A specific genetic change in the KRT71 gene causes a hair loss condition in Hereford cattle.
research Assessment of Serum Level of Betatrophien in Acne Vulgaris Patient
People with severe acne tend to have higher levels of betatrophin.
research Inherited Epidermolysis Bullosa: A Clinical Case
A 37-year-old male with severe skin and internal issues has a rare inherited skin condition called dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.
research 178 Neutrophil elastase is critical in linear IgA bullous dermatosis in mice
CD8+ T cells attack hair follicle stem cells, causing scarring and hair loss.
research Folliculin, the Product of the Birt-Hogg-Dube Tumor Suppressor Gene, Interacts with the Adherens Junction Protein p0071 to Regulate Cell-Cell Adhesion
The protein folliculin, involved in a rare disease, works with another protein to control how cells stick together and their organization, and changes in this interaction can lead to disease symptoms.
research Micronutrients for Hair and Nails
Certain micronutrients may improve hair and nail health, but more research is needed to confirm their benefits.
research Demethylation of methionine and keratin damage in human hair
Copper and iron cause keratin damage in hair by converting methionine to homocysteine.
research Erythrokeratodermia Variabilis
A 4-year-old girl was diagnosed with erythrokeratodermia variabilis after other treatments failed.
research A Homozygous Nonsense Mutation in the Zinc-Finger Domain of the Human Hairless Gene Underlies Congenital Atrichia
A specific gene mutation causes complete hair loss without other health issues.
research Degradation of Human Hair by Papain
Papain and bisulfite break down human hair by dissolving parts of it.
research Control of Human Hair Growth by Neurotrophins: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Inhibits Hair Shaft Elongation, Induces Catagen, and Stimulates Follicular Transforming Growth Factor β2 Expression
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) slows down hair growth and promotes hair follicle regression.
research Increased Susceptibility to Skin Carcinogenesis Associated with a Spontaneous Mouse Mutation in the Palmitoyl Transferase Zdhhc13 Gene
A mouse gene mutation increases the risk of skin cancer.
research BMP2-mediated PTEN enhancement promotes differentiation of hair follicle stem cells by inducing autophagy
BMP2 helps hair follicle stem cells become specialized by increasing PTEN, which causes autophagy.
research FC054 The liver monoxygenase system in patients with alopecia
Alopecia patients have a less active liver monoxygenase system, which can be treated with photochemotherapy and system inducers.
research Keratins as an Inflammation Trigger Point in Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex
Mutant keratins cause inflammation in Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex, suggesting targeting them could help treat the disorder.
research Identification of factors contributing to phenotypic divergence via quantitative image analyses of autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis with homozygous c.736T>ALIPH mutation
Different hair fiber development might explain why hair loss severity varies in patients with a specific genetic mutation, and treatments that thicken hair could help.

Personalized sonidegib dosing can effectively treat Gorlin-Goltz syndrome with fewer side effects.
research Epidermal expression of the truncated prelamin A causing Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome: effects on keratinocytes, hair and skin
Progerin affects cell shape but not hair or skin in mice.
research Macrocytosis and pseudoalbinism: Manifestations of selenium deficiency
Selenium deficiency can cause skin and hair color loss, muscle weakness, and blood cell changes, but these improve with selenium supplements.
research A newborn presenting with congenital blistering
The newborn's skin blistering is due to a genetic condition called epidermolytic hyperkeratosis.
