research Does dry skin indicate defective epidermal permeability barrier?
Dry skin does not mean the skin's protective barrier is broken; it's often due to a lack of natural skin moisturizers.
research 476 Development of an intrinsic skin sensor for blood glucose level with CRISPR-mediated genome editing in epidermal stem cells
Researchers created a skin graft that senses blood glucose and could treat diabetes using CRISPR-edited stem cells.
research The dark and the bright sides of the transcription factor Nrf2 in skin protection and disease (Nrf2 and epidermal barrier function)
Nrf2 helps protect skin from damage but too much can cause skin problems.
research Molecular Genetics of Inherited Disorders of Epidermal Keratins
Mutations in keratin genes cause skin disorders, but new treatments show promise.
research LB1077 Cutaneous responses to systemic iron: A potential role for epidermal turnover in mammalian iron excretion
Skin may help in getting rid of excess iron through the process of skin cell renewal.
research LB1081 Three-dimensional imaging of tight junction-network across multiple layers of human epidermis by array tomography using backscattered electron-mode scanning electron microscopy
The study found that tight junctions reach the top layer of the skin's stratum granulosum, not just the second top layer as previously thought.
research 078 The transmembrane protein LRIG1 regulates receptor tyrosine kinases in skin development and homeostasis
LRIG1 protein affects hair growth by regulating skin receptors, leading to hair loss when overexpressed.
research Author response: NuMA-microtubule interactions are critical for spindle orientation and the morphogenesis of diverse epidermal structures
NuMA-microtubule interactions are crucial for proper skin structure and hair growth.
research 1272 p21Waf1/Cip1 is differentially expressed in epidermal versus follicular melanocytes and melanoma cells and is phenotypically regulated by UVB-mediated apoptosis
The protein p21 is more abundant in normal skin cells than in melanoma cells and may help protect against melanoma, with UVB light affecting its levels.
research 1418 Characterization of ectomesenchyme as an origin of epidermal stem cells
Ectomesenchyme is a key source of skin stem cells.
research 583 Hair cycle regulation by a mitochondrially localized protein: Is MPZL3 a central component of the elusive hair cycle clock?

Fos protein is crucial for cell transition to cornification in keratinized tissues.
research Activation of Cutaneous Protein Kinase Cα Induces Keratinocyte Apoptosis and Intraepidermal Inflammation by Independent Signaling Pathways
Activating PKCα in skin causes cell death and inflammation through different pathways.
research Efficient In Vivo Targeting of Epidermal Stem Cells by Early Gestational Intraamniotic Injection of Lentiviral Vector Driven by the Keratin 5 Promoter
Injecting lentiviral vectors into early gestation mice effectively targets skin stem cells for potential gene therapy.
research Epidermal Polarity Genes in Health and Disease
Disruptions in epidermal polarity genes can lead to skin diseases.
research Genes for intermediate filament proteins and the draft sequence of the human genome
The study found 65 intermediate filament genes, including new keratins, and suggested updating keratin naming.

Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) help control skin health, hair growth, and color, and could potentially be used to treat skin and hair disorders.
research Keratin K15 as a Biomarker of Epidermal Stem Cells
Keratin 15 is not a reliable sole marker for identifying epidermal stem cells because it's found in various cell types.
research Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) transactivates Dlx3 through Smad1 and Smad4: alternative mode for Dlx3 induction in mouse keratinocytes
BMP-2 activates the Dlx3 gene in mouse skin cells, important for hair and skin development.
research Micropatterned dermal–epidermal regeneration matrices create functional niches that enhance epidermal morphogenesis
