A genetic change in the EDAR gene causes the unique hair traits found in East Asians.
research The extract of Thujae occidentalis semen inhibited 5α-reductase and androchronogenetic alopecia of B6CBAF1/j hybrid mouse
Thujae occidentalis semen extract may help treat male pattern baldness by blocking a hair loss-related enzyme and reducing hair loss in mice.
research Developmental genetics of color pattern establishment in cats
Cat color patterns are determined early in development by gene expression and epidermal changes, with the Dickkopf 4 gene playing a crucial role.
research Adenovirus-Mediated Wnt5a Expression Inhibits the Telogen-To-Anagen Transition of Hair Follicles in Mice
Increasing Wnt5a in mice skin delays hair growth but doesn't stop it.
research Wnt5a Suppresses β-catenin Signaling during Hair Follicle Regeneration
Wnt5a slows down hair growth by blocking a specific pathway during hair regeneration.
research Overexpression of Lnk in the Ovaries Is Involved in Insulin Resistance in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Higher Lnk protein levels in ovaries may lead to insulin resistance in women with PCOS.
research Past and Future Strategies for GPCR Deorphanization
Finding functions for unknown GPCRs is hard but key for making new drugs.
research Human type 3 5α-reductase is expressed in peripheral tissues at higher levels than types 1 and 2 and its activity is potently inhibited by finasteride and dutasteride
Type 3 5α-reductase is more common and finasteride and dutasteride strongly inhibit it.
