A new mutation in the ST14 gene broadens the understanding of ichthyosis-hypotrichosis syndrome.
research Transposon control as a checkpoint for tissue regeneration
Controlling transposable elements is crucial for successful tissue regeneration.
research Referee report. For: Pathogenesis of Androgenetic alopecia [v1; indexed, http://f1000r.es/5ar]
Androgenetic alopecia may be irreversible due to the detachment of a muscle from hair follicles.
research Roles of MED1 in Quiescence of Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Maintenance of Normal Hair Cycling
MED1 is essential for normal hair growth and maintaining hair follicle stem cells.
research Functional analysis of thymosin beta-4 using over-expressing transgenic mice
Melanoma cells lose their ability to form tumors when placed in a zebrafish embryo environment.
research Role of distinct fibroblast lineages and immune cells in dermal repair following UV radiation induced tissue damage
UV exposure harms skin by causing fibroblast loss, but T cells help fibroblast survival.
research Expression patterns of MITF during human cutaneous embryogenesis: evidence for bulge epithelial expression and persistence of dermal melanoblasts
Melanocyte precursors in human fetal skin follow a specific migration pattern and some remain in the skin's deeper layers.
research Proposing a Simpler Classification of Telogen Effluvium
Alfredo Rebora suggested a new, easier way to classify hair loss in Telogen Effluvium, adding a type possibly related to autoimmune diseases.
research Finding Parallels
Human stem cells can aid stroke recovery, research experiences boost students' career aspirations, minoxidil may reduce cancer spread, a molecule can slow tumor growth, a protein affects water flow in cells, magnesium behaves differently at tiny scales, and a new method detects slow-moving objects.
research Spangled hair in siblings
Two siblings had a rare hair condition with banded hair, which doesn't need treatment.
research Male pattern hair loss: Taking one for the team: The selfless gene
Male pattern hair loss may have evolved to promote younger fathers for offspring health and survival, encouraging monogamy and paternal nurturing.
research Critical Role of ATP-P2X7 Axis in UV-Induced Melanogenesis
ATP increases melanin production in skin after UV exposure, with the P2X7 receptor being crucial for this process.
research The Evolution of the Promise of Hair Cloning: How Hair Cell Cloning Will Fit Into Your Practice
Hair cell cloning could potentially rejuvenate shrinking hair follicles, allowing for lifelong hair maintenance.
research 線維芽細胞凝集塊形成による幹細胞形成機構の解明
Fibroblast spheres can form stem cells, but marker distribution needs more study.
research Author response: Complementary evolution of coding and noncoding sequence underlies mammalian hairlessness
Hairlessness in mammals is caused by combined changes in genes and regulatory regions.
research Dorsal skin responses to subchronic ultraviolet B (UVB)-irradiation in Wistar-derived hypotrichotic WBN/ILA-Ht rats.
Prolonged UVB exposure causes significant skin changes and damage in rats.
research Accumulations of Ca/P in the core of hairs from Taklamakan desert mummies
Mummy hair from the Taklamakan desert has calcium and phosphorus inside.
research Immune privilege and alopecia areata
Restoring immune privilege in hair follicles could help treat certain types of hair loss.
research States and Fates of Skin Fibroblasts Revealed through Chromatin Accessibility
Newborn skin cells can change into wound-healing cells more easily than adult ones, which might explain why baby skin heals without scars. Understanding this could help treat chronic wounds and prevent scarring.
research Stable analytic extrapolations in the theory of strong interactions
Oxidative stress causes hair graying by damaging hair follicle melanocytes more than skin melanocytes.
research Effects of a Closed Space Environment on Gene Expression in Hair Follicles of Astronauts in the International Space Station
Spaceflight changes how genes work in astronauts' hair follicles, possibly affecting hair growth.
research Neutrophil extracellular traps impair regeneration
Neutrophil extracellular traps slow down hair follicle healing after injury.
research An unexpected role for keratin 10 end domains in susceptibility to skin cancer
Keratin 10 end domains may increase skin cancer risk by reducing cell death.
research Transcriptome analysis reveals the genetic basis underlying the development of skin appendages and immunity in hedgehog (Atelerix albiventris)
The study found that certain genes are important for hedgehog skin appendage development and immunity, with spines possibly evolving for protection and infection resistance.
research Monilethrix: A Novel Mutation (Glu402Lys) in the Helix Termination Motif and the First Causative Mutation (Asn114Asp) in the Helix Initiation Motif of the Type II Hair Keratin hHb6
New mutations in hair keratin genes cause the rare hair disorder monilethrix.
research Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase/Akt-Dependent and -Independent Protection Against Apoptosis in Normal Human Melanocytes
Normal human melanocytes can avoid cell death through multiple pathways.
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 The Paradox of p53: What, How, and Why?
The p53 protein has complex, sometimes contradictory functions, including tumor suppression and promoting cell survival.
