Lhx2 is essential for effective Sonic Hedgehog signaling in early retinal development.
research Direct cellular reprogramming enables development of viral T antigen–driven Merkel cell carcinoma in mice
Scientists made a mouse model of a serious skin cancer by changing skin cells with a virus and a specific gene, which is similar to the disease in humans.
research Transcriptome analysis reveals the genetic basis underlying the development of skin appendages and immunity in hedgehog (Atelerix albiventris)
The study found that certain genes are important for hedgehog skin appendage development and immunity, with spines possibly evolving for protection and infection resistance.
research Characterization and Localization of Side Population Cells in Mouse Skin
Mouse skin has special cells in the epidermis that decrease with age and are linked to keratinocyte stem cells.
research Evaluation of the Expression of Genes Associated with Inflammation and Apoptosis in Androgenetic Alopecia by Targeted RNA-Seq
WNT7A gene expression is higher in early stages of androgenetic alopecia, showing the role of WNT pathway, apoptosis, and inflammation in the disorder.
research Transcriptional profiling of putative human epithelial stem cells
Alpha 6 + /MHCI - cells have stem cell traits and are similar to mouse hair follicle stem cells.
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 Abstract 3372: Mouse keratinocyte side-population plays an important role during malignant progression to skin squamous cell carcinomas
Mouse skin cancer progression involves a unique group of cells marked by ABCG2 and MTS24.
research Network analysis reveals potential mechanisms that determine the cellular identity of keratinocytes and corneal epithelial cells through the Hox/Gtl2-Dio3 miRNA axis
Hox proteins help maintain keratinocyte identity by regulating miRNA expression.

iPSC lines from different tissues share a common miRNA profile, supporting their pluripotent nature.
research Spatial Gene Profiling in the Ischemic Heart
A new technology showed that the SOX9 gene might control heart scar formation after injury, suggesting new treatment possibilities.
research EctopicAtoh1expression drives Merkel cell production in embryonic, postnatal and adult epidermis
Atoh1 expression can create new Merkel cells in the skin.
research sm“FISH”ing for Hedgehog
Hedgehog signaling controls hair follicle development and can affect skin cancer growth.
