research A Mouse Model for the Basal Transcription/DNA Repair Syndrome Trichothiodystrophy
Researchers created a mouse with the same mutation as humans with trichothiodystrophy, showing similar symptoms and confirming the condition is due to defects in DNA repair and gene activity.
research Hair follicle aging is driven by transepidermal elimination of stem cells via COL17A1 proteolysis
Hair loss is caused by the breakdown of a protein called COL17A1 in hair follicle stem cells.
research Unilateral heterochromia of scalp hair with adjacent hypomelanotic skin lesions
