TL;DR: The main advances that have recently been achieved in TGM3 analyses in skin and hair follicle biology are summarized and the functional role of TGM2 in human tumor pathology as well as the reliability of its prognostic clinical usage as a cancer diagnosis biomarker are summarized.

TL;DR: This study presents a primarily qualitative analysis of contacts of non-homologous chromosomes by short arms, during meiotic prophase I in the mole vole, Ellobius alaicus, a species with a variable karyotype, due to Robertsonian translocations, and proposes to change the translocation mechanism model to ‘contact first in meiosis’.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the formation of the gas exchange units of the lung as a multifactorial process, which includes changes in the actomyosin cytoskeleton of alveocytes and myofibroblasts, elastogenesis, retinoic acid signaling, and the contribution of lung mesenchymal cells in secondary septation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new stable line of human keratinocytes was obtained, which have altered morphology, both abnormal chromosomal composition and expression of keratinocyte markers, do not show contact inhibition, could be cultured in various media and have limited stratification ability in vitro.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed expansible cultures of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) fibroblasts and keratinocytes using ectopic expression of hTERT/hTERT + BMI-1 in primary cells.
