research The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Evolutionary Paradox: a Genome-Wide Association Studies–Based, in silico, Evolutionary Explanation
The research suggests that the global distribution of PCOS is likely due to historical human migration and that genes affecting PCOS may have different impacts on males and females.
research Unraveling Evolutionary Insights into AVT Peptide Conservation and Antimicrobial Motif Prediction Across Taxa
AVT is highly conserved and may have antimicrobial properties.
research Beard transplants and facial hair trends: why men are motivated to have surgery
Men are getting more beard transplants to look better and follow fashion trends.
research Seasonality,.Climatic.Unpredictability,.Food. Deprivation,.and.Polycystic.Ovary.Syndrome
PCOS may have evolved as an advantage in past environments with food scarcity.
research The evolutionary impact of androgen levels on prostate cancer in a multi-scale mathematical model
Low androgen levels might delay prostate cancer but could lead to more aggressive, therapy-resistant cancers.
research Developmental and evolutionary comparative analysis of a regulatory landscape in mouse and chicken
Gene regulation evolved differently in mouse and chicken skin, but remained stable in their trunks.
research Characterization of hairless (Hr) and FGF5genes provides insights into the molecular basis of hair loss in cetaceans
Cetaceans lost hair due to changes in the Hr and FGF5 genes.
research The Complexity of the Ovine and Caprine Keratin-Associated Protein Genes
Sheep and goat hair fibers are complex due to keratin-associated proteins, which are important for fiber properties and growth.
research Chapter 6. Darwinian Health and Other Contradictions
The document concludes that understanding health requires considering evolutionary perspectives on reproductive fitness, and recognizing the complexity of factors like diet, testosterone, and sexual orientation.
research Is polycystic ovary syndrome a sexual conflict? A review
The conclusion suggests that PCOS may persist due to genetic traits that, while harmful for female fertility, could have provided survival and reproductive benefits to males.
research Ancient lineages of the keratin-associated protein (KRTAP) genes and their co- option in the evolution of the hair follicle
Keratin-associated proteins have ancient origins and were used for different purposes before being adapted for hair in mammals.
research De Novo Design of Anti-Aging Peptides
New peptides can delay aging and improve cell function.
research Genetic Variation at the MC1R Locus and the Time since Loss of Human Body Hair
Humans lost body hair relatively recently in evolution.
research Comparative regenerative mechanisms across different mammalian tissues
Understanding different species' regeneration can improve mammalian healing.
research Tracing the cellular origin of cancer
Understanding where cancer cells come from helps create better prevention and treatment methods.
research Sequence-structure based phylogeny of GPCR Class A Rhodopsin receptors
The research found how GPCR Class A Rhodopsin receptors are related and suggested possible substances they interact with.
research Altered polyamine profiling in the hair of patients with androgenic alopecia and alopecia areata
The conclusion is that balancing cost and carbon emissions in hybrid power systems is crucial, especially when high reliability is needed, but the model needs to consider all device efficiencies and distribution losses.
research Molecular evolution of HR, a gene that regulates the postnatal cycle of the hair follicle
Changes in the HR gene have influenced hair growth and may lead to hair loss conditions in humans.
research Why were Sardinians the shortest Europeans? A journey through genes, infections, nutrition, and sex
Sardinians were historically short due to a mix of genetics and factors like disease and poor nutrition, but recent height increases suggest better living conditions had a bigger impact.
research Decay of Skin-Specific Gene Modules in Pangolins
Pangolins have lost some skin-related genes, but kept others, leading to their unique scales and skin features.
research Low temperature abolishes human cellular circadian rhythm through Hopf bifurcation
Cold temperatures can stop human cell circadian rhythms, but warming restores them.
research Transcriptional Control of Epidermal Stem Cells
Certain transcription factors are key in controlling skin stem cell behavior and could impact future treatments for skin repair and hair loss.
research Increased rate of hair keratin gene loss in the cetacean lineage
Cetaceans lost hair genes to adapt to water.
research Hair for brain trade-off, a metabolic bypass for encephalization
Human hair loss may have evolved to help increase brain size.
research Mammalian keratin associated proteins (KRTAPs) subgenomes: disentangling hair diversity and adaptation to terrestrial and aquatic environments
Different hair types in mammals are linked to variations in specific protein genes, with changes influenced by their living environments.
research Human scalp hair as a thermoregulatory adaptation
Tightly curled scalp hair helps reduce heat from the sun, protecting against overheating.
research Molecular Evolution and Protein Structure Variation of Dkk Family
Dkk genes evolved faster in birds and reptiles, affecting hair development functions.
research Tabby pattern genetics – a whole new breed of cat
Two genes, Tabby and Ticked, determine cat coat patterns.
