research Disease causing homozygous variants in the human hairless gene
New and known mutations in the hairless gene cause a hair loss condition called Atrichia with papular lesions.
research An incompletely penetrant novel MAFB (p.Ser56Phe) variant in autosomal dominant multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis syndrome
Researchers found a new gene variant linked to a rare bone disease, which doesn't always cause symptoms in carriers.
research KLHL24-Mediated Hair Follicle Stem Cells Structural Disruption Causes Alopecia
A faulty KLHL24 gene leads to hair loss by damaging hair follicle stem cells.
research Lgr5 marks cycling, yet long-lived, hair follicle stem cells
Lgr5 is a marker for active, long-lasting stem cells in mouse hair follicles.
research Effects of steroid hormones on the expression of Ca2+ activated K+ channels in in vitro pituitary cells of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
Steroid hormones may affect sexual maturation in cod by altering certain KCa channel expressions.
research Ovine KRTAP36-2: A New Keratin-Associated Protein Gene Related to Variation in Wool Yield
The KRTAP36-2 gene in sheep affects wool yield.
research 078 The transmembrane protein LRIG1 regulates receptor tyrosine kinases in skin development and homeostasis
LRIG1 protein affects hair growth by regulating skin receptors, leading to hair loss when overexpressed.
research Polymorphisms in the promoter regions of the CXCL1 and CXCL2 genes contribute to increased risk of alopecia areata in the Korean population
Certain gene variations increase the risk of alopecia areata in Koreans.
research A new heterozygous frameshift variant in keratin 10 resulting in ichthyosis hystrix in a father and daughter
A new genetic change in the keratin 10 gene caused a skin condition called ichthyosis hystrix in a father and his daughter.
research Effects of the α-ketoglutaric acid on the performance, hair follicle development and antioxidant capacity of Rex rabbits
α-Ketoglutaric acid improves hair growth, rabbit performance, and antioxidant levels.
research Establishment of SV40T-transformed human dermal papilla cells and identification of dihydrotestosterone-regulated genes by cDNA microarray
Researchers created a cell line to study hair growth and found specific genes affected by dihydrotestosterone.
research Evolution in action: highlighting a role for the Agouti gene in development?
The Agouti gene influences pigmentation and may have a developmental role in deer mice.
research Autosomal recessive monilethrix: Novel variants of the DSG4 gene in three Chinese families
New gene variants linked to a rare inherited hair loss disorder were found in three Chinese families.
research Mutations in the Desmoglein 4 Gene Are Associated with Monilethrix-like Congenital Hypotrichosis
Mutations in the DSG4 gene can cause a rare hair disorder similar to monilethrix.
research 1335 Maintenance of epidermal progenitor function through the mRNA degradation and translation pathways
The protein DDX6 helps keep skin cells renewing properly by controlling the production of certain other proteins and breaking down those that cause cells to mature too quickly.
research Expression pattern of human hair keratin basic 1 (hHbl) in hair follicle and pilomatricoma
hHbl gene is active in hair shaft cells and some pilomatricomas.
research Mitochondrial deoxyguanosine kinase depletion induced ROS causes melanocyte stem cell exhaustion and hair greying
Lack of a certain enzyme causes hair to grey early by damaging stem cells, but an antioxidant can help prevent this.
