570-600 / 1000+ resultsresearch The Sex-Linked Histocompatibility Antigens
Male-to-female skin grafts in mice are rejected due to sex-linked antigens.
research The Notch Intracellular Domain Has an RBPj-Independent Role during Mouse Hair Follicular Development
The Notch signaling pathway helps in mouse hair development through a noncanonical mechanism that does not rely on RBPj or transcription.
research Downregulation of mRNAs Encoding Keratin-Associated Proteins in the Tongue of Mice Fed a High-Fat Diet
A high-fat diet may weaken tongue structure by reducing certain protein genes.
research 175 Understanding immune privilege in an inducible mouse model of primary cicatrcial alopecia
The study found that a key immune pathway protecting hair follicles is reduced in a mouse model of scarring hair loss.
research Whn and mHa3 are components of the genetic hierarchy controlling hair follicle differentiation
Whn is crucial for hair growth in certain areas by controlling a specific gene.
research Hair follicle dystrophy in a litter of domestic cats resembling lanceolate hair mutant mice
A litter of cats had a hair condition similar to a mouse mutation, leading to hair loss and abnormal hair and skin.

research Pax9 is required for filiform papilla development and suppresses skin-specific differentiation of the mammalian tongue epithelium
Pax9 is crucial for proper tongue surface development and preventing skin-like changes.
research Manipulation of stem cell proliferation and lineage commitment:visualisation of label-retaining cells in wholemounts of mouse epidermis
Stem cell behavior varies with stimuli, and lineage changes can happen without affecting stem cell division.
research A Mouse Kindling Model of Perimenstrual Catamenial Epilepsy
Neurosteroids help reduce seizures, but their withdrawal increases seizure activity.
research Progressive Alopecia Reveals Decreasing Stem Cell Activation Probability during Aging of Mice with Epidermal Deletion of DNA Methyltransferase 1
Mice lacking a key DNA methylation enzyme in skin cells have a lower chance of activating stem cells necessary for hair growth, leading to progressive hair loss.
research Normalization of hair growth in sparse fur-abnormal skin and hair (SPF-ASH) mice by introduction of the rat ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) gene
Introducing the rat OTC gene normalized hair growth in SPF-ASH mice.
