630-660 / 1000+ resultsresearch Molecular Genetics of Inherited Disorders of Epidermal Keratins
Mutations in keratin genes cause skin disorders, but new treatments show promise.
research Constitutive Internalization of the Leucine-rich G Protein-coupled Receptor-5 (LGR5) to the Trans-Golgi Network
LGR5 mainly stays inside cells, moving to the trans-Golgi network, and this process is important for its role in cell signaling.
research Protein Kinase Cε, Which Is Linked to Ultraviolet Radiation-Induced Development of Squamous Cell Carcinomas, Stimulates Rapid Turnover of Adult Hair Follicle Stem Cells
PKC ε increases hair follicle stem cell turnover and may raise skin cancer risk.
research Matriptase/MT-SP1 is required for postnatal survival, epidermal barrier function, hair follicle development, and thymic homeostasis
research Clinical Snippets
A bull with a gene mutation was asymptomatic, synthetic retinoids cause hair loss, and new therapeutic targets were identified for skin diseases.
research Keratin 17 modulates hair follicle cycling in a TNFα-dependent fashion
Keratin 17 is crucial for normal hair growth by regulating hair cycle transitions with TNFα.
research Molecular Analysis of a Series of Israeli Families with Comèl-Netherton Syndrome
Certain SPINK5 gene mutations are common in Israeli families with Comèl-Netherton syndrome.
research In vivo alteration of the keratin 17 gene in hair follicles by oligonucleotide‐directed gene targeting
Altering the keratin 17 gene in mice hair follicles caused temporary hair issues, but changes were minimal and short-lived.
research Studies on basal cell carcinoma with emphasis on the role of the human homologue of the Drosophila patched gene
PTCH gene mutations contribute to basal cell carcinoma development.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Autosomal-dominant woolly hair resulting from disruption of keratin 74 (KRT74), a potential determinant of human hair texture.
A mutation in the KRT74 gene causes woolly hair by affecting hair texture.
research Deletion of an Enhancer in FGF5 is Associated With Ectopic Expression in Goat Hair Follicles and the Cashmere Growth Phenotype
A genetic variant in goats is linked to cashmere growth.
research The mouse keratin 6 isoforms are differentially expressed in the hair follicle, footpad, tongue and activated epidermis
Mouse keratin 6 isoforms have different expression patterns in various tissues.
research Identification and sequence analysis of the keratin-associated protein 24‐1 (KAP24-1) gene homologue in sheep
The research identified a gene in sheep important for wool quality, which could help improve wool traits.
research Is thyrotropin-releasing hormone a novel neuroendocrine modulator of keratin expression in human skin?
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone may help control skin and hair growth and could aid in treating related disorders.
research Hereditary 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D Resistant Rickets due to a Mutation Causing Multiple Defects in Vitamin D Receptor Function
A specific gene mutation causes vitamin D resistance, but certain vitamin D analogs might help.
research CD271 orchestrates skin structure, differentiation, and inflammation via PI3K/Akt and PKCα/ERK pathways
CD271 is crucial for maintaining healthy skin and preventing inflammation.
research Mutations in the vitamin D receptor and hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets
Mutations in the vitamin D receptor cause hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, leading to poor bone health and requiring high calcium doses for treatment.
research Oncogenic Kras induces spatiotemporally specific tissue deformation through converting pulsatile into sustained ERK activation
The Kras mutation changes normal cell signals, leading to disrupted tissue structure and potential cancer.
