research Odontogenic Keratocysts Arise from Quiescent Epithelial Rests and Are Associated with Deregulated Hedgehog Signaling in Mice and Humans
Odontogenic keratocysts are caused by abnormal Hedgehog signaling and can lead to tooth and bone issues.
research Activated Kras Alters Epidermal Homeostasis of Mouse Skin, Resulting in Redundant Skin and Defective Hair Cycling
Activating Kras in mouse skin causes excess skin and hair loss.
research Epidermal Deletion of Rac1 Causes Stem Cell Depletion, Irrespective of whether Deletion Occurs during Embryogenesis or Adulthood
Deleting Rac1 in the skin depletes stem cells and damages hair follicles.
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 Nrf2-Mediated Expansion of Pilosebaceous Cells Accelerates Cutaneous Wound Healing
Activating Nrf2 in skin cells speeds up wound healing by increasing the growth of certain stem cells.
research EGFR Controls Hair Shaft Differentiation in a p53-Independent Manner
EGFR helps control how hair grows and forms without needing p53 protein.
research Keratins: Dynamic, flexible structural proteins of epithelial cells
Keratin proteins in epithelial cells are dynamic and crucial for cell processes and disease understanding.
research Dicer- and Bulge Stem Cell-Dependent MicroRNAs During Induced Anagen Hair Follicle Development
MicroRNAs are important for hair growth regulation, with Dicer being crucial and Tarbp2 less significant.
