research Mechanical forces in skin disorders
Skin problems can be caused or worsened by physical forces and pressure on the skin.
research Skin: Basic Structure and Function
The skin is a complex barrier that protects the body, regulates temperature, and helps with immune responses.
research Cornification
Cornification is the process where living skin cells die to create a protective barrier, and problems with it can cause skin diseases.
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 Noggin is required for induction of the hair follicle growth phase in postnatal skin
Noggin is necessary to start the hair growth phase in skin after birth.
research APCDD1 is a novel Wnt inhibitor mutated in hereditary hypotrichosis simplex
A gene called APCDD1, which controls hair growth, is found to be faulty in a type of hair loss called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.
research Bi-allelic Mutations in LSS, Encoding Lanosterol Synthase, Cause Autosomal-Recessive Hypotrichosis Simplex
Mutations in the LSS gene cause a rare type of hereditary hair loss.
research Keratin 71 Mutations: From Water Dogs to Woolly Hair
A mutation in the KRT71 gene causes a hair disorder by disrupting hair follicle structure and texture.
research Case Report: Bi-allelic missense variant in the desmocollin 3 gene causes hypotrichosis and recurrent skin vesicles
A new genetic change in the DSC3 gene is linked to a rare condition causing hair loss and skin blisters in a child.
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 Keratins: the hair shaft's backbone revealed
Keratins are crucial for hair strength, and mutations in certain keratin genes cause hair disorders.
research RSPO1-mutated keratinocytes from palmoplantar keratoderma display impaired differentiation, alteration of cell–cell adhesion, EMT-like phenotype and invasiveness properties: implications for squamous cell carcinoma susceptibility in patients with 46XX disorder of sexual development
RSPO1 mutations in certain patients lead to skin cells that don't develop properly and are more likely to become invasive, increasing the risk of skin cancer.
research Genetically modified laboratory mice with sebaceous glands abnormalities
Genetic changes in mice help understand skin and hair disorders, aiding treatment development for acne and hair loss.
research Reduced plakoglobin increases the risk of sodium current defects and atrial conduction abnormalities in response to androgenic anabolic steroid abuse
Reduced plakoglobin and steroid abuse increase the risk of heart rhythm issues.
research Autosomal recessive monilethrix: Novel variants of the DSG4 gene in three Chinese families
New gene variants linked to a rare inherited hair loss disorder were found in three Chinese families.
research KLHL24-Mediated Hair Follicle Stem Cells Structural Disruption Causes Alopecia
A faulty KLHL24 gene leads to hair loss by damaging hair follicle stem cells.
research Proteomic Analysis of Two Stem Cell Secretomes Used in Combination in a Topical Skin Care Product That Has Demonstrated Efficacy in a Double-Blinded, Vehicle-Controlled Clinical Trial
The combined stem cell secretome in the skin care product effectively reduces inflammation and promotes tissue regeneration.
research Pathogenic variants affecting peptidyl arginine deiminase 3 and its major substrates underlie central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia
Genetic variants in specific genes cause central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.

AD-derived keratinocytes effectively mimic inflammation in atopic dermatitis.
research 878 Individual variation in balance between platelet-secreted growth factors causing contradictory effects on hair follicle could potentially impact response to PRP therapy in patients with scalp hair loss
People respond differently to hair loss treatment with PRP because of individual differences in growth factors from platelets.
research 879 IL-9 mediated human primary keratinocytes invasion is dependent on MLC controlled contractility and independent of MMP activity
IL-9 increases skin cell movement but decreases their ability to invade, and this effect is controlled by cell contractility, not by MMPs.
