research p63: a crucial player in epithelial stemness regulation
p63 is essential for controlling epithelial stem cells and tissue health.
research Progeny of Lgr5-expressing hair follicle stem cell contributes to papillomavirus-induced tumor development in epidermis
research Data from Spontaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Induced by the Somatic Inactivation of Retinoblastoma and Trp53 Tumor Suppressors
Loss of the p53 gene alone causes tumors, and losing both p53 and Rb genes speeds up aggressive skin cancer.
research Development of a new therapeutic approach based on peptide nanoparticles delivering CRISPR-Cas9 for the specific targeting of KRAS mutations
Peptide nanoparticles can effectively deliver CRISPR-Cas9 to target KRAS mutations in cancer.
research Homozygous K5Cre transgenic mice have wavy hair and accelerated malignant progression in a murine model of skin carcinogenesis
Homozygous K5Cre transgenic mice have wavy hair and faster cancer progression.
research Matriptase/MT-SP1 is required for postnatal survival, epidermal barrier function, hair follicle development, and thymic homeostasis
research Overexpression of insulin-like growth factor-1 induces hyperplasia, dermal abnormalities, and spontaneous tumor formation in transgenic mice
Overexpressing IGF-1 in mice leads to skin abnormalities and tumors.
research Deregulated expression of E2F1 induces hyperplasia and cooperates with ras in skin tumor development
Overexpression of E2F1 can lead to skin tumors and disrupt hair growth.

research Morphologic and molecular characterization of two novel Krt71 (Krt2-6g) mutations: Krt71 rco12 and Krt71 rco13
research Inducible cre-mediated N-ras activation and PTEN inactivation in transgenic mouse melanocytes requires keratinocyte hyperplasia to elicit a melanocyte pathology
Melanocyte pathology requires keratinocyte hyperplasia and regulation dysfunction.
research Hair keratin KRT81 is expressed in normal and breast cancer cells and contributes to their invasiveness
The hair keratin gene KRT81 is found in both normal and breast cancer cells and helps them invade surrounding tissues.
research Case report: Novel p.Val306Met missense mutation in TRPV3 in a case of Olmsted syndrome accompanied by squamous cell carcinoma
A new gene mutation linked to Olmsted syndrome may increase cancer risk, suggesting the need for ongoing patient monitoring.
research KRT17 promotes endometrial cancer cell migration as well as angiogenesis by regulating HIF-1α/VEGF pathway
KRT17 may be a new target for endometrial cancer treatment because it helps cancer cells move and form new blood vessels.
research A keratin 15 containing stem cell population from the hair follicle contributes to squamous papilloma development in the mouse
Keratin 15 cells from hair follicles help develop and maintain skin tumors in mice.
research KRT16 wt Allele
Mutations in the KRT16 gene can cause skin and nail disorders.
research Reply to: The ends of a conundrum?
K10 may not prevent tumors as previously thought and might increase benign tumor risk.
research Clinical Management of Prostate Cancer in High-Risk Genetic Mutation Carriers
More research and guidelines are needed for managing prostate cancer in people with high-risk genetic mutations.
research The relationship between keratin 18 and epithelial-derived tumors: as a diagnostic marker, prognostic marker, and its role in tumorigenesis
Keratin 18 helps diagnose and predict cancer progression and affects cancer growth and spread.
research Protein kinase Cepsilon is linked to 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-induced tumor necrosis factor-alpha ectodomain shedding and the development of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma in protein kinase Cepsilon transgenic mice.
Overexpression of PKCepsilon leads to increased TNFalpha, promoting metastatic squamous cell carcinoma in mice.
research Germline Mutation in ATR in Autosomal- Dominant Oropharyngeal Cancer Syndrome
A specific ATR gene mutation is linked to a hereditary oropharyngeal cancer syndrome.
