990-1000 / 1000+ results research Linkage of Monilethrix to the Trichocyte and Epithelial Keratin Gene Cluster on 12q11-q13
research A preliminary study of differentially expressed genes in expanded skin and normal skin: implications for adult skin regeneration
The study found that expanded skin regenerates similarly to normal skin, with 77 genes playing a role in the process.
research Editor's evaluation: Complementary evolution of coding and noncoding sequence underlies mammalian hairlessness
Hairlessness in mammals is due to complex genetic changes in both genes and regulatory regions.
research Molecular Cloning of 5′ Flanking Region of Ovine Keratin Associated Protein 6-1 Gene and Comparison of the Sequences
The research helps in creating genetically modified animals to study hair growth.
research Cyclic hair-loss and regrowth in transgenic mice overexpressing an intermediate filament gene.
Mice with extra sheep genes had hair that fell out and regrew in cycles.
research Characterization and Chromosomal Localization of Human Hair-Specific Keratin Genes and Comparative Expression During the Hair Growth Cycle
Two specific hair keratin genes are active during hair growth and decline as hair transitions to rest.
