research Granzyme B in Autoimmune Skin Disease
Granzyme B is important in autoimmune skin diseases and could be a new treatment target.
research Characterization of the epidermal-dermal junction in hiPSC-derived skin organoids
The study created hair-bearing skin models that lack a key protein for skin layer attachment, limiting their use for certain skin disease research.
research Type 2 Cytokine–Dependent Skin Barrier Regulation in Personalized 2-Dimensional and 3-Dimensional Skin Models of Atopic Dermatitis: A Pilot Study
AD-derived keratinocytes effectively mimic inflammation in atopic dermatitis.
research Folliculin interacts with p0071 (plakophilin-4) and deficiency is associated with disordered RhoA signalling, epithelial polarization and cytokinesis
Folliculin deficiency causes problems with cell division and positioning due to disrupted RhoA signaling and interaction with p0071.
research Gene-knockout mice with abnormal epidermal and hair follicular development
Knocking out certain genes in mice helps understand skin and hair growth problems.
research The Nude Mutant Gene Foxn1 Is a HOXC13 Regulatory Target during Hair Follicle and Nail Differentiation
HOXC13 is essential for hair and nail development by regulating Foxn1.
research Isolation and Characterization of Human Repetin, a Member of the Fused Gene Family of the Epidermal Differentiation Complex
Repetin is a protein involved in skin and hair development, binding calcium and compensating for other proteins when needed.
research Fine structure and immunocytochemistry of monotreme hairs, with emphasis on the inner root sheath and trichohyalin‐based cornification during hair evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile 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 The Function and Structure of the Skin
The skin protects the body, regulates temperature, senses touch, and makes vitamin D.
research Structure and Function of the Skin
The skin has multiple layers and cells, serves as a protective barrier, helps regulate temperature, enables sensation, affects appearance, and is involved in vitamin D synthesis.
research Discussion: Themes in the Molecular Structure of Hair
Keratin proteins are crucial for hair structure and strength.
research Mutations in the Desmoglein 4 Gene Are Associated with Monilethrix-like Congenital Hypotrichosis
Mutations in the DSG4 gene can cause a rare hair disorder similar to monilethrix.
research KLK5 and KLK7 Ablation Fully Rescues Lethality of Netherton Syndrome-Like Phenotype
Removing both KLK5 and KLK7 proteins can prevent death and skin issues in Netherton syndrome.
research Proteomic tools for the investigation of human hair structural proteins and evidence of weakness sites on hair keratin coil segments
Hair proteins have weak spots in their α-helical segments.
research Establishment of a culture model for the prolonged maintenance of chicken feather follicles structure in vitro
Scientists have developed a method to keep chicken feather follicles alive and structurally intact in a lab for up to a week.
research Conditional knock out of N-WASP in keratinocytes causes skin barrier defects and atopic dermatitis-like inflammation
N-WASP is essential for healthy skin and preventing inflammation.
research Healthy individuals genetically at-risk for the development of Pemphigus vulgaris or Alopecia areata share disease-like cytokine dysregulation
Genetically at-risk healthy people show similar immune issues as those with Pemphigus vulgaris or Alopecia areata.
research Identification of Stem Cell Populations in Sweat Glands and Ducts Reveals Roles in Homeostasis and Wound Repair
The study found that sweat glands contain different types of stem cells that help with healing and maintaining healthy skin.
research Recent advances in congenital ichthyoses
