March 2021 in “Experimental dermatology” This review discusses recent progress in understanding the cellular mechanisms of sebaceous gland development and maintenance, emphasizing the role of stem and progenitor cells in related skin pathologies, and reports no new results.
February 2026 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” In this study, Lrig1-positive stem cells in mouse hair follicles were found to be essential for sebaceous gland formation and maintenance, with their depletion causing a temporary loss of these glands and changes in cellular differentiation.

September 2014 in “Stem cell reports” In this study, BLIMP1 was found to function in terminally differentiated epidermal cells to maintain homeostasis, rather than defining a sebocyte progenitor population.

February 2013 in “Cell reports” This study demonstrates that c-MYC overexpression in sebaceous glands affects differentiation via a regulatory axis involving the androgen receptor and p53, influencing carcinoma formation outcomes.

January 2026 This study reveals that the microRNA-200 family, highly enriched in hair matrix progenitors, restricts sebaceous gland development by inhibiting the SOX9-dependent lipogenic program, highlighting its specific role in epithelial plasticity within hair follicles.
