research Assessing Dihydrotestosterone-Induced Skin Alterations in C57BL/6 Mice: Implications for Androgenetic Alopecia through High-Resolution Ultrasound Imaging
DHT causes thicker and less elastic skin, linked to hair loss.
research Wwox Deficiency Causes Downregulation of Prosurvival ERK Signaling and Abnormal Homeostatic Responses in Mouse Skin
WWOX deficiency in mice causes skin and fat tissue problems due to disrupted cell survival signals.
research Stabilization of β-catenin promotes melanocyte specification at the expense of the Schwann cell lineage
Activating β-catenin increases melanocytes and decreases Schwann cells.
research Generation of autoreactive CD8 T cell in a mouse model of alopecia areata
Alopecia areata involves unique activation of certain immune cells.
research Non-invasive assessment of hair regeneration in androgenetic alopecia mice in vivo using two-photon and second harmonic generation imaging
New imaging techniques show testosterone delays hair growth and shrinks follicles in mice, but have limited depth for viewing.
research Morphological study in a mechanism of congenital pili torti formation: Björnstad syndrome
Björnstad syndrome causes twisted hair from birth.
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 Integrated analysis of coding genes and non-coding RNAs during hair follicle cycle of cashmere goat (Capra hircus)
The study improved understanding of gene roles in cashmere goat hair growth, aiding future cashmere production.
research A Girl with a Novel Splice Site Mutation in <i>VDR</i> Supports the Role of a Ligand-Independent VDR Function on Hair Cycling
A mutation in the VDR gene affects hair cycling without needing ligand binding.
research Keratin 17 null mice exhibit age- and strain-dependent alopecia
Keratin 17 is crucial for early hair strength and cell survival.
research Functional analyses of a novel missense and other mutations of the vitamin D receptor in association with alopecia
A single amino acid change in the vitamin D receptor can disrupt its function and lead to hair loss.
research Autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis with homozygous mutation in the <i>LIPH</i> gene: a case report
A genetic mutation in the LIPH gene causes a rare hair disorder with sparse, curly hair.
research Clinical symptoms and sex steroid measurements in domestic ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) with hyperadrenocorticism
Neutered ferrets often develop hyperadrenocorticism, with symptoms like hair loss and lethargy, and androstenedione is a key indicator for diagnosis.
research Alopecia attributed to neoplastic ovarian tissue in two ferrets.
Hair loss in two ferrets was caused by ovarian tissue tumors, not adrenal issues.
research Research Snippets
New gene mutations linked to skin conditions were found, bacteria and chemicals may worsen acne, a dog mutation could exist in humans, virus-like elements might be involved in psoriasis, and a vitamin D3 treatment doesn't prevent chemotherapy-related hair loss.
research Animal models of human skin disease
Mutations in certain skin proteins cause severe skin issues, while others have limited effects, highlighting the need to understand these proteins for better treatments.
research PNKP is required for maintaining the integrity of progenitor cell populations in adult mice
PNKP is essential for keeping adult mouse progenitor cells healthy and growing normally.
research Overexpression of Hoxc13 in differentiating keratinocytes results in downregulation of a novel hair keratin gene cluster and alopecia
Overexpression of Hoxc13 in hair cells causes hair loss and skin issues.
research Effect of the Polymorphisms of Keratin Associated Protein 8.2 Gene on Fibre Traits in Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goats
KAP8.2 gene variations affect cashmere quality in goats.
research Patients with Compound Heterozygous Mutations in Forkhead Box N1 have a Severe Immunodeficiency while Maintaining Normal Skin and Hair Development
Patients with certain FoxN1 gene mutations have severe immune issues but normal skin and hair.
research Finding bald spots on chromosome 20p11
New genes linked to male pattern baldness were found on chromosome 20p11.
research A missense mutation in the type II hair keratin hHb3 is associated with monilethrix
A mutation in the hHb3 gene is linked to the hair disorder monilethrix.
research Characterization of the serotoninergic system in the C57BL/6 mouse skin
Mouse skin can produce and process serotonin, with variations depending on hair cycle, body location, and mouse strain.
research Finding models for skin diseases: successes and failures
The document concludes that while finding animal models for the skin disease Hidradenitis suppurativa is challenging, certain mouse mutations may provide useful insights for research and drug testing.
research An immune regulatory CCT repeat containing oligodeoxynucleotide capable of causing hair loss in male mice
A specific DNA sequence caused hair loss in male mice by activating immune cells and increasing a certain immune signal.
research T Cell Immunodeficiency, Congenital Alopecia, and Nail Dystrophy
A rare genetic mutation causes severe immune issues, hair loss, and nail problems.
research Annurca Apple Polyphenols Protect Murine Hair Follicles from Taxane Induced Dystrophy and Hijacks Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Metabolism toward β-Oxidation
Annurca apple extract may protect mouse hair from damage by chemotherapy and could help treat hair loss without promoting cancer growth.
