Lhx2 is a crucial regulator of the Sonic Hedgehog signaling in early mouse retinal development.
Lhx2 helps retinal cells respond to signals for eye development.
January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
Defective protein folding due to a mutation is key in ANE syndrome.
ANE syndrome is caused by a mutation in the RBM28 protein that disrupts ribosome assembly.
