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 Stabilization of β-catenin promotes melanocyte specification at the expense of the Schwann cell lineage
Activating β-catenin increases melanocytes and decreases Schwann cells.
research The Rho GTPase exchange factor Vav2 promotes extensive age-dependent rewiring of the hair follicle stem cell transcriptome
Vav2 changes how hair follicle stem cells' genes work as they age, which might improve regeneration but also raise cancer risk.
research Clinical Snippets
Some cells may slow melanoma growth, a protein could affect skin pigmentation, a gene-silencing method might treat hair defects, skin bacteria changes likely result from eczema, and a defensin protein could help treat multiple sclerosis.
research Ectodysplasin research—Where to next?
Future research on ectodysplasin should explore its role in diseases, stem cells, and evolution, and continue developing treatments for genetic disorders like hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
research Biochemistry of epidermal stem cells
The review found that different stem cell types in the skin are crucial for repair and could help treat skin diseases and cancer.
research Stepwise acquisition of unique epigenetic signatures during differentiation of tissue Treg cells
Tissue environment greatly affects the unique epigenetic makeup of regulatory T cells, which could impact autoimmune disease treatment.
research Omenn syndrome in a 10-month-old male with athymia and VACTERL association
A 10-month-old boy with a rare combination of genetic conditions has severe immune deficiency and treatment challenges.
research A frameshift insertion in SGK3 leads to recessive hairlessness in Scottish Deerhounds: a candidate gene for human alopecia conditions
A genetic mutation in the SGK3 gene causes hairlessness in Scottish Deerhounds and may relate to human hair loss.
research Mice Engrafted with Human Fetal Thymic Tissue and Hematopoietic Stem Cells Develop Pathology Resembling Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease
Mice with human fetal thymic tissue and stem cells developed symptoms similar to chronic graft-versus-host disease.

research Immune-Molecular Link between Thyroid and Skin Autoimmune Diseases: A Narrative Review
Thyroid and skin autoimmune diseases share genetic and immune links, affecting both tissues.
research Current Progress Regarding Cordyceps militaris, Its Metabolite Function, and Its Production
Cordyceps militaris is a promising, cost-effective medicinal fungus with health benefits and efficient production methods.
research A kindred with mutant IKAROS and autoimmunity
A mutation in the IKZF1 gene causes immune system overactivity, linked to autoimmune diseases like lupus.
research Melanoma: Genetic Abnormalities, Tumor Progression, Clonal Evolution and Tumor Initiating Cells
Melanoma's complexity requires personalized treatments due to key genetic mutations and tumor-initiating cells.
research Pvalb8, a Type of Oncomodulin, Regulates Neuromast Development and Auditory Function in Zebrafish
Pvalb8 is essential for zebrafish hearing and hair cell development, and its mutation causes hearing loss.
research Immune deficiency–related enteropathy-lymphocytopenia-alopecia syndrome results from tetratricopeptide repeat domain 7A deficiency
A deficiency in the TTC7A gene causes immune problems, gut issues, and hair loss.
research FOXN1: A Master Regulator Gene of Thymic Epithelial Development Program
