December 2020 in “International journal of molecular sciences” External factors can cause skin cancer cells that usually don't spread to grow and form tumors in mice.
April 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The study investigated the role of the mitochondrial protein CRIF1 in skin homeostasis and hair growth by creating epidermis-specific Crif1 conditional knockout (cKO) mice. The deletion of Crif1 led to impaired mitochondrial function, resulting in the death of the mice within a week. This impairment caused significant inhibition of keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation, as well as disrupted hair follicle morphogenesis due to down-regulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. The findings demonstrated that mitochondrial function in keratinocytes was crucial for maintaining epidermal homeostasis and proper hair follicle development.
