research The Genetics of Human Skin Disease
Genetic research has advanced our understanding of skin diseases, but complex conditions require an integrative approach for deeper insight.
research Analysis of hairless corepressor mutants to characterize molecular cooperation with the vitamin D receptor in promoting the mammalian hair cycle
Certain mutations in the hairless protein disrupt its ability to regulate the hair cycle.
research Consequences of steroid-5α-reductase deficiency and inhibition in vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research Alopecia in Epidermolysis Bullosa
The document suggests that certain protein deficiencies and scalp blistering in Epidermolysis Bullosa may cause hair loss.
research NovelPAX9mutation associated with syndromic tooth agenesis
A new PAX9 gene mutation causes missing teeth and hair problems, but not skin or nail issues.
research The molecular pathogenesis of Trichilemmal carcinoma
Trichilemmal carcinoma shares genetic changes with other skin cancers, suggesting similar causes and potential treatments.
research Histopathology of Hypotrichosis with Juvenile Macular Dystrophy
The research found that a specific gene mutation causes fewer hair follicles and disrupted hair growth cycles, leading to thin and short hair in people with Hypotrichosis with Juvenile Macular Dystrophy.
research Mommy — where do tumors come from?
Some skin tumors may start from hair follicle stem cells.
