Male genital development is driven by androgen signaling and understanding it could help address congenital anomalies.
research Upregulation of interfollicular epidermal and hair infundibulum β-catenin expression in Gsdma3 mutant mice
Mice with a Gsdma3 gene mutation have thicker skin and longer hair follicle openings due to increased β-catenin levels.
research STIM1 R304W in mice causes subgingival hair growth and an increased fraction of trabecular bone
The STIM1 R304W mutation in mice leads to bone changes and teeth hair growth.
research 924 Efficient genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoprotein approach in iPS cells for recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa
Researchers fixed gene mutations causing a skin disease in stem cells, which then improved skin grafts in mice.
research Early onset and novel features in a spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy patient with a 68 CAG repeat
A patient with a larger than usual genetic mutation had a broader range of symptoms for a muscle disease.
research Early Dengue Virus Infection in Human Skin: A Cycle of Inflammation and Infectivity
Chicken feather gene mutation helps understand human hair disorders.
research Roles of jumonji and jumonji family genes in chromatin regulation and development
Jumonji genes are important for development and their mutations can cause abnormalities, especially in the heart and brain.
research Inherited ichthyoses/generalized Mendelian disorders of cornification
Inherited ichthyoses cause widespread skin scaling and thickening due to gene mutations.
research High proliferation and delamination during skin epidermal stratification
High proliferation and cell delamination drive early skin development, while later stages may not rely on cell division orientation.
research Clinical and genetic findings in a Chinese family with VDR-associated hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets
A Chinese family had a child with a specific gene mutation causing vitamin D-resistant rickets, but the child improved with calcium and low-dose calcitriol.
research Generalised Glucocorticoid Resistance
Generalized glucocorticoid resistance causes hormone imbalances and varied symptoms due to gene mutations.
research Region-specific reversal of epidermal planar polarity in the rosette fancy mouse
Hair follicles in the back of the rosette fancy mouse have reversed orientations due to a gene mutation.
research Steroidogenic factor-1 lineage origin of skin lesions in Carney complex syndrome
Skin lesions in Carney complex are likely caused by a specific group of skin cells that promote pigment production due to a genetic mutation.
research The ITGB6 gene: its role in experimental and clinical biology
The ITGB6 gene is important for tissue repair and hair growth, and mutations can lead to enamel defects and other health issues.
research Abstracts
The document reports findings on genetic research, including ethical concerns about genome editing, improved diagnosis of mitochondrial mutations, solving inherited eye diseases, confirming gene roles in epilepsy, linking a gene to aneurysms, and identifying genes associated with age-related macular degeneration.
research Structure of human steroid 5α-reductase 2 with the anti-androgen drug finasteride
Finasteride irreversibly affects human steroid 5α-reductase 2, providing insight into its catalytic mechanism and disease-related mutations.
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 Plain language summaries
Doctors need more training in skin cancer screening, a new treatment is effective for a skin condition, better diagnosis methods for skin cancer are available, hair loss in women may be linked to hormones and cholesterol, certain skin care products might cause hair loss, babies' skin gets weaker after birth, and a gene mutation might be linked to eczema.
research 1322 A non-cell autonomous dermal hedgehog signaling mechanism for follicular neoplasia and induction
Mutations in the SHH pathway in certain skin cells can cause skin tumors and abnormal hair growth.
research A kindred with mutant IKAROS and autoimmunity
A mutation in the IKZF1 gene causes immune system overactivity, linked to autoimmune diseases like lupus.
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 Identification of llama KRTAP7-1 and KRTAP8-1 fiber genes and polymorphism screening
