research Jagged-1+ Skin Tregs Modulate the Innate Immune Response to Wound Healing
Jagged-1 in skin Tregs is crucial for timely wound healing by recruiting specific immune cells.
research Stabilization of epithelial β-catenin compromises mammary cell fate acquisition and branching morphogenesis
Too much β-catenin activity can mess up the development of mammary glands and make them more like hair follicles.
research An immune regulatory CCT repeat containing oligodeoxynucleotide capable of causing hair loss in male mice
A specific DNA sequence caused hair loss in male mice by activating immune cells and increasing a certain immune signal.
