A new gene location for Keratosis follicularis squamosa was found on chromosome 7p14.3-7p12.1.
research PBX homeobox 1 enhances hair follicle mesenchymal stem cell proliferation and reprogramming through activation of the AKT/glycogen synthase kinase signaling pathway and suppression of apoptosis
PBX1 helps hair stem cells grow and change by turning on certain cell signals and preventing cell death, which may be useful for hair regrowth treatments.
research Crosslinking Between Trichocyte Keratins and Keratin Associated Proteins
research Marie Unna Hereditary Hypotrichosis Gene Maps to Human Chromosome 8p21 Near Hairless
The gene for Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis is located on chromosome 8p21, near the hairless gene.
research 576 A preliminary study of melanogenic markers in the differentiation of the human hair follicle melanin unit
The study found markers indicating that cells responsible for hair color are differentiating in specific areas of the hair follicle.
research A two-phase model of skin epidermal stratification: lessons from centrosomes
Removing centrosomes from skin cells leads to thinner skin and stops hair growth, but does not greatly affect skin cell differentiation.
research Regulatory mutations in TBX3 disrupt asymmetric hair pigmentation that underlies Dun camouflage color in horses
Mutations in TBX3 cause horses to have more even hair color instead of Dun camouflage.
research Epidermal growth factor receptor/mitogen-activated kinase inhibitor treatment induces a distinct inflammatory hair follicle response that includes collapse of immune privilege
EGFRi/MEKi treatments cause hair follicles to lose some immune protection, leading to inflammation.
research Immunolocalization of a Histidine-Rich Epidermal Differentiation Protein in the Chicken Supports the Hypothesis of an Evolutionary Developmental Link between the Embryonic Subperiderm and Feather Barbs and Barbules
A specific protein in chicken embryos links early skin layers to feather development.
research 671 The adenosine-generating ecto-enzyme, CD73, functions as an intrafollicular regulator of human hair growth
CD73 may regulate hair growth and could be targeted for hair growth treatments.
research MicroRNA-149-Mediated MAPK1/ERK2 Suppression Attenuates Hair Follicle Stem Cell Differentiation
Increasing miR-149 reduces hair follicle stem cell growth and hair development by affecting certain cell growth pathways.
research [An immunohistochemical study on the normal human skin using an anti-hair keratin monoclonal antibody (HKN-2)].
research LB1671 Large-scale skin scRNA-seq profiling highlights distinct body site-specific ligand-receptor interactions and pathways in keratinocytes
Different body areas have unique skin cell communication patterns, explaining why certain skin diseases occur in specific regions.
research Direct cellular reprogramming enables development of viral T antigen–driven Merkel cell carcinoma in mice
Scientists made a mouse model of a serious skin cancer by changing skin cells with a virus and a specific gene, which is similar to the disease in humans.
research Medium-molecular weight hyaluronic acid orchestrates hair follicle regeneration via CD44/AKT-driven endogenous ROS activation of β-catenin
research Detection of Bim and Puma in mouse hair follicles using immunofluorescence and TUNEL assay double staining
Bim and Puma proteins are found in developing mouse hair follicles and are involved in more than just cell death.
research Induction of dark keratinocytes by 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate and mezerein as an indicator of tumor-promoting efficiency
TPA is about 50 times more effective at promoting tumors than MZ.
research miR‐200a‐3p in Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell‐Derived Exosomes Attenuates UVB‐Induced Skin Inflammatory Response and Oxidative Stress via Keap1‐Nrf2 Pathway
Exosomes from stem cells can reduce UV-induced skin damage by lowering inflammation and oxidative stress.
research Association of methionine synthase gene polymorphisms with wool production and quality traits in Chinese Merino population12
The MTR gene affects wool quality and production in Chinese Merino sheep.
