BIK1 gene helps plants resist some pathogens but makes them more vulnerable to others.
research Control of pelage hair follicle development and cycling by complex interactions between follistatin and activin
Follistatin helps hair growth and cycling, while activin prevents it.
research A distinct gene close to the hairless locus on chromosome 8p underlies hereditary Marie Unna type hypotrichosis in a German family
A different gene near the hairless gene on chromosome 8p21 causes a rare hair loss condition in a German family.
research A novel homozygous variant in the dsp gene underlies the first case of non-syndromic form of alopecia
