research Biomedical engineering approaches for the delivery of JAGGED1 as a potential tissue regenerative therapy
JAGGED1 could help regenerate tissues for bone loss and heart damage if delivered correctly.
research Hair Shaft Abnormalities – Clues to Diagnosis and Treatment
Hair problems can be caused by genetics or the environment, and treatment should focus on the cause and reducing hair damage.
research Mechanism of TAp73 inhibition by ΔNp63 and structural basis of p63/p73 hetero-tetramerization
ΔNp63α stops TAp73β from working in skin cancer by blocking its access to specific genes, not by directly interacting with it.
research Integrative analysis of rare copy number variants and gene expression data in alopecia areata implicates an aetiological role for autophagy
The research suggests that autophagy-related genes might play a role in causing alopecia areata.
research Risk of autoimmune diseases in patients with RASopathies: systematic study of humoral and cellular immunity
Patients with RASopathies have a higher risk of autoimmune disorders and should be routinely screened.
research Increased copy number of the TERT and TERC telomerase subunit genes in cancer cells
Cancer cells often have more copies of TERT and TERC genes, which helps them grow and could affect patient outcomes.
research FOXN1 Deficiency: from the Discovery to Novel Therapeutic Approaches
New treatments for immune disorders caused by FOXN1 deficiency are promising.
research Deletion of Deoxyribonucleic Acid Binding Domain of the Vitamin D Receptor Abrogates Genomic and Nongenomic Functions of Vitamin D
Removing part of the vitamin D receptor stops vitamin D from working properly.
research Vitamin D and the skin: Physiology and pathophysiology

research 25 Hydroxyvitamin D 1 α-Hydroxylase Is Required for Optimal Epidermal Differentiation and Permeability Barrier Homeostasis
The enzyme 25 Hydroxyvitamin D 1 α-Hydroxylase is essential for healthy skin and recovery after skin damage.
research Keratin 17 null mice exhibit age- and strain-dependent alopecia
Keratin 17 is crucial for early hair strength and cell survival.
research Significant Correction of Disease after Postnatal Administration of Recombinant Ectodysplasin A in Canine X-Linked Ectodermal Dysplasia
Giving a special protein to dogs with a certain genetic disease improved their symptoms but didn't help with hair growth.
research A PAX1 enhancer locus is associated with susceptibility to idiopathic scoliosis in females
A genetic region near the PAX1 gene is linked to a higher risk of scoliosis in females.
research EMQN best practice guidelines for molecular genetic testing and reporting of 21-hydroxylase deficiency
The guidelines ensure accurate genetic testing and reporting for 21-hydroxylase deficiency.
research Mutant laboratory mice with abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, cycling, and/or structure: annotated tables
Mutant mice help researchers understand hair growth and related genetic factors.
research Liver transplantation for propionic acidemia in children
Liver transplantation is a viable option for children with propionic acidemia, improving quality of life and diet, but does not remove all risks and long-term brain outcomes are uncertain.
research Reversing wrinkled skin and hair loss in mice by restoring mitochondrial function
Restoring mitochondrial function in mice reversed their skin wrinkling and hair loss.
research Replicative stress, stem cells and aging
Maintaining DNA health in stem cells is key to preventing aging and tissue breakdown.
research Targeting Superficial or Nodular Basal Cell Carcinoma with Topically Formulated Small Molecule Inhibitor of Smoothened
The topical inhibitor CUR61414 was not effective in treating basal cell carcinoma in human trials.
research Phenotypic profiling of parents with cryptic nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia: findings in 145 unrelated families
Some parents have a mild form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia without symptoms, and they usually don't need treatment.
research c-MYC-Induced Sebaceous Gland Differentiation Is Controlled by an Androgen Receptor/p53 Axis
The balance between androgen receptor and p53 is crucial for sebaceous gland differentiation.
research Novel skin phenotypes revealed by a genome-wide mouse reverse genetic screen
The research identified new skin traits in mice, some linked to human skin conditions.
research Wnt signaling: the good and the bad
Wnt signaling is important for development and cell regulation but can cause diseases like cancer when not working properly.
