October 2025 in “Advanced Materials” In this study, researchers developed ionizable coenzyme Q10-engineered lipid/fiber microplexes that restored mitochondrial-ribosomal function and enhanced mRNA translation in senescent cells, leading to increased hair follicle density and bone formation in mouse models compared to conventional lipid nanoparticles.
September 2025 in “Science Advances” This study reports that PADI4, an enzyme involved in posttranslational protein modifications, regulates progenitor cell transitions in hair follicle development by repressing transcription and interacting with translational and ribosomal processes.

December 2011 in “Journal of biological chemistry/The Journal of biological chemistry” This study found that serine 44 in the N-terminal head domain of keratin 17 is phosphorylated in response to various stimuli affecting skin keratinocyte growth, linking K17 up-regulation with growth and stress responses in skin epithelium.
May 2026 in “Science Advances” This research observed that translation initiation shifts from cap-dependent to IRES-mediated pathways varied across tissues and cell types under stress and differentiation conditions in mice, with low IRES/Cap ratios signaling high stemness and potential multipotency, mediated by the RNA processing protein PTBP1.
