870-900 / 1000+ resultsresearch In Silico Characterization and Analysis of Clinically Significant Variants of Lipase-H (LIPH Gene) Protein Associated with Hypotrichosis
Three specific mutations in the LIPH gene can cause hair loss by damaging the protein's structure and function.
research Targeting expression of keratinocyte growth factor to keratinocytes elicits striking changes in epithelial differentiation in transgenic mice.
Keratinocyte growth factor significantly alters skin and tissue development.
research Hypotrichosis congenita (KRT71 mutation) in Hereford cattle in Uruguay
A KRT71 mutation in Hereford cattle in Uruguay causes thin, curly hair and scaly skin.
research Modulation of Murine Hair Follicle Function by Alterations in Ornithine Decarboxylase Activity
Ornithine decarboxylase is crucial for hair growth regulation in mice.
research The effects of sonic, desert and Indian hedgehog signalling in skin
Shh and Dhh affect skin development and can cause tumors, while Ihh does not.
research The retarded hair growth ( rhg ) mutation in mice is an allele of ornithine aminotransferase ( Oat )
The rhg mutation in mice affects the Oat gene, causing hair growth issues and other symptoms.
research Alteration of Skin Wound Healing in Keratinocyte-Specific Mediator Complex Subunit 1 Null Mice
MED1 affects skin wound healing differently in young and old mice.
research Specific Inhibition of Hair Follicle Formation by Epidermal Growth Factor in an Organ Culture of Developing Mouse Skin
research News in brief
Scientists found key proteins and genes that affect skin and hair health, and identified potential new treatments for hair loss, skin disorders, and wound healing.
research Heterozygous deletion of the NSDHL gene in an Appenzeller Mountain Dog with verrucous epidermal keratinocytic nevi
A genetic defect in an Appenzeller Mountain Dog caused skin issues, improved with ketoconazole, showing the importance of advanced genetic testing.
research Smad7-Induced β-Catenin Degradation Alters Epidermal Appendage Development
Too much Smad7 changes skin and hair development by breaking down a protein called β-catenin, leading to more oil glands and fewer hair follicles.
research Case of autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis with compound heterozygous mutations in the LIPH gene at c.742C > A and c.614A > G: The first Japanese case
The first Japanese case of a genetic hair disorder caused by specific mutations in the LIPH gene was identified.
research Changes in murine hair with dietary selenium excess or deficiency
Too much or too little selenium in the diet can cause hair loss and graying in mice.
research A keratin 15 containing stem cell population from the hair follicle contributes to squamous papilloma development in the mouse
Keratin 15 cells from hair follicles help develop and maintain skin tumors in mice.
research Clinical Snippets
Vitamin D helps protect skin, PSORS1 gene's risk interval for psoriasis is expanded, hair follicles can be generated from mouse cells, and interferon-γ may cause pigmented skin lesions.
