research Total glucosides of paeony inhibit NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD-mediated inflammation and pyroptosis in C3H/HeJ mice with alopecia areata
Total glucosides of paeony may help treat alopecia areata by reducing inflammation and hair loss.
research Activity evaluation of epidermo-melanin unit and dermal damage in melasma
Melasma results from changes in the skin's pigment and structure, not just pigment cell growth.
research Hoxc13 polyglycine repeat gain-of-function drives mammalian integument evolution by altering targeted genes and interactions
The polyG fragment in Hoxc13 protein helps evolve mammalian skin and hair by enhancing gene interactions.
research Beyond the Epidermal-Melanin-Unit: The Human Scalp Anagen Hair Bulb Is Home to Multiple Melanocyte Subpopulations of Variable Melanogenic Capacity
The human scalp hair bulb contains different types of melanocytes with varying abilities to produce melanin.

A Chinese man with KID syndrome had a new mutation in the GJB2 gene.
research Tenascin expression in normal human adult skin and skin appendage tumours
Tenascin is present in normal skin and certain skin tumors but not in sebaceous glands or their tumors.
research Antitumor Activities of the Typhonium flagelliforme Extract Combined with Natural Interferons of Canine and Feline in Mice with DMBA Induced Skin Tumors
The combination of Typhonium flagelliforme extract and natural interferons effectively reduces tumor growth in mice.
research T Cell Immunodeficiency, Congenital Alopecia, and Nail Dystrophy
A rare genetic mutation causes severe immune issues, hair loss, and nail problems.

research The role of Pygo2 during intestinal tumor initiation and progression in vivo
Pygo2 is important for early growth and progression of intestinal tumors, and could be a target for treating cancers with certain mutations.
research The Near-Naked Hairless (Hr) Mutation Disrupts Hair Formation but Is Not Due to a Mutation in the Hairless Coding Region
The near-naked hairless mutation causes hair loss but is not due to a mutation in the hairless gene itself.
research An ultrahigh-sulphur keratin gene of the human hair cuticle is located at 11q13 and cross-hybridizes with sequences at 11p15
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Fgf9 from dermal γδ T cells induces hair follicle neogenesis after wounding.
A substance called FGF9 from certain immune cells can trigger new hair growth during wound healing in mice, but humans may not have the same response due to fewer of these cells.
research Congenital atrichia with papular lesions resulting from novel mutations in human hairless gene in four consanguineous families
Mutations in the hairless gene cause a rare form of permanent hair loss.
research Disruption of anthrax toxin receptor 1 in pigs leads to a rare disease phenotype and protection from senecavirus A infection
