research Lamellar ichthyosis with pseudoexon activation in the transglutaminase 1 gene
The boy's severe skin disorder is caused by two new mutations in his TGM1 gene.
research Hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-resistant rickets (HVDRR): clinical heterogeneity and long-term efficacious management of eight patients from four unrelated Arab families with a loss of function VDR mutation
Patients with the same genetic mutation for vitamin D-resistant rickets showed different symptoms but all improved with treatment except for hair loss.
research Protein Kinase C δ Overexpressing Transgenic Mice Are Resistant to Chemically but not to UV Radiation–Induced Development of Squamous Cell Carcinomas: A Possible Link to Specific Cytokines and Cyclooxygenase-2
Mice with extra PKCδ resist chemical-induced skin cancer but not UV-induced.
research Interleukin-6 Null Mice Paradoxically Display Increased STAT3 Activity and Wound-Induced Hair Neogenesis
Mice without the IL-6 gene had more hair growth after injury due to higher activity of a related protein, Stat3.
research Genome Report: chromosome-scale genome assembly of the African spiny mouse (Acomys cahirinus)
The improved genome of the African spiny mouse will help understand its tissue regeneration abilities.
research Novel Vitamin D Receptor Mutations in Hereditary Vitamin D Resistant Rickets in Chinese
New mutations in the VDR gene cause vitamin D-resistant rickets without hair loss.
research 965 In search of the common mechano-chemical pathways during the regeneration of spiny (acomys cahirinus) and laboratory (mus musculus) mouse skin
Spiny mice regenerate skin better than laboratory mice due to larger hair bulges, more stem cells, and different collagen ratios.
research Transgenic mice display hair loss and regrowth overexpressing mutant Hr gene
Mice with a changed Hr gene lose and regrow hair due to changes in the gene's activity.
research Hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-resistant rickets with alopecia resulting from a novel missense mutation in the DNA-binding domain of the vitamin D receptor
A new gene mutation causes vitamin D resistance and rickets, treatable with calcium therapy.
research 1233 Exploring the role of melanocyte subpopulations in vitiligo
A specific group of early-stage melanocytes is reduced in vitiligo-affected skin, which may explain treatment resistance.
research Comparative regenerative biology of spiny ( Acomys cahirinus) and laboratory ( Mus musculus) mouse skin
Spiny mice are better at regenerating hair after injury than laboratory mice and could help us understand how to improve human skin repair.
research 415 IL-17C: Checkpoint in innate skin immunology
IL-17C is important in inflammatory skin diseases and could be a target for treatment.
research Failure of Fresh Plasma in Leiner Disease
Fresh plasma transfusions did not help treat Leiner disease in an infant.
research Defective trophoblast function in mice with a targeted mutation of Ets2
Ets2 gene is crucial for placental development in mice.
research Editors' Picks
Collagen VII helps skin heal and stay strong, sirolimus may lower skin cancer risk in kidney transplant patients, high-molecular-mass hyaluronan helps naked mole rats resist cancer, dermal γδ T cells aid in hair growth in rodents, and overexpression of IL-33 in mouse skin causes itchiness, offering a model for studying allergic inflammation treatments.
research Impaired Lef1 activation accelerates iPSC-derived keratinocytes differentiation in Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome
Impaired LEF1 activation speeds up skin cell development in Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome.
research Alteration of Skin Wound Healing in Keratinocyte-Specific Mediator Complex Subunit 1 Null Mice
MED1 affects skin wound healing differently in young and old mice.
research Study on the Activity of Sheep High-sulfur Keratin Promoter
The B2C promoter works in sheep cells but not in mouse embryos.
research 707 Chromatin remodeler Lymphoid-specific helicase (Lsh) is a critical determinant controlling postnatal epidermal growth, differentiation and response to injury
Lymphoid-specific helicase (Lsh) is crucial for skin growth, change, and healing after injury.
research Breakdown of Immune Tolerance in AIRE-Deficient Rats Induces a Severe Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathy–Candidiasis–Ectodermal Dystrophy–like Autoimmune Disease
AIRE-deficient rats developed severe autoimmune disease similar to APECED, useful for testing treatments.
research 666 Sebaceous gland abnormalities in fatty acyl CoA reductase 2 (Far2) null mice result in follicular dystrophy and primary cicatricial alopecia
Mutations in Far2 mice cause hair loss due to sebaceous gland issues.
research Functional analysis of thymosin beta-4 using over-expressing transgenic mice
Melanoma cells lose their ability to form tumors when placed in a zebrafish embryo environment.
research Overexpression of HE4/WFDC2 gene in mice leads to keratitis and corneal opacity
Overexpression of the HE4 gene in mice causes eye inflammation and cloudiness.
research Visualising Androgen Receptor Activity in Male and Female Mice
Androgen receptors are active in many tissues of both male and female mice, not just reproductive organs.
research Two mouse mutations mapped to chromosome 11 with differing morphologies but similar progressive inflammatory alopecia
Two mouse mutations cause similar hair loss despite different skin changes.
research The ovariectomized mouse simulates the pathophysiology of postmenopausal female pattern hair loss
Ovariectomized mice mimic postmenopausal hair loss, and estradiol helps maintain hair density.
