research A position effect on TRPS1 is associated with Ambras syndrome in humans and the Koala phenotype in mice
A position effect on the TRPS1 gene causes excessive hair growth in humans and mice.
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.
research GLI2-specific Transcriptional Activation of the Bone Morphogenetic Protein/Activin Antagonist Follistatin in Human Epidermal Cells
GLI2 increases follistatin production in human skin cells.
research Xenobiotica-metabolizing enzymes in the skin of rat, mouse, pig, guinea pig, man, and in human skin models
Different species and human skin models vary in their skin enzyme activities, with pig skin and some models closely matching human skin, useful for safety assessments and understanding the skin's protective roles.
research Characterization and Chromosomal Localization of Human Hair-Specific Keratin Genes and Comparative Expression During the Hair Growth Cycle
Two specific hair keratin genes are active during hair growth and decline as hair transitions to rest.
research Reconstructed human skin shows epidermal invagination towards integrated neopapillae indicating early hair follicle formation in vitro
The experiment showed that human skin grown in the lab started to form early hair structures when special cell clusters were added.
research Activation of the Human Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid Subtype 1 by Essential Oils
Certain essential oils can activate a human skin receptor, potentially helping with skin disorders.
research iNKT cells ameliorate human autoimmunity: Lessons from alopecia areata
iNKT cells can help prevent and treat alopecia areata by promoting hair regrowth.
research Transcriptomic analysis of human skin wound healing and rejuvenation following ablative fractional laser treatment
Ablative fractional laser treatment rejuvenates skin by altering gene expression and promoting wound healing and tissue regeneration.
research Characterization of Novel Cutaneous Human Papillomavirus Genotypes HPV-150 and HPV-151
HPV-150 and HPV-151 are rare skin viruses linked to warts and some skin cancers.
research Phenolsulphotransferase: localization in kidney during human embryonic and fetal development
The enzyme PST is found in developing human kidneys and helps with detoxification and development.
research Estimation methods for human circadian phase by use of peripheral tissues
New method uses hair follicle cells to estimate human body clock phase, potentially improving sleep disorder diagnosis.
research Towards expansion of human hair follicle stem cells in vitro
Scientists can grow human hair follicle stem cells in a lab without changing their nature, which could help treat hair loss.
research Self-Assembly of Solubilized Human Hair Keratins
Human hair keratins can form stable nanofiber networks that might help in tissue regeneration.
research Epigallocatechin-3-gallate inhibits paclitaxel-induced apoptosis through the alteration of microRNA expression in human dermal papilla cells
Green tea extract helps prevent cell death and supports cell survival in hair cells exposed to a chemotherapy drug.
research Expression of type 1 5α-reductase and metabolism of testosterone in reconstructed human epidermis (SkinEthic®): a new model for screening skin-targeted androgen modulators
The study created a new method to test drugs that affect hormone processing in skin.
research 033 IL-15 is an unexpected guardian of hair follicle immune privilege and promotes human hair growth ex vivo
IL-15 helps protect hair follicles from immune attacks and encourages hair growth.
research Modelling androgen synthesis and action during human sexual differentiation
Male sexual differentiation is regulated independently, while female differentiation occurs in an androgenic environment, affecting conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
research Human skin stem cells and the ageing process
Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.
research Direct conversion of mouse and human fibroblasts to functional melanocytes by defined factors
Fibroblasts can be turned into melanocytes for potential skin treatments.
research Sulphation catalysed by the human cytosolic sulphotransferases - chemical defence or molecular terrorism?
Human enzymes can detoxify harmful substances but might also increase their cancer risk.
research Noninvasive method for assessing the human circadian clock using hair follicle cells
Scientists found a new, less invasive way to study body clocks using hair cells, which shows shift workers' body clocks don't match their lifestyles.
research The Proximal Promoter of the Human Transglutaminase 3 Gene
The TGM3 gene's promoter region is key for skin and hair cell function and may aid gene therapy.
research Human hair follicles contain two forms of ATP‐ sensitive potassium channels, only one of which is sensitive to minoxidil
One minoxidil-sensitive potassium channel exists in human hair follicles.
research A Novel Point Mutation in the Ligand-Binding Domain (LBD) of the Human Glucocorticoid Receptor (hGR) Causing Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance: The Importance of the C Terminus of hGR LBD in Conferring Transactivational Activity
A new mutation in the human glucocorticoid receptor reduces its function and causes resistance to glucocorticoids.
research Studies on the Proteome of Human Hair - Identification of Histones and Deamidated Keratins
Human hair contains diverse proteins, including keratins and histones, which could help assess hair health and aging.
