This study found that in a mouse model of psoriasis, depleting CD169⁺ macrophages led to milder symptoms and decreased inflammation, suggesting these macrophages play a crucial role in psoriasis development.

This study suggests that inhibiting PKC, similar to rapamycin treatment, can extend lifespan and reduce neurological symptoms and inflammation in mice with mitochondrial dysfunction, potentially involving the mTORC2 pathway.

In this study, crossing mice overexpressing antizyme with MEK mutants significantly delayed tumor development and reduced tumor frequency, likely by slowing cell growth in skin tumors.

This study found that PBX1 overexpression reduces hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cell senescence and apoptosis by interacting with SIRT1 and PARP1, highlighting a potential mechanism for addressing aging-related diseases.

In this study, researchers at Johns Hopkins University found that Keratin 17 plays a signaling role in cell growth during a wound response by aiding mTOR pathway activation, beyond its structural functions.

This study suggests that hair loss disorders like Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis may result from mutations that disrupt post-transcriptional regulation of HR protein expression by PCPB2 interacting with Hr mRNA.

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.

This study found that deleting the Mof gene in mouse skin leads to severe defects in skin cell self-renewal, differentiation, and hair follicle growth, indicating that MOF is crucial for mitochondrial and ciliary gene expression and essential for skin development.

This study found that a novel IKZF1 mutation, p.L188V, is linked to juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus and alters B-cell activation by disrupting normal DNA binding.

This study found that hepatic KRT79 expression is regulated by PPARA and is significantly associated with liver stress, suggesting it may serve as a diagnostic marker for liver diseases.

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 review highlights the potential of PROTAC technology in drug discovery for previously undruggable targets, particularly in cancer therapy, while emphasizing the urgent need to discover more E3 ligase recruiters to optimize targeted protein degradation.

In this study, researchers discovered that the HrasG12V oncogenic mutation in murine skin epithelial cells initially promotes progenitor cell renewal but later leads to a balanced differentiation, stabilizing clone growth.

In a mouse model of chemotherapy-induced alopecia, this study found that enhancing ETV2 expression improved angiogenesis and hair regrowth following 5-fluorouracil treatment.

This study found that mirex and TPA promote papilloma formation in CD-1 mouse skin through distinct populations of mutant Ha-ras cells, resulting in additive tumor yields.

This study reported that UVR induced PKCε phosphorylation of Stat3 in transgenic mice, suggesting a role in enhancing sensitivity to UVR-related skin cancer development.

This study found that TPA was significantly more effective than mezerein in inducing dark basal keratinocytes in mouse skin, which may be important in early tumor promotion stages.

This study shows that ZIP7 is a functional zinc transporter in mammalian cells, facilitating the movement of zinc from the Golgi apparatus to the cytoplasm.

This review highlights the potential of PROTACs to transform cancer treatment by selectively degrading oncogenic proteins, overcoming drug resistance, and reducing toxicity; it also discusses challenges in optimizing these therapies for personalized applications.

This study found that the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2, particularly its component Ezh2, is crucial in regulating dermal fibroblast differentiation and epidermal keratinocyte proliferation during murine skin development.

This study found that in squamous cell carcinomas, the inhibition of the tumor-suppressor function of TAp73β by ΔNp63α occurs through promoter squelching, not direct protein interaction.

This study found that dihydrotestosterone (DHT) regulates the degradation of p27 in MCF-7 breast cancer and OVCAR-3 ovarian cancer cells, involving SKP2 as a key factor.

In this study, researchers found that specific mutations in iRhom2 in mice lead to skin and hair abnormalities which depend on the presence of the protein ADAM17, suggesting a complex role for iRhom2 in tissue development and potential implications for treating tylosis with oesophageal cancer.

This study identified a missense mutation in the keratin 71 gene as the cause of autosomal dominant woolly hair/hypotrichosis in a Japanese family, marking the first human mutation in KRT71 linked to a hair disorder.

This study suggests that a newly identified KRT 71 gene variant may be responsible for curly hair in Curly Coated Retrievers and potentially contributes to follicular dysplasia.

This review reports that KRT80 is overexpressed in various cancers, enhancing cancer cell proliferation, invasiveness, and migration, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target, though more clinical studies are needed to fully understand its role in cancer prognosis.

This study observed high expression of mTOR pathway effectors in fibrous papules and TSC-associated angiofibromas, suggesting that topical rapamycin might be an effective treatment for fibrous papules.

This study found that HIF1 and mTORC1 signalling were active in both basal cell carcinoma and trichoepithelioma, but the pathways do not reliably differentiate between the two.

This study demonstrated immunological cross-reactivity between mycobacterial heat-shock protein 65 and human epidermal cytokeratin 1/2, suggesting that this cross-reactive epitope might play a role in skin diseases.

This study found that TPA induces apoptosis in pig renal epithelial cells by affecting cell cycle proteins, and activated ras can prevent this process.
