research More than One Gene Involved in Monilethrix: Intracellular but also Extracellular Players
Monilethrix involves multiple genes affecting hair structure, including DSG4 mutations.
research A role for the Tgf-β/Bmp co-receptor Endoglin in the molecular oscillator that regulates the hair follicle cycle
Endoglin is crucial for proper hair growth cycles and stem cell activation in mice.
research A rare pediatric case of loose anagen hair syndrome
Loose anagen hair syndrome in children may improve with age, but treatment results vary.
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 LB1081 Three-dimensional imaging of tight junction-network across multiple layers of human epidermis by array tomography using backscattered electron-mode scanning electron microscopy
The study found that tight junctions reach the top layer of the skin's stratum granulosum, not just the second top layer as previously thought.
