research CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Regulatory Tregs inhibit fibrocyte recruitment and fibrosis via suppression of FGF-9 production in the TGF-β1 exposed murine lung
Special immune cells called Tregs can help prevent lung scarring by blocking a specific growth factor.
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 Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor and proglucagon expression in mouse skin
Mice skin has components that could help with hair growth and might be used for diabetes treatment.
research Dietary glucoraphanin prevents the onset of psychosis in the adult offspring after maternal immune activation
Eating glucoraphanin can help prevent psychosis in offspring whose mothers had immune system activation.
research Vasoactive intestinal peptide, whose receptor-mediated signalling may be defective in alopecia areata, provides protection from hair follicle immune privilege collapse
A substance called VIP might protect hair follicles from being attacked by the immune system, and problems with VIP signaling could lead to hair loss in alopecia areata.
research Skin: Basic Structure and Function
The skin is a complex barrier that protects the body, regulates temperature, and helps with immune responses.
research A Small Molecule Inhibitor Partitions Two Distinct Pathways for Trafficking of Tonoplast Intrinsic Proteins in Arabidopsis
Two distinct pathways direct proteins to vacuoles in Arabidopsis, affecting root hair growth and protein targeting.

Researchers created a new mouse model for studying Citrullinemia Type I and similar conditions, showing symptoms and treatment responses like those in humans.
research Nobiletin-loaded composite penetration enhancer vesicles restore the normal miRNA expression and the chief defence antioxidant levels in skin cancer
Nobiletin-loaded vesicles effectively treat skin cancer by restoring normal miRNA and antioxidant levels.
research Planar cell polarity-dependent and independent functions in the emergence of tissue-scale hair follicle patterns
Mice can correct hair follicle orientation without certain genes, but proper overall alignment needs those genes.
