The method quickly analyzes hair growth genes and shows that blocking Smo in skin cells stops hair growth.
research Mimicking Hair Disorders by Genetic Manipulation of Organ-Cultured Human Hair Follicles
Scientists can mimic hair disorders by altering genes in lab-grown human hair follicles, but these follicles lack some features of natural ones.
research Cue masking and cultural signals: Testing context-specific preferences for bald(ing) leaders
Baldness and shaved heads change how traits are seen but don't really affect leader preferences.
research Potential genetic associations of acne scar phenotypes: IL1A in fibrotic scarring and CYB5R1 in atrophic scarring
CYB5R1 and IL1A genes may be linked to different types of acne scars.
research Abstracts from the 55th European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) Conference: Oral Presentations

Hormones and genes affect hair growth and male baldness.
research At the dawn of hair research – testing the limits of hair follicle regeneration
Hair follicle regeneration is possible but challenging, especially in humans, due to the need for specific cells and a better understanding of how they signal growth.
research Genome-based analysis of the genetic pattern of black sheep in Qira sheep
Black wool in Qira sheep is linked to specific gene mutations, especially in the TYRP1 gene.
research Clonal expansion from standing genetic variation underpins the evolution of an emerging plant pathogen in Australia
The plant pathogen in Australia evolves through existing genetic variation, not new genotypes.
research Transcriptome analysis reveals the genetic basis underlying the development of skin appendages and immunity in hedgehog (Atelerix albiventris)
Genes related to keratin, skin cell differentiation, and immune functions are key in hedgehog skin and spine development.
research Unlocking the genetic secrets of Dorper sheep: insights into wool shedding and hair follicle development
Dorper sheep's wool shedding is linked to specific genes and pathways, which may help understand human hair growth.
research Clinical and molecular genetic studies in hereditary hair loss
Researchers found a genetic link for hereditary hair loss but need more analysis to identify the exact gene.
research Transcriptome analysis reveals the genetic basis underlying the development of skin appendages and immunity in hedgehog (Atelerix albiventris)
The study found that certain genes are important for hedgehog skin appendage development and immunity, with spines possibly evolving for protection and infection resistance.
research 314 Molecular genetic dissection of ILVEN leads to successful targeted therapy
Targeted therapy with Ustekinumab significantly improved a skin condition called ILVEN, which is caused by mutations in the CARD14 gene.
research Boundary Conditions Cause Different Generic Bifurcation Structures in Turing Systems
Boundary conditions change how patterns form in Turing systems.
research Evaluation of Female Fertility—AMH and Ovarian Reserve Testing
AMH helps estimate ovarian reserve but doesn't predict pregnancy chances; age is more important.
