Hairless protein can both repress and activate vitamin D receptor functions, affecting gene regulation.
research Ectodysplasin-A2 induces dickkopf 1 expression in human balding dermal papilla cells overexpressing the ectodysplasin A2 receptor
A protein called ectodysplasin-A2 increases a hair growth inhibitor in balding cells, which could be a target for hair loss treatment.
research Epidermal keratinocyte stem cells: their maintenance and regulation
Skin stem cells are maintained by signals from nearby cells and vary in their ability to renew and mature.
research The Rho guanosine nucleotide exchange factors Vav2 and Vav3 modulate epidermal stem cell function
Vav2 and Vav3 proteins help control skin stem cell numbers and activity in both healthy and cancerous cells.
research Androgens modify Wnt agonists/antagonists expression balance in dermal papilla cells preventing hair follicle stem cell differentiation in androgenetic alopecia
Androgens prevent hair growth by changing Wnt signals in cells.
