March 2023 in “International journal of molecular sciences” This review discusses the patterns and regulatory mechanisms of keratin expression in various biological conditions and reports no new experimental results.
February 2024 in “Epigenomes” This review discusses recent insights into the dynamics and regulation of the epidermal differentiation complex during keratinocyte differentiation and reports no new experimental results.

March 2025 in “Science Advances” This study found that the unique crest feather formation in Polish chickens is driven by a 195-bp duplication in the HoxC10 gene region, which alters gene expression by modifying the genomic structure, suggesting a mechanism for diverse integumentary appendages in birds.
April 2021 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” 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.
