Rare changes in the KRT82 gene are linked to a higher risk of Alopecia Areata.
research Inherited ichthyoses/generalized Mendelian disorders of cornification
Inherited ichthyoses cause widespread skin scaling and thickening due to gene mutations.
research Alopecia in IL-10-deficient mouse pups is c-kit-dependent and can be triggered by iron deficiency
Hair loss in certain young mice is linked to a specific gene and can be caused by lack of iron.
research Metabolic and transcriptomic reprogramming during contact inhibition-induced quiescence is mediated by YAP-dependent and YAP-independent mechanisms
Quiescent cells have increased mitochondrial activity and ECM gene expression, but reduced glycolysis.
research Advances in nanomaterial-mediated CRISPR/Cas delivery: from lipid nanoparticles to vesicle-derived systems
Ionizable lipid nanoparticles are the best for delivering gene-editing therapies.
research Diagnosis of childhood and adolescent growth hormone deficiency using transcriptomic data
Childhood growth hormone deficiency can be accurately diagnosed using gene expression data and random forest analysis.
research Differences in cell subsets between sun-exposed and unexposed skin: preliminary single-cell sequencing and biological analysis from a single case
Sun-exposed skin shows different cell activity and gene expression, suggesting targets to prevent skin aging and cancer.
research Expanding the Nude SCID/CID Phenotype Associated with FOXN1 Homozygous, Compound Heterozygous, or Heterozygous Mutations
FOXN1 mutations can cause varying immune and physical issues, with severity influenced by gene activity and possibly other factors.
research From basal cell carcinoma morphogenesis to the alopecia induced by hedgehog inhibitors: connecting the dots
The article concludes that hair loss is a common side effect of drugs treating skin cancer by blocking the hedgehog pathway, but treatment should continue, and more selective drugs might prevent this side effect.
research The Current Landscape for Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Testing: Legal, Ethical, and Policy Issues
The document concludes that the fast-growing direct-to-consumer genetic testing market lacks sufficient regulation, posing risks to consumers due to questionable test quality and accuracy.
research Psoriasis patients demonstrate HLA-Cw*06:02 allele dosage-dependent T cell proliferation when treated with hair follicle-derived keratin 17 protein
Psoriasis patients' immune response to a hair protein depends on their specific gene type.
research Melatonin Receptors and Their Role in Human Diseases
Melatonin receptors, found in many body parts, can help treat various diseases like depression and diabetes due to their effects on inflammation, tumor progression, sleep disorders, and body mass regulation.
research A curated catalog of canine and equine keratin genes
61 functional keratin genes were identified in dogs and horses, leading to updated gene annotations.
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 Region-specific reversal of epidermal planar polarity in the rosette fancy mouse
Hair follicles in the back of the rosette fancy mouse have reversed orientations due to a gene mutation.
research Consequences of steroid-5α-reductase deficiency and inhibition in vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research Mechanism of action of herbs and their active constituents used in hair loss treatment
Some herbs and their components might help treat hair loss by affecting various biological pathways, but more research and regulation are needed.
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 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.
