research Secretory phospholipase A2-IIA overexpressing mice exhibit cyclic alopecia mediated through aberrant hair shaft differentiation and impaired wound healing response
Mice with too much sPLA₂-IIA have hair loss and poor wound healing due to abnormal hair growth and stem cell depletion.
research Function and interactions of the Ysc84/SH3yl1 family of actin- and lipid-binding proteins
The Ysc84/SH3yl1 protein family is important for cell movement and the process of taking in materials by interacting with actin and cell membranes.
research Monilethrix: Mutational Hotspot in the Helix Termination Motif of the Human Hair Basic Keratin 6
Monilethrix severity varies and may be influenced by other genetic or environmental factors.
research Structural Stability of Wild Type and Mutated α-Keratin Fragments: Molecular Dynamics and Free Energy Calculations
The Glu413Lys mutation in keratin affects hair stability, while Glu413Asp does not.

Deleting the Sox21 gene changes hair lipid composition and increases cholesterol sulfate levels.
research Cell Type-specific Functions of the Lysosomal Protease Cathepsin L in the Heart
Cathepsin L is essential for heart health and its absence causes heart problems and hair loss.
research Laccase-catalyzed poly(tyrosine) grafting improves the performance of wool
Using laccase to add poly(tyrosine) to wool makes it less likely to shrink and stronger.
research The effect of DNMTs and MBPs on hypomethylation in systemic lupus erythematosus
Certain proteins involved in DNA modification may affect the genetic changes in systemic lupus erythematosus and could indicate the disease's activity.
research Metabolic and pathologic profiles of human LSS deficiency recapitulated in mice
Mice with LSS deficiency showed hair loss and cataracts, similar to humans, and can help in understanding and treating this condition.
research Ultrastructural visualization of cross-linked protein features in epidermal appendages
Cross-linked proteins help maintain the structure of hair, feathers, and hagfish teeth.
research Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β -HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3) Inhibitors:Extragonadal Regulation of Intracellular Sex Steroid Hormone Levels
Certain inhibitors can potentially treat prostate cancer and other hormone-dependent conditions by controlling sex hormone levels in cells.
research Oxidative Activity of the Type 2 Isozyme of 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β-HSD) Predominates in Human Sebaceous Glands
The enzyme 17β-HSD type 2 mainly performs oxidation in human sebaceous glands, which may help protect against acne.
research Analysis of hidradenitis suppurativa–linked mutations in four genes and the effects of PSEN1-P242LfsX11 on cytokine and chemokine expression in macrophages
The document concludes that certain mutations may contribute to the inflammation in hidradenitis suppurativa and suggests that targeting TNFα could be a treatment strategy.
research Keratin 75 Is a Component of the LINC Complex and Has an Essential Role in Mediating the SOX2 Rapid Healing Response during Wound Repair
Keratin 75 is important for fast wound healing and works with SOX2 and the LINC complex to help skin cells move and repair damage.
research Enhancing 1α-Hydroxylase Activity with the 25-Hydroxyvitamin D-1α-Hydroxylase Gene in Cultured Human Keratinocytes and Mouse Skin
Adding a specific gene to skin cells can help treat skin disorders like psoriasis.
research Isolation and characterization of genomic clones of human sequences presumably coding for hair cysteine-rich proteins
A new protein linked to hair strength was identified, aiding in understanding brittle hair conditions.
research Complete defect in PA-PLA1α secretion function leading to autosomal recessive woolly hair and hypotrichosis: insights from a novel compound heterozygous LIPH variant study in a Chinese pedigree
A new genetic variant in the LIPH gene causes hair growth issues in a Chinese patient.
research A small multigene hydroxyproline-O-galactosyltransferase family functions in arabinogalactan-protein glycosylation, growth and development in Arabidopsis
Three genes in Arabidopsis are important for plant growth and development by affecting sugar attachment to proteins.
research Substrate specific sulfatase activity from hair follicles in recessive X-linked ichthyosis
Recessive X-linked ichthyosis involves a less efficient enzyme in hair follicles, suggesting two distinct enzymes.
research Mapping the accessibility of the disulfide crosslink network in the wool fiber cortex
Cysteines in wool fibers are accessible and form important disulfide bonds.
