Hsa-miR-193a-5p is important in alopecia areata by promoting inflammation and involving specific genes in hair and immune function.
research Chi-miR-30b-5p inhibits dermal papilla cells proliferation by targeting CaMKIIδ gene in cashmere goat
A specific microRNA, chi-miR-30b-5p, slows down the growth of hair-related cells by affecting the CaMKIIδ gene in cashmere goats.
research Increased PHGDH expression promotes aberrant melanin accumulation
Higher PHGDH levels cause unusual melanin buildup in hair follicles.
research BMI1 is required for melanocyte stem cell maintenance and hair pigmentation
BMI1 is essential for preventing hair greying and maintaining hair color.
research Characterization of the Human Hair Shaft Cuticle–Specific Keratin-Associated Protein 10 Family
KRTAP10 proteins help form the hair shaft's tough outer layer by interacting with specific hair keratins.
research A Mouse Model for the Basal Transcription/DNA Repair Syndrome Trichothiodystrophy
Researchers created a mouse with the same mutation as humans with trichothiodystrophy, showing similar symptoms and confirming the condition is due to defects in DNA repair and gene activity.
research MEX3A regulates Lgr5 + stem cell maintenance in the developing intestinal epithelium
MEX3A is crucial for maintaining intestinal stem cells in mice.
research Improved two‐dimensional electrophoretic mapping of Japanese human hair proteins; application to curved and straight Japanese human hairs; and protein identification by MALDI MS and MS/MS quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry
The study found that minor protein differences between curved and straight Japanese hair are unlikely to significantly affect hair structure.
research Exosome‐derived long non‐coding RNA AC010789.1 modified by FTO and hnRNPA2B1 accelerates growth of hair follicle stem cells against androgen alopecia by activating S100A8/Wnt/β‐catenin signalling
A specific RNA can help hair growth in baldness by boosting stem cell activity.
research Comparative regenerative mechanisms across different mammalian tissues
Understanding different species' regeneration can improve mammalian healing.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Stretching the limits: from homeostasis to stem cell plasticity in wound healing and cancer
Stem cell plasticity is crucial for wound healing but can also contribute to cancer development.
research Stem cells in tissues, organoids, and cancers
Stem cells are crucial for tissue growth, cancer treatment, and disease modeling, but challenges remain in clinical use.
research Emerging nonmetabolic functions of skin fat
Skin fat has important roles in hair growth, skin repair, immune defense, and aging, and could be targeted for skin and hair treatments.
research Lamins in development, tissue maintenance and stress
Lamins are vital for cell survival, organ development, and preventing premature aging.
research The biology of hair diversity
Hair diversity is influenced by complex genetics and environmental factors, requiring more research for practical solutions.
research Oncogenic senescence: a multi-functional perspective
Cellular senescence has both cancer-blocking and cancer-promoting effects, and targeting senescent cells may improve health and lifespan.
research Immunological aspects and gender bias during respiratory viral infections including novel Coronavirus disease‐19 (COVID‐19): A scoping review
Men are more likely to have severe respiratory viral infections like COVID-19 due to hormonal and genetic differences, while women generally have stronger immune responses.
research Immunosenescence and inflammaging in Parkinson’s disease: mechanisms and therapeutic prospects
Age-related immune changes worsen Parkinson's disease, suggesting new treatment strategies.
research Ca 2+ -mediated protein citrullination regulates proliferation in the regenerating and malignant CNS
Ca²⁺-mediated protein citrullination controls cell growth in the CNS and may help treat brain tumors.
