research A new look into an old problem: keratins as tools to investigate determination, morphogenesis, and differentiation in skin.
Keratin expression reflects cell organization and differentiation, not causes it.
research Upregulation of interfollicular epidermal and hair infundibulum β-catenin expression in Gsdma3 mutant mice
Mice with a Gsdma3 gene mutation have thicker skin and longer hair follicle openings due to increased β-catenin levels.
research More than one way to skin . . .
Skin stem cells help repair damage and maintain healthy skin.
research GLI2 Is Expressed in Normal Human Epidermis and BCC and Induces GLI1 Expression by Binding to its Promoter
GLI2 activates GLI1, promoting skin tumor growth and hair development.

The Foxn1 gene mutation causes hairlessness and immune system issues, and understanding it could lead to hair growth disorder treatments.
research BLIMP1 Is Required for Postnatal Epidermal Homeostasis but Does Not Define a Sebaceous Gland Progenitor under Steady-State Conditions
BLIMP1 is essential for skin maintenance but not for defining sebaceous gland progenitors.
research Eph/ephrin signaling in epidermal differentiation and disease
Eph/ephrin signaling is important for skin cell behavior and could be targeted to treat skin diseases.
research β1 Integrins with Individually Disrupted Cytoplasmic NPxY Motifs Are Embryonic Lethal but Partially Active in the Epidermis
Mutations in β1 integrins cause embryonic death but have milder effects on skin.
research Non-invasive human skin transcriptome analysis using mRNA in skin surface lipids
The conclusion is that analyzing RNA from skin oils is a promising way to understand skin diseases.
research In vivo imaging of mammary epithelial cell dynamics in response to lineage-biased Wnt/β-catenin activation
Activating β-catenin in mammary cells leads to changes that cause early-stage abnormal growths similar to skin structures.
research Positive Impact of Fish Oil on Diabetic and Hypercholestrolemic Skin Disorders
Fish oil improves skin health in people with diabetes and high cholesterol.
research Role of the ABCA4 Gene Expression in the Clearance of Toxic Vitamin A Derivatives in Human Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Keratinocytes

Radiation therapy damages skin structure and immune function, causing inflammation and potential hair loss.
research Type XVII collagen suppresses interfollicular epidermal proliferation in neonatal and aged skin, and helps rejuvenate epidermis
Type XVII collagen helps control skin cell growth and rejuvenates skin.
research Genotoxic Agents: An Unexpected Effect on Healthy Epithelia
Chemotherapy drugs can cause abnormal growth and changes in healthy skin and gland cells.
research CtBP1 Overexpression in Keratinocytes Perturbs Skin Homeostasis
Overexpressing CtBP1 in skin cells causes skin and hair problems.
research The role of Glucosylceramides in Keratinocyte Differentiation and Epidermal Barrier Function
