210-240 / 1000+ resultsresearch The nude gene and the skin
The nude gene is important for skin and hair development.
research An epistatic effect of KRT25 on SP6 is involved in curly coat in horses
The genes KRT25 and SP6 affect curly hair in horses, with KRT25 also causing hair loss. If both genes are mutated, the horse gets curly hair and hair loss. KRT25 can hide the effect of SP6.
research Stereological Quantification of Cell-Cycle Kinetics and Mobilization of Epithelial Stem Cells during Wound Healing
The method helps estimate and track skin cell growth and movement during healing.
research Mechanism-Based Strategies for Prevention of Taxane-Induced Hair Follicle Damage in Cancer Chemotherapy
Low-intensity ultrasound may prevent hair loss during taxane chemotherapy.
research The analysis of genetics and associated autoimmune diseases in Chinese vitiligo patients
Generalized vitiligo in Chinese patients is linked to other autoimmune diseases, especially in familial cases.
research Type II Epithelial Keratin 6hf (K6hf) Is Expressed in the Companion Layer, Matrix, and Medulla in Anagen-Stage Hair Follicles
K6hf is found in specific parts of hair follicles, nails, and tongue, and is linked to hair growth and structure.
research Characterization of Human KAP24.1, A Cuticular Hair Keratin-Associated Protein with Unusual Amino-Acid Composition and Repeat Structure
Scientists discovered a unique hair protein, KAP24.1, with a special structure, found only in the upper part of hair cuticles.
research A Mutational Hotspot in the 2B Domain of Human Hair Basic Keratin 6 (hHb6) in Monilethrix Patients
A common mutation in the hHb6 gene is linked to monilethrix, but other factors may also play a role.
research Venus trap in the mouse embryo reveals distinct molecular dynamics underlying specification of first embryonic lineages
Tmem50b and 2610305D13Rik genes play key roles in early mouse embryo development.
research Progressive Hair Loss and Myocardial Degeneration in Rough Coat Mice: Reduced Lysyl Oxidase-Like (LOXL) in the Skin and Heart
The gene causing hair loss and heart issues in rough coat mice is still unknown.
research Mutational spectrum associated with oculocutaneous albinism and Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome in nine Pakistani families
New genetic variants linked to albinism were found in Pakistani families.
research Clinical and genetic investigation of ichthyosis in familial and sporadic cases in south of Tunisia: genotype–phenotype correlation
Different gene mutations cause different types of ichthyosis, with some new mutations found.
research Novel splicing‐site mutation in DCAF17 gene causing Woodhouse‐Sakati syndrome in a large consanguineous family
A new mutation in the DCAF17 gene was found to cause Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome in a large family.
research FGF5 is a crucial regulator of hair length in humans
FGF5 gene mutations cause unusually long eyelashes by affecting hair growth regulation.
research Tabby pattern genetics – a whole new breed of cat
Two genes, Tabby and Ticked, determine cat coat patterns.
research Familial 1q22 microduplication associated with psychiatric disorders, intellectual disability and late-onset autoimmune inflammatory response
A specific genetic change is linked to mental disorders, intellectual disability, and possibly autoimmune disease in a family.
research Dyslipidaemia in women with polycystic ovary syndrome referred to a teaching hospital in Cape Town, South Africa
Many women with PCOS have abnormal cholesterol levels, needing careful management.
research Cantú Syndrome Is Caused by Mutations in ABCC9
Cantú syndrome is caused by mutations in the ABCC9 gene.
research Towards Defining the Pathogenesis of the Hairless Phenotype
The hairless gene mutation causes baldness by disrupting hair follicle structure.

New mutations in the hairless gene may cause hair loss and affect bone development.
research Identification of Novel Mutations in Basic Hair Keratins hHb1 and hHb6 in Monilethrix: Implications for Protein Structure and Clinical Phenotype
New mutations in hair keratin genes can change hair structure and cause monilethrix, with nail issues more common in certain gene mutations.
research Regulation of stem cell function by protein ubiquitylation
Protein ubiquitylation is crucial for controlling stem cell functions and could be targeted for cancer treatment.
research Folliculin interacts with p0071 (plakophilin-4) and deficiency is associated with disordered RhoA signalling, epithelial polarization and cytokinesis
Folliculin deficiency causes problems with cell division and positioning due to disrupted RhoA signaling and interaction with p0071.
research Position effect on FGF13 associated with X-linked congenital generalized hypertrichosis
FGF13 gene changes cause excessive hair growth in a rare condition.
