TGF-β1 to maintain or disrupt skin healing, contrasting normal and fibrotic scar formation and suggesting possible integrin and immune-targeted treatments for skin fibrosis.

This research found that deleting the SLC3A2 gene in hair follicle stem cells disrupts their maintenance and proper differentiation, leading to hair follicle growth defects and altered skin regeneration through a YAP/Taz-dependent pathway.

Fibronectin is essential for hair follicle regeneration and may help rejuvenate aged skin.
