research Human Papillomavirus E6/E7 Oncogenes Promote Mouse Ear Regeneration by Increasing the Rate of Wound Re-epithelization and Epidermal Growth
HPV genes in mice improve ear tissue healing by speeding up skin growth and repair.
research From gene to therapy in spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy: Are we there yet?
Effective treatments for spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy are not yet available; more research is needed.
research From basal cell carcinoma morphogenesis to the alopecia induced by hedgehog inhibitors: connecting the dots
The article concludes that hair loss is a common side effect of drugs treating skin cancer by blocking the hedgehog pathway, but treatment should continue, and more selective drugs might prevent this side effect.
research Stem Cells in the Wild: Understanding the World of Stem Cells through Intravital Imaging
Intravital imaging helps us better understand stem cells in their natural environment and could improve knowledge of organ regeneration and cancer development.
research The Notch Intracellular Domain Has an RBPj-Independent Role during Mouse Hair Follicular Development
The Notch signaling pathway helps in mouse hair development through a noncanonical mechanism that does not rely on RBPj or transcription.
research Alopecia areata in a rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta)
The monkey's hair loss was due to an autoimmune disease, not genetics.
research Hair follicles and their role in skin health
Hair follicles are essential for skin health, aiding in hair growth, wound healing, and immune function.
research Investigation of a non-invasive method of assessing the equine circadian clock using hair follicle cells
RNA from horse hair follicles can track circadian rhythms non-invasively.
research Long-term detection of methyltestosterone (ab-) use by a yeast transactivation system
A yeast-based test can detect the steroid methyltestosterone in urine longer than traditional methods.
research Hair of the Dog: Identification of a Cis-Regulatory Module Predicted to Influence Canine Coat Composition
Researchers found a genetic region that influences the number of coat layers in dogs.
research Early embryonic exposure of freshwater gastropods to pharmaceutical 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors results in a surprising open-coiled “banana-shaped” shell
Certain drugs change freshwater snail shells to a "banana" shape.
research Flightless I exacerbation of inflammatory responses contributes to increased colonic damage in a mouse model of dextran sulphate sodium-induced ulcerative colitis
High levels of the protein Flightless I worsen ulcerative colitis symptoms in mice.
research Ppp2r2a Knockout Mice Reveal That Protein Phosphatase 2A Regulatory Subunit, PP2A-B55α, Is an Essential Regulator of Neuronal and Epidermal Embryonic Development
The PP2A-B55α protein is essential for brain and skin development in embryos.
research The effect of night shift work on the expression of clock genes in beard hair follicle cells
Night shift work disrupts the body's natural clock genes.
research Metabolic and transcriptomic reprogramming during contact inhibition-induced quiescence is mediated by YAP-dependent and YAP-independent mechanisms
Quiescent cells have increased mitochondrial activity and ECM gene expression, but reduced glycolysis.
research Autoantigen Discovery in the Hair Loss Disorder, Alopecia Areata: Implication of Post-Translational Modifications
New protein changes may be involved in the immune attack on hair follicles in alopecia areata.
research Regulatory Mechanisms of Natural Active Ingredients and Compounds on Keratinocytes and Fibroblasts in Mitigating Skin Photoaging
Natural ingredients may help reduce skin aging by protecting cells and boosting collagen.
research Integral Roles of Specific Proteoglycans in Hair Growth and Hair Loss: Mechanisms behind the Bioactivity of Proteoglycan Replacement Therapy with Nourkrin® with Marilex® in Pattern Hair Loss and Telogen Effluvium
Proteoglycans are important for hair growth, and a specific treatment can help reduce hair loss.
research Platelet-derived growth factor regulates the proliferation and differentiation of human melanocytes in a differentiation-stage-specific manner
PDGF-BB helps young melanocytes grow but stops mature ones from growing, and it makes melanocytes more specialized.
research Accelerated Wound Healing Using Nanoparticles
Nanoparticles can speed up wound healing and deliver drugs effectively but may have potential toxicity risks.
research Fibroblast heterogeneity and tertiary lymphoid tissues in the kidney
Different types of fibroblasts play various roles in kidney repair and aging, and may affect chronic kidney disease outcomes.
research Expression and functional relevance of melatonin receptors in hair follicle biology
Melatonin receptors in hair follicles help regulate hair growth and could treat hair loss.
research Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness may be caused by factors like poor blood circulation, scalp tension, stress, and hormonal imbalances, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research In-vivo uptake and metabolism of testosterone by the skin and other tissues of the rat
Rat skin takes up and processes testosterone differently than other organs, with testosterone being more important for the skin than its metabolite 5α-DHT.
research Rodent models in placental research. Implications for fetal origins of adult disease
Using rodents for research shows that health problems in the womb can cause diseases later in life.
research Biomaterials and Stem Cells: Promising Tools in Tissue Engineering and Biomedical Applications
Biomaterials combined with stem cells show promise for improving tissue repair and medical treatments.
research Evaluation of the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride on reproduction and gonadal development in medaka, Oryzias latipes
Finasteride negatively affects fish reproduction and gonadal development.
research Morphogenetic Mechanisms in the Cyclic Regeneration of Hair Follicles and Deer Antlers from Stem Cells
Hair follicles and deer antlers regenerate similarly through stem cells and are influenced by hormones and growth factors.
research Keratin function and regulation in tissue homeostasis and pathogenesis
Keratin is crucial for keeping skin cells healthy and its changes can lead to diseases and affect cell behavior.
