Aims: Sebaceous neoplasms constitute a group of adnexal tumours, including sebaceous adenoma, sebaceoma and sebaceous carcinoma. Although mismatch repair deficiency may be observed, the nature of the genetic alterations contributing to the development of most of these tumours is still unknown. In the present study, we describe the clinical, microscopic, and molecular features of eight sebaceomas with GRHL gene rearrangement.

Follicular hybrid cysts are uncommon entities derived from 2 or more components of the folliculo-sebaceous-apocrine unit. The pathogenesis of follicular hybrid cysts is uncertain; however, they are proposed to derive from the multipotent nature of follicular stem cells. Myotonic dystrophy type 1 is an inherited muscular dystrophy caused by an unstable trinucleotide repeat expansion in the myotonic dystrophy protein kinase gene, notably associated with multiple pilomatricomas.

Background: Checkpoint kinases 1/2 (Chk1/2) have an important role in somatic cell development and oocyte meiotic maturation. However, the role of Chk1/2 in folliculo-genesis has not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of Chk1/2 inhibition on ovarian folliculogenesis and granulosa cell development in mice.

Laminin, a major basement membrane protein, comprises three subunit chains: α, β, and γ chains. Among these chains, only the laminin α chain is capable of signaling via laminin receptors. Although laminin isoforms containing the α5 chain were reported to be the first laminin produced during rat anterior pituitary gland development, the functions of these isoforms are unknown.

Background: The LH-induced folliculo-luteal transformation is connected with alterations of the gene expression profile in cells of the granulosa layer. It has been described that hypoxic conditions occur during luteinization, thus favoring the formation of L-lactate within the follicle. Despite being a product of anaerobic respiration, L-lactate has been shown to act as a signaling molecule affecting gene expression in neuronal cells.
