research 1339 Casein kinase 1 inhibition in keratinocytes enhances the migration of melanocyte precursors in the hair follicle via KitL/c-Kit signaling pathway
Blocking casein kinase 1 in skin cells can help melanocyte precursors move better, potentially helping with conditions like vitiligo or gray hair.
research Changes in Color of Hair and Feathers
Pilocarpin can cause hair regrowth and color change in some cases but not in others, and it may have side effects in animals.
research The medusa head: Dermoscopic diagnosis of woolly hair syndrome
A man with Woolly Hair Syndrome had very curly, fragile hair, and doctors used a special scalp examination to diagnose him without invasive tests.
research Autosomal recessive ichthyosis with hypotrichosis syndrome: further delineation of the phenotype
A new mutation in the ST14 gene was found in a patient with ARIH syndrome, showing milder symptoms and no tooth issues.
research Squamous epithelial proliferation induced by walleye dermal sarcoma retrovirus cyclin in transgenic mice
The Walleye dermal sarcoma virus cyclin causes excessive skin cell growth in mice.
research Mutation analysis of type II hair keratin gene in a pedigree with monilethrix
A new gene mutation is linked to monilethrix in the studied family.
research iRhom2 Mutation Leads to Aberrant Hair Follicle Differentiation in Mice
A mutation in the iRhom2 gene causes hairless mice due to abnormal hair follicle development.
research The Medical Treatment of Cicatricial Alopecia
Current treatments for cicatricial alopecia can manage symptoms but don't stop hair loss or the disease.
research Unexpectedly high carrier rates and genotype/phenotype correlation; LIPH mutations in Japanese autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis
Certain gene mutations in Japanese people are linked to different types of hair loss, with some causing mild hair thinning and others leading to complete baldness.
research The effect of cilostazol, a phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3) inhibitor, on human hair growth with the dual promoting mechanisms
Cilostazol helps hair grow by making hair root cells grow faster and changing growth factor levels.
research Identification of a Cyclosporine-Specific P450 Hydroxylase Gene through Targeted Cytochrome P450 Complement (CYPome) Disruption in Sebekia benihana
A gene in Sebekia benihana, CYP-sb21, is needed for a specific reaction on the drug Cyclosporine A, which could be important for hair growth without affecting the immune system.
research Gain‐of‐function variants in the ODC1 gene cause a syndromic neurodevelopmental disorder associated with macrocephaly, alopecia, dysmorphic features, and neuroimaging abnormalities
ODC1 gene mutations cause a neurodevelopmental disorder with large head size, hair loss, and facial abnormalities.
research Novel compound heterozygous mutations in thedesmoplakingene cause hair shaft abnormalities and culminate in lethal cardiomyopathy
Mutations in the desmoplakin gene can cause hair problems and deadly heart disease.
research Riboflavin-responsive glutaryl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency
Taking riboflavin and eating less lysine can help some people with a specific genetic disorder avoid brain damage.
research The Negative Regulator CXXC5: Making WNT Look a Little Less Dishevelled
CXXC5 is a protein that prevents hair growth and could be a target for hair loss treatment.
research Adrenoleukodystrophy: A Rare Case Report
Early diagnosis and genetic counseling are crucial for managing adrenoleukodystrophy.
research Cyclosporin A-induced hair growth in mice is associated with inhibition of calcineurin-dependent activation of NFAT in follicular keratinocytes
Cyclosporin A helps mice grow hair by blocking a specific protein activity in skin cells.
research Alkaline Ceramidase 1 Protects Mice from Premature Hair Loss by Maintaining the Homeostasis of Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Alkaline Ceramidase 1 prevents early hair loss in mice by keeping hair follicle stem cells balanced.
research Novel ABCD1 Gene Mutation in Adrenomyeloneuropathy with Hypoplasia and Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum
Researchers found a new ABCD1 gene mutation linked to a rare brain and nerve disorder with unusual brain changes.
research Trichothiodystrophy
research Trichothiodystrophy Associated with Urologic Malformation and Primary Hypercalduria
Trichothiodystrophy can be linked to urologic issues and high calcium in urine.
research Eccrine Duct Dilation as a Marker of Cicatricial Alopecia
Enlarged sweat gland ducts may indicate scarring hair loss.
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.
research Increased rate of hair keratin gene loss in the cetacean lineage
Cetaceans lost hair genes to adapt to water.
research Skin and hair regeneration after calciphylaxis. Histologic changes during formation and shedding of the calciphylactic carapace of the rat
After calciphylaxis, rats showed incomplete skin and hair regeneration, resembling scar tissue with fewer hairs.
research KERATOSIS FOLLICULARIS WITH UNUSUAL INVOLVEMENT OF THE SCALP
A rare case of severe scalp hair loss and nail issues in keratosis follicularis was observed.
