Local skin glucocorticoid production is crucial for healthy skin, and its disruption can lead to skin diseases.
research Hair Growth Activity of Three Plants of the Polynesian Cosmetopoeia and Their Regulatory Effect on Dermal Papilla Cells
Extracts from three Polynesian plants were found to promote hair growth by affecting cell growth and gene expression related to hair.
research Abstracts
The document reports findings on genetic research, including ethical concerns about genome editing, improved diagnosis of mitochondrial mutations, solving inherited eye diseases, confirming gene roles in epilepsy, linking a gene to aneurysms, and identifying genes associated with age-related macular degeneration.
research Antioxidant enzyme expression of mRNA and protein in the epididymis of finasteride-treated male rat offspring during postnatal development
Finasteride affects offspring's antioxidant enzymes in epididymis, possibly disrupting sperm maturation.
research A simple assay for the study of human hair follicle damage induced by ionizing irradiation
Ionizing radiation damages human hair follicles by stopping cell growth, causing cell death, disrupting color, and increasing stress and damage markers.
research Uncombable hair syndrome and beyond
Uncombable hair syndrome causes frizzy hair and can affect the nervous system, eyes, and ears, often co-occurring with other hair, skin, nail, and teeth conditions, and is linked to three specific gene mutations.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research The Role of BMP7 in the Proliferation of Hu Sheep Dermal Papilla Cells Is Influenced by DNA Methylation
DNA methylation affects BMP7 gene expression, influencing cell growth in Hu sheep.
research Identification of Potential Biomarkers for Diagnosis of Patients with Methamphetamine Use Disorder
Gene expression in hair follicles can help diagnose methamphetamine use disorder.
research Mast cell hyperplasia in the skin of Dsg4-deficient hypotrichosis mice, which are long-living mutants of lupus-prone mice
A gene mutation in mice causes increased mast cells and disorganized hair follicles in their skin.
research How the leopard gets its spots: a transmembrane peptidase specifies feline pigmentation patterns
A gene called Taqpep affects cat coat patterns like stripes and blotches.
research FoxN1 in K14 promoter-driven epithelium is required for generation and maintenance of 3D-thymus medulla and preventing nude phenotype in the skin (36.33)
FoxN1 gene is crucial for proper thymus structure and normal skin appearance.
research Mutations in γ-secretase subunit–encoding PSENEN underlie Dowling-Degos disease associated with acne inversa
PSENEN gene mutations can cause both Dowling-Degos disease and acne inversa.
research Molecular mechanisms of asymmetric divisions in mammary stem cells
Disruptions in mammary stem cell division can lead to cancer, but targeting these processes might help treat breast cancer.
research Position effect on FGF13 associated with X-linked congenital generalized hypertrichosis
FGF13 gene changes cause excessive hair growth in a rare condition.
research Two Different Mutations in the Same Codon of a Type II Hair Keratin (hHb6) in Patients with Monilethrix
Mutations in the hHb6 gene cause the hair disorder monilethrix.
research Alopecia areata susceptibility variant in MHC region impacts expressions of genes contributing to hair keratinization and is involved in hair loss
A gene variant increases the risk of a type of hair loss by affecting hair protein production.
research Transcriptional regulation of the thymus master regulator Foxn1
Foxn1 gene regulation is crucial for thymus development but not for hair growth.
research Profibrotic Molecules Are Reduced in CRISPR-Edited Emery–Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy Fibroblasts
CRISPR gene editing reduces harmful molecules in cells from Emery–Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy patients.
research Transcriptome Sequencing Reveals Differences between Primary and Secondary Hair Follicle-derived Dermal Papilla Cells of the Cashmere Goat (Capra hircus)
Primary and secondary hair follicle cells in Cashmere goats have different gene expressions affecting hair growth and size.
research Abstracts from the 55th European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) Conference: e-Posters
Rare ULBP3 gene changes may raise the risk of Alopecia areata, a certain FAS gene deletion could cause a dysfunctional protein in an immune disorder, and having one copy of a specific genetic deletion is okay, but two copies cause sickle cell disease.
research A Receptor-Like Kinase Mediates Ammonium Homeostasis and Is Important for the Polar Growth of Root Hairs inArabidopsis
The CAP1 gene helps control ammonium levels and is necessary for the proper growth of root hairs in Arabidopsis.
research Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) transactivates Dlx3 through Smad1 and Smad4: alternative mode for Dlx3 induction in mouse keratinocytes
BMP-2 activates the Dlx3 gene in mouse skin cells, important for hair and skin development.
