Research
930-960 / 1000+ results research Epidermal growth factor promotes proliferation of dermal papilla cells via Notch signaling pathway
A substance called epidermal growth factor helps increase the growth of important hair follicle cells by activating a specific cell communication route.
research p53‐dependent transcriptional regulation of EDA2R and its involvement in chemotherapy‐induced hair loss
The study concludes that the EDA2R gene is activated by p53 during chemotherapy but is not necessary for chemotherapy-induced hair loss.
research Cutaneous toxicities of new treatments for melanoma
New melanoma treatments can cause skin side effects, including skin cancer and rashes, but combining treatments may reduce these risks.
research Supplementary Methods, Tables 1-2 and Figures from Tumor Stroma–Derived Wnt5a Induces Differentiation of Basal Cell Carcinoma of <i>Ptch</i>-Mutant Mice via CaMKII
research Localization of Epidermal Growth Factor Immunoreactivity in Sheep Skin During Wool Follicle Development
research Transient activation of β-catenin signalling in adult mouse epidermis is sufficient to induce new hair follicles but continuous activation is required to maintain hair follicle tumours
Temporary activation of β-catenin can create new hair follicles, but ongoing activation is needed to keep hair follicle tumors.
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.
research FilaggrinHigh melanomas exhibit active FGFR and allergic signatures with impaired GNA14 and Th1 signatures
FilaggrinHigh melanomas have active FGFR signaling and weak GNA14 and Th1 signatures.
research Epidermal growth factor induced apoptosis in the outer root sheath cells of anagen hair and changed the hair cycle to the catagen phase
Epidermal growth factor causes hair loss by triggering cell death and changing the hair cycle.
research GLI2-specific Transcriptional Activation of the Bone Morphogenetic Protein/Activin Antagonist Follistatin in Human Epidermal Cells
GLI2 increases follistatin production in human skin cells.
research Molecular genetics of androgen insensitivity
Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause different levels of androgen insensitivity, making it hard to create simple tests for the condition.
research Single-cell analysis of basal cell carcinoma reveals heat shock proteins promote tumor growth in response to WNT5A-mediated inflammatory signals
Heat shock proteins help basal cell carcinoma grow by responding to inflammation signals.
research Protein Kinase C δ Overexpressing Transgenic Mice Are Resistant to Chemically but not to UV Radiation–Induced Development of Squamous Cell Carcinomas: A Possible Link to Specific Cytokines and Cyclooxygenase-2
Mice with extra PKCδ resist chemical-induced skin cancer but not UV-induced.
research Constitutive Stat3 activation alters behavior of hair follicle stem and progenitor cell populations
Increased Stat3 activity reduces hair follicle stem cells and boosts other stem/progenitor cells.
research Adverse cutaneous reactions to the new second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (dasatinib, nilotinib) in chronic myeloid leukemia
Many patients on new leukemia drugs had mild to moderate skin reactions.
research Molecular Conversations and the Development of the Hair Follicle and Basal Cell Carcinoma
Overactive signaling in hair follicles can lead to skin cancer.
research 876 Manipulation of stem cell divisional behavior: Selectively promoting asymmetric and symmetric keratinocyte divisions in vitro
Scientists can control how skin stem cells divide by using different treatments.
research Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors – A Review on Pharmacology, Metabolism and Side Effects
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors effectively treat cancers but often cause skin and other side effects.
research A Novel Androgen Receptor Gene Mutation in a 46,XY Patient: Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome
A new gene mutation causes complete androgen insensitivity in a 16-year-old with a female appearance.
research 85 Primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma spans yet unrecognised subtypes including polyclonal reactions
research Decision letter: Smad4 restricts differentiation to promote expansion of satellite cell derived progenitors during skeletal muscle regeneration
Smad4 is crucial for muscle repair, especially in aging, by promoting cell growth over differentiation.
research Lower prostate cancer risk in Swedish men with the androgen receptor E213 A-allele
Swedish men with the E213 A-allele of the androgen receptor have a lower risk of prostate cancer.
research DYS459, DYS391, DYS388 and DYS19 genetic loci have high allelic frequency in patients with prostate cancer
Certain genetic markers may increase or decrease prostate cancer risk.
research One Transgene: Two Outcomes
Modified β-catenin causes different effects in hair and skin cells, leading to cysts or tumors.
research Multiple endocrine defects in adult-onset Sprouty1/2/4 triple knockout mice
Removing Sprouty genes in mice causes various hormone-related issues but does not increase cancer risk by one year of age.
research Alisertib is active as single agent in recurrent atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumors in 4 children
Alisertib was found to be an effective and tolerable treatment for children with recurrent brain tumors.
research BH02 Overcoming genetic drivers in alopecia areata: hair regrowth in a patient with the AIRE gene mutation treated with ruxolitinib
Ruxolitinib helped a woman with a genetic mutation regrow her hair and improved her health.
research Motoneuron-Specific PTEN Deletion in Mice Induces Neuronal Hypertrophy and Also Regeneration after Facial Nerve Injury
Deleting the PTEN gene in mice causes nerve cells to grow larger and heal better after injury, but may cause overgrowth and hair loss in older mice.
research Molecular Genetics of Inherited Disorders of Epidermal Keratins
