research TGF-β family signaling in stem cells
TGF-β signaling is crucial for stem cell maintenance, differentiation, and has implications for cancer treatment.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Ligand‐independent Regulation of the hairless Promoter by Vitamin D Receptor†
Vitamin D receptor can control the hairless gene linked to hair loss even without vitamin D.
research Hair Follicle: A Novel Source of Multipotent Stem Cells for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine
Hair follicle stem cells are a promising source for tissue repair and treating skin or hair diseases.
research Hairless Modulates Ligand-Dependent Activation of the Vitamin D Receptor-Retinoid X Receptor Heterodimer
Hairless protein can both repress and activate vitamin D receptor functions, affecting gene regulation.
research PBX homeobox 1 enhances hair follicle mesenchymal stem cell proliferation and reprogramming through activation of the AKT/glycogen synthase kinase signaling pathway and suppression of apoptosis
PBX1 helps hair stem cells grow and change by turning on certain cell signals and preventing cell death, which may be useful for hair regrowth treatments.
research Deciphering principles of morphogenesis from temporal and spatial patterns on the integument
The conclusion is that skin and hair patterns are formed by a mix of cell activities, molecular signals, and environmental factors.
research Immunological aspects and gender bias during respiratory viral infections including novel Coronavirus disease‐19 (COVID‐19): A scoping review
Men are more likely to have severe respiratory viral infections like COVID-19 due to hormonal and genetic differences, while women generally have stronger immune responses.
research Hair Follicle Disruption Facilitates Pathogenesis to UVB-Induced Cutaneous Inflammation and Basal Cell Carcinoma Development in Ptch+/− Mice
Damaged hair follicles make mice more prone to skin inflammation and skin cancer after UV exposure.
research Expression of the Wnt signaling pathway and hair follicle development in Rex rabbits of different ages
Rex rabbits should not be slaughtered before 120 days for the best fur quality.
research Clinical and molecular genetic studies in hereditary hair loss
Researchers found a genetic link for hereditary hair loss but need more analysis to identify the exact gene.
research Expression and function of nuclear receptor co-activator 4: evidence of a potential role independent of co-activator activity
NcoA4 may have roles beyond helping control gene activity, possibly affecting cell behavior and stability.
research Deletion of hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl 4-hydroxylase 2 in FoxD1-lineage mesenchymal cells leads to congenital truncal alopecia
Removing a specific gene in certain skin cells causes hair loss on the body by disrupting normal hair development.
research Meta-analysis identifies novel risk loci and yields systematic insights into the biology of male-pattern baldness
Researchers found 63 genes linked to male-pattern baldness, which could help in understanding its biology and developing new treatments.
research Single-cell chromatin landscapes of mouse skin development
The study maps how genes are regulated during mouse hair growth.
research WNT10A mutation causes ectodermal dysplasia by impairing progenitor cell proliferation and KLF4-mediated differentiation
A WNT10A gene mutation leads to ectodermal dysplasia by disrupting cell growth and differentiation.
research An integrative view of mammalian seasonal neuroendocrinology
The article concludes that better understanding gene regulation related to seasonal changes can offer insights into the mechanisms of seasonal timing in mammals.
research Regulation of somatic cell reprogramming through inducible mir-302 expression
Increasing mir-302 turns human hair cells into stem cells by changing gene regulation and demethylation.
research Demethylation of ITGAV accelerates osteogenic differentiation in a blast-induced heterotopic ossification in vitro cell culture model
Removing a methyl group from the ITGAV gene speeds up bone formation in a specific type of bone disease model.
research Lineage Commitment of Dermal Fibroblast Progenitors is Mediated by Chromatin De-repression
Skin cell types develop when specific genes are turned on by removing certain chemical tags from DNA.
research Genome-Wide Association Studies for Immunoglobulin Concentrations in Colostrum and Serum in Chinese Holstein
Certain genes influence immunoglobulin levels in Chinese Holstein cows, which can improve calf health.
research All Roads Go to the Nucleus: Integration of Signaling/Transcription Factor-Mediated and Epigenetic Regulatory Mechanisms in the Control of Skin Development and Regeneration
The nucleus is key in controlling skin growth and repair by coordinating signals, gene regulators, and epigenetic changes.
research Transcriptomic profiling in Silurana tropicalis testes exposed to finasteride
