research MAD2B acts as a negative regulatory partner of TCF4 on proliferation in human dermal papilla cells
MAD2B slows down the growth of skin cells that are important for hair development by interacting with TCF4.
research 892 Behavior of the two circulating androgens testosterone and DHEA and their main intracellular metabolites in an androgen-sensitive sebocyte cell line
Testosterone affects androgen receptors and lipid storage in cells, while DHEA does not convert to testosterone or affect these receptors in the same way.
research In vivo alteration of the keratin 17 gene in hair follicles by oligonucleotide‐directed gene targeting
Altering the keratin 17 gene in mice hair follicles caused temporary hair issues, but changes were minimal and short-lived.
research Vitamin D Dependent Rickets Type II with Alopecia
A 2-year-old girl with a rare vitamin D disorder had rickets and hair loss, but treatment was ineffective due to poor compliance.
research Changes in the Expression of Smooth Muscle Cell–Related Genes in Human Dermal Sheath Cup Cells Associated with the Treatment Outcome of Autologous Cell–Based Therapy for Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss
Lower levels of certain genes in hair cells improve hair loss treatment outcomes.
research Change in Hair Cycle and Hair Length in Nude Mice by Administration of Deuterium Oxide
Deuterium oxide extends the hair cycle duration in mice without changing hair structure.
research Epidermal γδ T cells, CD8 T cells and macrophages are increased in number in alopecia areata and express BST2 as part of an interferon-driven antiviral gene signature
In alopecia areata, certain immune cells increase and express a protein linked to immune activation.
research Steroid Sulfatase Deficiency and Androgen Activation Before and After Puberty
In STSD patients, the body compensates for low androgen levels by increasing another enzyme's activity.
research Unlocking the genetic secrets of Dorper sheep: insights into wool shedding and hair follicle development
Dorper sheep's wool shedding is linked to specific genes and pathways, which may help understand human hair growth.
research 362 Not just a cell marker: DPP4 modulates regeneration of hair follicles in large wounds
DPP4, a molecule in skin, helps heal large wounds and regrow hair follicles when its levels are reduced.
research Novel D323G mutation of DSG 4 gene in a girl with localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis clinically overlapped with monilethrix
A new DSG4 gene mutation causes hair defects in a young girl.
research Vitamin D metabolism and function in the skin
Skin cells produce and activate vitamin D, which regulates skin functions and supports hair growth.

research Different gene expression profile observed in dermal papilla cells related to androgenic alopecia by DNA macroarray analysis
Hair loss in balding individuals is linked to changes in specific hair growth-related genes.
research Human type 3 5α-reductase is expressed in peripheral tissues at higher levels than types 1 and 2 and its activity is potently inhibited by finasteride and dutasteride
Type 3 5α-reductase is more common and finasteride and dutasteride strongly inhibit it.
research Expression of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 in visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome is associated with adiposity
Increased HSD11B1 enzyme expression is linked to higher body fat and insulin resistance.
research Novel Mutation in the Hemojuvelin Gene (HJV) in a Patient with Juvenile Hemochromatosis Presenting with Insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus, Secondary Hypothyroidism and Hypogonadism
A new mutation in the HJV gene was found in a young woman with juvenile hemochromatosis, causing unusual symptoms like secondary hypothyroidism.
