930-960 / 1000+ results research Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide Operates as a Negative Regulator of Human Hair Follicle Pigmentation Ex Vivo
VIP reduces hair pigmentation by decreasing melanin production.
research Pluripotent Stem Cell Technology: A Promising Remedy for Hypopigmentation Disorders
Pluripotent stem cells show promise for treating skin color loss disorders like vitiligo.
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 GRHL3 binding and enhancers rearrange as epidermal keratinocytes transition between functional states
GRHL3 is important for controlling gene activity in skin cells during different stages of their development.
research Pigmentation and Pregnancy
Most skin changes during pregnancy are harmless and moles don't significantly change, but many women experience pigmentation changes due to hormones and sun exposure.
research Prevalence and distribution of melanocytic naevi on the scalp: a prospective study
Moles on the scalp are more common in people with more body moles and atypical moles, but not linked to balding.
research Abstracts
Ablative fractional laser treatment nearly matches the gene reduction effects of topical vismodegib in skin cancer.
research Isolation and Characterization of a Putative Keratin-Associated Protein Gene Expressed in Embryonic Skin of Mice
The 4C32 gene may help in mouse skin development and differentiation.
research Both Retinoic Acid Receptors α (RARα) and γ (RARγ) Are Able to Initiate Mouse Upper-Lip Skin Glandular Metaplasia
research 708 Polycomb-mediated repression and Sonic hedgehog signaling regulate Merkel cell specification
Sonic hedgehog signaling is needed for the development of touch-receptor cells in the skin, and the loss of Polycomb repressive complex 2 can lead to more of these cells.
research Human hair production by scalp samples grafted onto nude mice. Biochemical data on normal human hair and the genetic defect trichothiodystrophy
Grafted human scalp samples on mice can produce human hair, useful for studying hair genetics.
research Induction of dark keratinocytes by 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate and mezerein as an indicator of tumor-promoting efficiency
TPA is about 50 times more effective at promoting tumors than MZ.
research Histopathologic Findings of Cutaneous Hyperpigmentation in Addison Disease and Immunostain of the Melanocytic Population
The study found increased skin pigmentation and variable melanocyte density in a patient with Addison's disease.
research DMBA/TPA Treatment Is Necessary for BCC Formation from Patched Deficient Epidermal Cells in Ptch flox/flox CD4Cre +/− Mice
Genetic mutation and carcinogen treatment are both needed for skin cancer to develop in these specific mice.
research The Genetics of Human Skin Disease
Genetic research has advanced our understanding of skin diseases, but complex conditions require an integrative approach for deeper insight.
research Basal cell carcinomas in mice arise from hair follicle stem cells and multiple epithelial progenitor populations
Basal cell carcinomas in mice can start from hair follicle stem cells and other skin cell types, depending on signaling levels.
research Targeted disruption of Bcl‐xL in mouse keratinocytes inhibits both UVB‐ and chemically induced skin carcinogenesis
Disrupting Bcl-xL in mice reduces skin cancer risk.
research Mutation analysis of the typeIIhair keratin gene in a family of Han nationality with monilethrix
A specific gene mutation causes monilethrix in this family, and minoxidil treatment improves hair condition.
research Towards new aspects of melatonin research in dermato‐endocrinology
Melatonin protects skin and hair from damage and stress by acting as an antioxidant and influencing cell growth.
research 0749 Serine and arginine-rich splicing factor 3 regulates epidermal differentiation in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma
research 571 Role of observation for excisionally biopsied moderately dysplastic nevi with positive histologic margins and risk of development of future melanoma
Watching, not removing, skin growths with moderate atypia and positive edges is okay; patients may get melanoma elsewhere, especially if they've had it before.
research Langerhans' Cells in Hair Follicles of the Depigmenting C57Bl/Ler-vit.vit Mouse
Langerhans' cells are not involved in hair depigmentation in these mice.
research 604 DNA dioxygenases TET regulate keratin gene expression and enhancer networks within lineage-specific gene loci during epidermal and hair follicle-specific keratinocyte differentiation
TET enzymes are important for skin and hair development by controlling gene activity in specific areas.
research 1376 A multi-scale spatial atlas of human skin links cancer cell states to site of origin
The research shows that skin cancer likely originates from hair follicles and that certain cell populations expand to promote skin cancer growth.
research The BLMP-1 transcription factor promotes oscillatory gene expression to achieve timely molting
BLMP-1 is important for regular molting and gene expression cycles in worms.
research 1336 The de novo DNA methyltransferase DNMT3A is required for epidermal homeostasis
DNMT3A is crucial for healthy skin and hair growth.
research Desmoglein 4 is regulated by transcription factors implicated in hair shaft differentiation
Desmoglein 4 is controlled by specific proteins that affect hair growth.
