870-900 / 1000+ resultsresearch Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone, a Novel, Locally Produced Modulator of Human Epidermal Functions, Is Regulated by Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone and Thyroid Hormones
The skin produces and responds to thyroid-stimulating hormone, which is controlled by other thyroid-related hormones.
research Type II Keratins Are Phosphorylated on a Unique Motif during Stress and Mitosis in Tissues and Cultured Cells
Type II keratins are uniquely phosphorylated during stress and mitosis, affecting their structure and function.
research Molecular Genetics of Human Hair Diseases
research Spectrum of Phenotypes Associated with Human MC1R Variations
MC1R gene variations affect skin, hair color, UV sensitivity, and melanoma risk.
research Hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy
A rare genetic disease causes sparse hair and early blindness due to a gene mutation.
research The promoter of an androgen dependent gene in the hamster flank organ
Researchers found a gene in hamsters that responds to male hormones and may be indirectly controlled by them.
research Identification of somatic and germline mosaicism for a keratin 5 mutation in epidermolysis bullosa simplex in a family of which the proband was previously regarded as a sporadic case
The keratin 5 mutation in a family with epidermolysis bullosa simplex was due to mosaicism, not a new mutation.
research 723 DNA dioxygenases Tet2/3 regulate gene promoter accessibility and three-dimensional chromatin topology in lineage-specific loci to control hair growth
Tet2 and Tet3 enzymes are essential for controlling hair growth by affecting DNA demethylation and gene expression in mice.
research 312 CRISPR/Cas9-based targeted genome editing for correction of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa using iPS cells
The research showed that CRISPR/Cas9 can fix mutations causing a skin disease in stem cells, which then improved skin grafts in mice, but more work on safety and efficiency is needed.
research Signal integrator function of CXXC5 in Cancer
CXXC5 can both suppress and promote cancer, making it a complex target for treatment.
research 177 Chronic graft-versus-host disease exhibits distinct Th1-skewing and barrier abnormalities in the skin
Chronic graft-versus-host disease in the skin shows strong Th1 immune response and unique barrier issues.
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 Characterization and expression analysis of the hair keratin associated protein KAP26.1
research Peer Review #1 of "A novel control of human keratin expression: cannabinoid receptor 1-mediated signaling down-regulates the expression of keratins K6 and K16 in human keratinocytes in vitro and in situ (v0.1)"
Activating cannabinoid receptor 1 may help manage psoriasis by reducing certain keratins.
research 1358 PRC1 fine-tunes gene repression and activation to safeguard skin epithelium development and stem cell specification
PRC1 is essential for proper skin development and stem cell formation by controlling gene activity.
research Skin Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase Genes
research Epigenetic regulation of 5α reductase-1 underlies adaptive plasticity of reproductive function and pubertal timing
Environmental factors affect reproductive traits by altering the SRD5A1 gene.
research SbbHLH85, a bHLH Member, Modulates Resilience to Salt Stress By Regulating Root Hair Growth in Sweet Sorghum
The SbbHLH85 protein helps sweet sorghum grow more root hairs but makes the plant more sensitive to salt.
research Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex Caused by Distal Truncation of BPAG1-e: An Intermediate Generalized Phenotype with Prurigo Papules
A rare gene mutation causes skin fragility and itching without affecting hair or nails.
research Atrichia with papular lesions resulting from a novel homozygous missense mutation in the hairless gene
A new genetic mutation in the hairless gene causes a rare hair loss disorder.
