PRIDE syndrome includes skin and hair issues from cancer treatment with EGFR inhibitors.
research Development of Heritable Melanoma in Transgenic Mice
The transgene likely activated an oncogene or interrupted a tumor suppressor gene, causing melanoma in mice.
research SOX9 as a key regulator of tissue remodelling and epithelial cell fate transitions.
SOX9 is crucial for cell development and repair but can cause fibrosis and cancer if misregulated.
research Emerging roles of Sox6 in the renal and cardiovascular system
Sox6 is important in heart and kidney health, affecting diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.
research Treatment of Cultured Sebocytes with an EGFR Inhibitor Does Not Lead to Significant Upregulation of Inflammatory Biomarkers
Blocking EGFR in skin cells doesn't majorly increase inflammation markers.
research Interleukin-6 Null Mice Paradoxically Display Increased STAT3 Activity and Wound-Induced Hair Neogenesis
Mice without the IL-6 gene had more hair growth after injury due to higher activity of a related protein, Stat3.
research Identification and characterization of the hamster polyomavirus middle T antigen
The hamster polyomavirus middle T antigen is linked to tumors in hamsters and associates with a specific tyrosine kinase.
