research Experimental Induction of Alopecia Areata-Like Hair Loss in C3H/HeJ Mice Using Full-Thickness Skin Grafts
Skin grafts on mice can cause an immune response leading to hair loss, useful for studying human hair loss conditions.
research Keratin 17 null mice exhibit age- and strain-dependent alopecia
Keratin 17 is crucial for early hair strength and cell survival.
research Function and underlying mechanisms of seasonal colour moulting in mammals and birds: what keeps them changing in a warming world?
Animals that change color with the seasons mainly do so in response to daylight changes, but climate change is causing camouflage problems that may require evolutionary changes.
research Significant Correction of Disease after Postnatal Administration of Recombinant Ectodysplasin A in Canine X-Linked Ectodermal Dysplasia
Giving a special protein to dogs with a certain genetic disease improved their symptoms but didn't help with hair growth.
research Disruption of FGF5 in Cashmere Goats Using CRISPR/Cas9 Results in More Secondary Hair Follicles and Longer Fibers
CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing in cashmere goats increases hair follicles and fiber length, boosting cashmere yield.
research Hormonal regulation of hair follicles exhibits a biological paradox
Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.
research No evidence for the immunocompetence handicap hypothesis in male humans
Higher free testosterone levels in men are linked to a stronger immune response, not weaker.
research Inhibition of β-catenin signalling in dermal fibroblasts enhances hair follicle regeneration during wound healing
Blocking β-catenin in skin cells improves hair growth during wound healing.
research Development and progression of alopecia in the vitamin D receptor null mouse
Mice without the vitamin D receptor gene lose hair due to disrupted hair follicle cycles.
research Prolactin Signaling Influences the Timing Mechanism of the Hair Follicle: Analysis of Hair Growth Cycles in Prolactin Receptor Knockout Mice*
Prolactin affects when mice shed and grow hair.
research Ectopic Expression of the nude Gene Induces Hyperproliferation and Defects in Differentiation: Implications for the Self-Renewal of Cutaneous Epithelia
The nude gene causes skin cell overgrowth and improper development, leading to hair and urinary issues.
research Fadrozole and finasteride exposures modulate sex steroid- and thyroid hormone-related gene expression in Silurana (Xenopus) tropicalis early larval development
Fadrozole and finasteride change gene expression related to sex hormones and thyroid hormones in frog larvae development.
research The C3H/HeJ mouse and DEBR rat models for alopecia areata: review of preclinical drug screening approaches and results
Both mouse and rat models are effective for testing alopecia areata treatments.
research What should it take to describe a substance or product as 'sperm-safe'
Products should be called 'sperm-safe' only after thorough, well-designed tests.
research Targeted Expression of Human Vitamin D Receptor in the Skin Promotes the Initiation of the Postnatal Hair Follicle Cycle and Rescues the Alopecia in Vitamin D Receptor Null Mice
Vitamin D receptor is crucial for starting hair growth after birth.
research Defects in mitochondrial DNA replication and oxidative damage in muscle of mtDNA mutator mice
Defective mitochondrial DNA replication causes aging symptoms and increased oxidative damage in mice.
research Spontaneous tumour regression in keratoacanthomas is driven by Wnt/retinoic acid signalling cross-talk
Skin tumor regression is helped by retinoic acid signaling blocking Wnt signaling.
research The slick hair coat locus maps to chromosome 20 in Senepol-derived cattle
The gene for slick hair in Senepol cattle is located on chromosome 20 and may involve the SRD5A2 gene.
research Coat condition, housing condition and measurement of faecal cortisol metabolites - a non-invasive study about alopecia in captive rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta)
Alopecia in captive rhesus macaques is affected by season, sex, age, housing, and stress, with complex links between stress hormones and hair loss.
research Estrogens and the hair follicle. Ostrogene und der Haarfollikel
Estrogens generally inhibit hair growth and improve skin quality, but their exact effects on hair follicles are complex and not fully understood.
research Targeted Disruption of Stat3 Reveals a Major Role for Follicular Stem Cells in Skin Tumor Initiation
Disrupting Stat3 in hair follicle stem cells greatly reduces skin tumor formation.
research Generation and characterization of rat liver stem cell lines and their engraftment in a rat model of liver failure
Researchers created rat liver stem cells that could help repair liver failure in rats and may be useful for studying human liver diseases.
research Melatonin promotes secondary hair follicle development of early postnatal cashmere goat and improves cashmere quantity and quality by enhancing antioxidant capacity and suppressing apoptosis
Melatonin improves cashmere goat hair growth and quality by increasing antioxidants and reducing cell death.
research Steroid plant hormones: Effects outside plant kingdom
Plant steroid hormones show growth, health, and medicinal benefits in various organisms, including potential for treating diseases.
research Development of a DNA-analytical Method for the Identification of Animal Hair Fibers in Textiles
Researchers developed a new method to identify animal hair in textiles, which is effective for various fibers and more reliable than previous methods.
research Adult spiny mice (Acomys) exhibit endogenous cardiac recovery in response to myocardial infarction
