Patient had scalp allergy from minoxidil; test helped identify cause and suggest alternative treatments.
research Proline-rich protein-like PRPL1 controls elongation of root hairs in Arabidopsis thaliana
A gene in Arabidopsis thaliana, AtPRPL1, affects root hair length but not cell wall composition.
research CC-type glutaredoxins mediate plant response and signaling under nitrate starvation in Arabidopsis
ROXY proteins help plants respond to nitrate shortage by affecting nutrient sensing and growth.
research Wnt10b Promotes Differentiation of Mouse Hair Follicle Melanocytes
Wnt10b helps hair follicle cells mature and produce pigment.
research Genetic Fate Mapping Using Site-Specific Recombinases
The document concludes that careful design of genetic fate mapping experiments is crucial for accurate cell lineage tracing in mice.
