Rare ULBP3 gene changes may raise the risk of Alopecia areata, a certain FAS gene deletion could cause a dysfunctional protein in an immune disorder, and having one copy of a specific genetic deletion is okay, but two copies cause sickle cell disease.
research Analysis of Gene Expression in Isolated Single Hair Follicles: An Approach Using Semiquantitative Reverse-Transcriptase—Polymerase Chain Reaction
Researchers developed a new way to measure gene activity in single hair follicles and found that a specific gene's activity changes with different amounts and times of treatment.
research A small multigene hydroxyproline-O-galactosyltransferase family functions in arabinogalactan-protein glycosylation, growth and development in Arabidopsis
Three genes in Arabidopsis are important for plant growth and development by affecting sugar attachment to proteins.
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.
