Sci Adv . 2021 Apr; 7(14). PMID: 33811065
Humans and mice with natural red hair have elevated basal pain thresholds and an increased sensitivity to opioid analgesics. We investigated the mechanisms responsible for higher nociceptive thresholds in red-haired...

Fell G, Robinson K, Mao J, Woolf C, Fisher D
Cell . 2014 Jun; 157(7):1527-34. PMID: 24949966
UV light is an established carcinogen, yet evidence suggests that UV-seeking behavior has addictive features. Following UV exposure, epidermal keratinocytes synthesize proopiomelanocortin (POMC) that is processed to melanocyte-stimulating hormone, inducing...

JAMA Intern Med . 2014 Apr; 174(6):964-70. PMID: 24710960
Importance: The RAS/RAF/mitogen-activated protein kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) kinase/ERK cascade plays a crucial role in melanoma cell proliferation and survival. Sildenafil citrate (Viagra) is a phosphodiesterase (PDE) 5A...

Praetorius C, Grill C, Stacey S, Metcalf A, Gorkin D, Robinson K, et al.
Cell . 2013 Nov; 155(5):1022-33. PMID: 24267888
Sequence polymorphisms linked to human diseases and phenotypes in genome-wide association studies often affect noncoding regions. A SNP within an intron of the gene encoding Interferon Regulatory Factor 4 (IRF4),...

Cell . 2010 Jun; 141(6):994-1005. PMID: 20550935
DICER is a central regulator of microRNA maturation. However, little is known about mechanisms regulating its expression in development or disease. While profiling miRNA expression in differentiating melanocytes, two populations...

Robinson K, Fisher D
Semin Cell Dev Biol . 2009 Jan; 20(1):111-6. PMID: 19124082
The melanocyte stem cells of the hair follicle provide an attractive system for the study of stem cells. The stem cells exist in an anatomically defined niche clearly separated from...
