research Regulation of Receptor Binding Specificity of FGF9 by an Autoinhibitory Homodimerization
FGF9 controls which receptors it binds to through a process where two FGF9 molecules join, and changes in FGF9 can lead to incorrect receptor activation.
research A novel nonsense mutation in the STS gene in a Pakistani family with X-linked recessive ichthyosis: including a very rare case of two homozygous female patients
A new mutation in the STS gene causes X-linked ichthyosis, even in rare female cases.
research Impaired LEF1 Activation Accelerates iPSC-Derived Keratinocytes Differentiation in Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome
Faulty LEF1 activation causes faster skin cell differentiation in premature aging syndrome.
research Hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy
A rare genetic disease causes sparse hair and early blindness due to a gene mutation.
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 A Novel Mouse Type I Intermediate Filament Gene, Keratin 17n (K17n), Exhibits Preferred Expression in Nail Tissue
A new mouse gene, Keratin 17n, is mainly found in nail tissue and may explain why mice without Keratin 17 don't have nail issues.
research Cyclic hair-loss and regrowth in transgenic mice overexpressing an intermediate filament gene.
Mice with extra sheep genes had hair that fell out and regrew in cycles.
research Twins with psychiatric features and a nonsense HRAS variant affecting transcript processing
A new HRAS gene variant may cause a range of symptoms including intellectual disability and psychiatric issues.
research Autosomal Recessive Woolly Hair Caused by LIPH Mutations: A Case Series of Six Chinese Patients
LIPH mutations cause woolly hair in some Chinese people.
research Delayed-onset pachyonychia congenita caused by a novel mutation in the V2 domain of keratin 6b
A new mutation in the K6b gene caused a girl's late-appearing nail condition.
research Impaired Keratinocyte Proliferative and Clonogenic Potential in Transgenic Mice Overexpressing 14-3-3σ in the Epidermis
Overexpressing 14-3-3σ in mice skin reduces cell growth and hair density.
research Atypical Protein Kinase C Isoform, aPKCλ, Is Essential for Maintaining Hair Follicle Stem Cell Quiescence
aPKCλ is crucial for keeping hair follicle stem cells inactive and maintaining normal hair growth.
research Rac1 Is Crucial for Hair Follicle Integrity but Is Not Essential for Maintenance of the Epidermis
Rac1 is vital for hair follicle health but not needed for skin maintenance.
research Hairless Up‐Regulates Tgf‐β2 Expression via Down‐Regulation of miR‐31 in the Skin of “Hairpoor” (HrHp) Mice
HR protein causes abnormal hair cycles by increasing Tgf-β2 and reducing miR-31.
research RSPO1-mutated keratinocytes from palmoplantar keratoderma display impaired differentiation, alteration of cell–cell adhesion, EMT-like phenotype and invasiveness properties: implications for squamous cell carcinoma susceptibility in patients with 46XX disorder of sexual development
RSPO1 mutations in certain patients lead to skin cells that don't develop properly and are more likely to become invasive, increasing the risk of skin cancer.
research The role of vitamin D receptor mutations in the development of alopecia
Vitamin D receptor mutations can cause alopecia by affecting hair growth genes.
research Apoptotic dysregulation mediates stem cell competition and tissue regeneration
Cells lacking the Bax protein can outcompete others, leading to better tissue repair and hair growth.
research Expression of a truncated form of hHb1 hair keratin in human breast carcinomas
Truncated hHb1 keratin may play a role in breast cancer cell transformation.
research Hairless Suppresses Vitamin D Receptor Transactivation in Human Keratinocytes
Hairless protein can block vitamin D activation in skin cells.
research Congenital Hypotrichosis in Japanese White Strain (JW-NIBS) Rabbits.
A single recessive gene causes sparse hair in certain Japanese White rabbits.
research Data from Spontaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Induced by the Somatic Inactivation of Retinoblastoma and Trp53 Tumor Suppressors
Loss of the p53 gene alone causes tumors, and losing both p53 and Rb genes speeds up aggressive skin cancer.
research Directed Expression of a Chimeric Type II Keratin Partially Rescues Keratin 5-null Mice
A chimeric keratin partially improved skin structure in mice lacking keratin 5, but didn't fully restore normal skin.
