Research
240-270 / 1000+ resultsresearch Conversion of C57Bl/6 mice from a tumor promotion–resistant to a –sensitive phenotype by enhanced ornithine decarboxylase expression
Increased ODC expression makes normally tumor-resistant mice more prone to tumor development.
research TCL1 transgenic mouse model as a tool for the study of therapeutic targets and microenvironment in human B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia
The TCL1 transgenic mouse model is useful for understanding human B-cell leukemia and testing new treatments.
research Experimental cutaneous Bacillus anthracis infections in hairless HRS/J mice
Hairless HRS/J mice resist Bacillus anthracis skin infections due to high numbers of immune cells, not because they lack hair follicles.
research The Effect of LhGH on Hair Regeneration in C57BL/6CrN Mouse
LhGH promotes hair growth and prevents hair loss in mice.
research Scd1 ab-Xyk : a new asebia allele characterized by a CCC trinucleotide insertion in exon 5 of the stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 gene in mouse
A new mouse mutation causes skin and hair defects due to a gene change.
research Wound-Induced Hair Neogenesis Model
Careful selection of mice by genetics and age, and controlled housing conditions improve the reliability of hair regrowth in wound healing tests.
research Morphological and functional analysis on M3R mediated sweating in TSC1 k/o mouse
Sox13 is a marker for early hair follicle development but not essential for skin and hair growth.
research Skin wound healing in humans and mice: Challenges in translational research
The document concludes that mouse models are helpful but have limitations for skin wound healing research, and suggests using larger animals and genetically modified mice for better human application.
research Genetic Fate Mapping Using Site-Specific Recombinases
The document concludes that careful design of genetic fate mapping experiments is crucial for accurate cell lineage tracing in mice.
research The ovariectomized mouse simulates the pathophysiology of postmenopausal female pattern hair loss
Ovariectomized mice mimic postmenopausal hair loss, and estradiol helps maintain hair density.
research Overexpression of parathyroid hormone-related protein in the skin of transgenic mice interferes with hair follicle development.
Too much parathyroid hormone-related protein in skin disrupts hair growth in mice.
research 675 Hair loss in hephaestin knockout mice is associated with iron deficiency
Iron deficiency causes hair loss by affecting hair differentiation and cycling.
research Targeted overexpression of parathyroid hormone-related peptide in chondrocytes causes chondrodysplasia and delayed endochondral bone formation.
Overexpression of PTHrP in chondrocytes causes short-limbed dwarfism and delayed bone formation in mice.
research Editor's evaluation: Lhx2 is a progenitor-intrinsic modulator of Sonic Hedgehog signaling during early retinal neurogenesis
Lhx2 is essential for effective Sonic Hedgehog signaling in early retinal development.
research Joint Public Review: Touch receptor end-organ innervation and function require sensory neuron expression of the transcription factor Meis2
Meis2 is essential for touch sensation and nerve function in mice.
research Poly(rC) binding protein 2 acts as a negative regulator of IRES-mediated translation of Hr mRNA
A protein called PCBP2 controls the production of a hair growth protein by interacting with its genetic message and is linked to hair loss when this control is disrupted.
research Basal cell carcinomas in mice arise from hair follicle stem cells and multiple epithelial progenitor populations
Basal cell carcinomas in mice can start from hair follicle stem cells and other skin cell types, depending on signaling levels.
research Alopecia areata: Animal models illuminate autoimmune pathogenesis and novel immunotherapeutic strategies
Animal models have helped understand hair loss from alopecia areata and find new treatments.
