research Gene Variant in Amish a Clue to Better Aging
A genetic mutation linked to longer life and less disease was found in the Amish, and a drug is being developed to replicate these benefits.
research Evidence for a polygenic contribution to androgenetic alopecia
Hair loss risk is influenced by multiple genes.
research New insights into human hair: SAXS, SEM, TEM and EDX for Alopecia Areata investigations
Alopecia Areata causes significant structural and compositional changes in hair.
research Distinctive age distribution and hair loss pattern putatively highlighting uniqueness of Japanese cases of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution
Japanese cases of fibrosing alopecia show a unique age and hair loss pattern, possibly due to racial differences.
research Hormonal Induction of Feather Pigmentation in Ptarmigan
Hormones can change ptarmigan feather color from white to pigmented.
research Molecular basis of congenital atrichia in humans and mice.
Understanding genes and mutations can lead to new treatments for hair loss disorders.
research Mirror-image alopecia areata in mirror-image twins
Mirror-image twins can have alopecia areata on opposite sides of their heads.
research Structural Stability of Wild Type and Mutated α-Keratin Fragments: Molecular Dynamics and Free Energy Calculations
The Glu413Lys mutation in keratin affects hair stability, while Glu413Asp does not.
research Integral characterization of normal and alopecic hair at different degeneration stages by in-situ visible and chemical imaging
Alopecic hair has more irregular structures and chemical changes than normal hair, reducing its strength.
research Cytokine profiling of alopecia areata phenotypic subsets
Higher levels of IL-1a and IL-1RA were found in severe alopecia areata cases.
research Spatial transcriptomics reveals asymmetric cellular responses to injury in the regenerating spiny mouse (Acomys) ear
The spiny mouse regenerates ear tissue asymmetrically, with gene expression differences possibly explaining its unique healing abilities.
research Diphencyprone and topical tacrolimus as two topical immunotherapeutic modalities. Are they effective in the treatment of alopecia areata among Egyptian patients? A study using CD4, CD8 and MHC II as markers
Diphencyprone is effective for treating patchy hair loss in alopecia areata, but tacrolimus is not.
research 496 Identification of differentially expressed miRNAs in alopecia areata that target immune-regulatory pathways
Researchers found that certain miRNAs, which affect immune system regulation, are differently expressed in mice with a hair loss condition compared to healthy mice.
research A novel homozygous variant in the dsp gene underlies the first case of non-syndromic form of alopecia
A new gene variant in the DSP gene is linked to a unique type of hair loss.
research Different Symbiotic Species of Armillaria Affect the Yield and Active Compound Contents of Polyporus umbellatus
Using Armillaria strain A541 boosts Polyporus umbellatus yield and polysaccharide content.
research Isolation and Characterization of Mouse High-glycine/Tyrosine Proteins
Mouse high-glycine/tyrosine proteins have distinct patterns in hair follicles, peaking at specific hair cycle days.
research This Month in the Journal
The AR gene is linked to male-pattern baldness, TNFSF4 to heart disease, SLC19A3 to BBGD, MCT8 to a syndrome, and segmental duplications to genetic variation.
research Immunolocalization of a Histidine-Rich Epidermal Differentiation Protein in the Chicken Supports the Hypothesis of an Evolutionary Developmental Link between the Embryonic Subperiderm and Feather Barbs and Barbules
A specific protein in chicken embryos links early skin layers to feather development.
research Joint study of the associations of HLA‐B and the transmembrane short tandem repeat polymorphism of MICA protein with alopecia areata shows independent associations of both with the disease
Both HLA-B and MICA are independently linked to alopecia areata.
research A comparative study of linear and nonlinear ANNs as classifiers of animal hair fibers
Nonlinear artificial neural networks are better at identifying different types of animal hair than linear ones.
research The RpoS Gatekeeper in Borrelia burgdorferi: An Invariant Regulatory Scheme That Promotes Spirochete Persistence in Reservoir Hosts and Niche Diversity
RpoS helps Borrelia burgdorferi survive in hosts and adapt to different environments.
research Integument pattern formation involves genetic and epigenetic controls: feather arrays simulated by digital hormone models.
Feather patterns form through genetic and epigenetic controls, with cells self-organizing into periodic patterns.
research ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
Minoxidil was promising for treating male and female pattern baldness in 1994, but more research on genetics and other treatments was needed.
research Spectrum of Phenotypes Associated with Human MC1R Variations
MC1R gene variations affect skin, hair color, UV sensitivity, and melanoma risk.
research Concentric or Targetoid Regrowth in Alopecia Areata
The document concludes that a unique target-like hair regrowth pattern in alopecia areata may be more common than thought and should be properly identified.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Large-scale genome-wide meta-analysis of polycystic ovary syndrome suggests shared genetic architecture for different diagnosis criteria.
PCOS shares similar genetic traits across different diagnosis criteria and is linked to other health conditions.
research Improved humoral immunity and protection against influenza virus infection with a 3D porous biomaterial vaccine
