90-120 / 1000+ results research In this Issue
New findings on hair keratin, wound healing, and skin blistering were presented.
research Stem Cells and their Niches
The document concludes that stem cells and their environments are crucial for skin and hair health and have potential for medical treatments.
research No mucosal involvement in a patient with paraneoplastic pemphigus associated with thymoma and myasthenia gravis
The patient had paraneoplastic pemphigus without mucosal involvement.
research Scalp involvement in pemphigus: a prognostic marker
Scalp involvement in pemphigus means the disease is more severe and harder to treat.
research Increased risk of severe course of pemphigus in patients with pemphigus‐associated alopecia: a prospective observational study
Pemphigus patients with alopecia have more severe and treatment-resistant disease.
research Clinical Snippets
Melanoma risk tools need improvement, certain gene mutations cause skin diseases and could be treated by targeting those mutations, skin wrinkling may relate to lung aging due to genetic factors, and oxidative stress affects hair loss but can be reduced in low oxygen.
research Mice lacking desmocollin 1 show epidermal fragility accompanied by barrier defects and abnormal differentiation
Desmocollin 1 is essential for strong skin and proper skin function.
research Homozygous Nonsense Mutation in DSC3 Resulting in Skin Fragility and Hypotrichosis
A boy's skin fragility and sparse hair were caused by a genetic mutation affecting skin cell adhesion.
research Heterozygous Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy-desmoplakin Mutation Carriers Exhibit a Subclinical Cutaneous Phenotype with Cell Membrane Disruption and Lack of Intercellular Adhesion
Carriers of a specific gene mutation have subtle skin changes without visible symptoms.
research Novel insights into cardiocutaneous syndromes
Understanding genetics is crucial for treating heart and skin diseases.
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 Gsdma3 Mutation Causes Bulge Stem Cell Depletion and Alopecia Mediated by Skin Inflammation
A Gsdma3 mutation causes hair loss due to stem cell damage from skin inflammation.
research Depletion of Gsdma1/2/3 alleviates PMA-induced epidermal hyperplasia by inhibiting the EGFR–Stat3/Akt pathway
Removing Gsdma1/2/3 genes reduces skin cell overgrowth by blocking a specific cell pathway.
research Mutant Cx43 in Skin Differentiation and Disease
Mutant Cx43 causes slower wound healing and hair growth issues in ODDD.
research 피부 발육과정에서 데스모콜린 1의 발현에 관한 면역조직화학적 연구
Desmocollin 1 helps maintain skin structure during fetal development.
research SCD1 Sustains Homeostasis of Bulge Niche via Maintaining Hemidesmosomes in Basal Keratinocytes
SCD1 is important for hair growth by keeping the connection in skin cells where hair stem cells live stable.
research LB1076 Using the frog embryonic epidermis as a model to study desmosome function during development
Frog skin cells need the protein desmoplakin for proper development and cell layer formation.
research 259 Immunohistochemical insight into the association between the collapse of immune privilege in the sweat gland and syringotropic immune cell infiltrates in collagen diseases
The study found that sweat glands normally suppress immune responses, but this is disrupted in certain skin diseases, possibly contributing to their development.
research Corneodesmosomes and corneodesmosin: from the stratum corneum cohesion to the pathophysiology of genodermatoses
Corneodesmosin is crucial for skin and hair health, and its dysfunction can cause skin and hair disorders.
research 312 CRISPR/Cas9-based targeted genome editing for correction of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa using iPS cells
The research showed that CRISPR/Cas9 can fix mutations causing a skin disease in stem cells, which then improved skin grafts in mice, but more work on safety and efficiency is needed.
research 1329 Transglutaminase 2 deficiency leads to lipid accumulation and reduced autophagy in SZ95 sebocytes
Lack of TG2 increases fat storage and lowers cell cleanup in skin oil cells.
research The role of Glucosylceramides in Keratinocyte Differentiation and Epidermal Barrier Function
Glucosylceramides are essential for healthy skin and proper wound healing.
research Identification of somatic and germline mosaicism for a keratin 5 mutation in epidermolysis bullosa simplex in a family of which the proband was previously regarded as a sporadic case
The keratin 5 mutation in a family with epidermolysis bullosa simplex was due to mosaicism, not a new mutation.
research A 4kb Fragment of the Desmocollin 3 Promoter Directs Reporter Gene Expression to Parakeratotic Epidermis and Primary Hair Follicles
A 4kb fragment of the desmocollin 3 promoter targets gene expression to specific skin and hair follicle areas.
