RNA-based treatments show promise for managing Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome.
research Differential metabolic adaptations define responses of winner and loser oncogenic mutant stem cells in skin epidermisin vivo
Mutant stem cells adapt their metabolism differently to outcompete normal cells in the skin.
research More about X‐linked testicular feminization of the mouse as a noninducible (is) mutation of a regulatory locus: 5α‐androstan‐3α‐17ß‐diol as the true inducer of kidney alcohol dehydrogenase and ß‐glucuronidase
A specific metabolite, not a receptor protein, triggers the production of certain kidney enzymes, but this process is disrupted in mice with a mutation causing testicular feminization.
research Recently Identified Forms of Epidermolysis Bullosa
Three new types of a skin blistering disease were found, caused by specific gene mutations.
research XEDAR activates the non-canonical NF-κB pathway
XEDAR triggers a specific signaling pathway in cells.
research Modulation of Vitamin D Receptor Activity by the Corepressor Hairless: Differential Effects of Hairless Isoforms
Different Hairless isoforms affect Vitamin D receptor activity in hair regulation, with one repressing and the other stimulating it.
research Progressive Alopecia Reveals Decreasing Stem Cell Activation Probability during Aging of Mice with Epidermal Deletion of DNA Methyltransferase 1
Mice lacking a key DNA methylation enzyme in skin cells have a lower chance of activating stem cells necessary for hair growth, leading to progressive hair loss.
research “Arrow” sign: A rapid microscopic diagnosis of hair change associated with epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors
A new method quickly detects hair changes from EGFR inhibitors using a microscope.
research An N-Ethyl-N-Nitrosourea Induced Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone Promoter Mutation Provides a Mouse Model for Endogenous Glucocorticoid Excess
Researchers created a mouse model for Cushing's syndrome to study glucocorticoid excess and potential treatments.
research Hairless protein of Jumonji family and hair loss
Mutations in the hairless protein gene cause hair loss.
research Gene-Environment Interaction Between CYP1B1 and Oral Contraception on Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia
Oral contraceptive use may increase the risk of frontal fibrosing alopecia in women with a specific CYP1B1 gene variant.
research Matriptase-2, A Novel Suppressor of Hepcidin.
Matriptase-2 helps control iron levels by suppressing hepcidin, and its deficiency can cause iron-deficiency anemia.
research The VEGF +405 G>C 5' untranslated region polymorphism and risk of PCOS: a study in the South Indian Women
The VEGF +405G allele may increase the risk of PCOS in South Indian women.
research 5α-Reductase type 2 gene variant associations with prostate cancer risk, circulating hormone levels and androgenetic alopecia
A49T gene variant linked to higher prostate cancer risk, lower hormone levels, and slightly reduced balding risk.
research Mice with a null mutation of the TGFα gene have abnormal skin architecture, wavy hair, and curly whiskers and often develop corneal inflammation
TGFα gene mutation in mice causes abnormal skin, wavy hair, curly whiskers, and sometimes eye inflammation.
research Deficient Plakophilin-1 Expression Due to a Mutation in PKP1 Causes Ectodermal Dysplasia-Skin Fragility Syndrome in Chesapeake Bay Retriever Dogs
A PKP1 gene mutation causes skin fragility and hair loss in Chesapeake Bay retriever puppies.
research Clinical Snippets
Melanoma risk tools need improvement, a gene mutation causes a hair disorder that might be treated by managing cell stress, a potential therapy for a skin-ear disorder involves blocking cell channels, skin wrinkling may indicate lung aging regardless of smoking, and oxidative stress might contribute to common baldness.
