... epidermis displays a highly ordered parallel stripe pattern as part of its subcellular structure, making it an ideal model to study the formation and reorganization of periodic patterns within cells. Here, we show that the initial formation of periodic striped patterns in the C. elegans epidermis...

... functions in the epidermis to instruct skin integrity. Significantly, we show that expression of a mouse RAB6A cDNA can rescue defects in C. elegans epidermis caused by lack of RAB-6.2, suggesting functional conservation across phyla. We also show that the novel function of RAB-6.2 in C. elegans cuticle...

Comparison of normal skin with keloid scar tissue further revealed an upregulation of EGF signaling within the epidermis...

... that the JAK/STAT pathway suppressed cell fusion during wound healing in the Drosophila larval epidermis, restricting cell fusion to the vicinity of the wound. In the absence of JAK/STAT signaling, a large syncytium containing a 3-fold higher number of nuclei than observed in wild-type tissue formed in wounded...

... lipidation in human keratinocytes. Conversely, iASPP depletion significantly increases the amount of Atg5–Atg12 that is able to interact with Atg16L1, providing at least one possible link with the autophagy maturation process. This is supported by the fact that, in human epidermis, cytoplasmic iASPP partly...

Mutant mice were born with severe defects in formation of the stratum corneum and died within 12 h after birth due to dehydration caused by loss of skin barrier function. Mutant...
