810-840 / 1000+ resultsresearch Evolution of Trichocyte Keratins
Hair keratins evolved from ancient proteins, diversifying through gene changes, crucial for forming claws and later hair in mammals.
research Functional analysis of vitamin D receptor (VDR) using adenovirus vector
The study found that certain mutations in the vitamin D receptor can cause rickets and potentially affect hair growth.
research Generalized hypertrichosis after 5% minoxidil solution in trichorhinophalangeal syndrome: A case report and review of the literatures
5% minoxidil can significantly increase hair growth in TRPS patients.
research 0873 Modeling junctional epidermolysis bullosa using tissue-engineered skin substitutes
Tissue-engineered skin substitutes can model junctional epidermolysis bullosa and may help develop gene therapy.
research 284 Deciphering the pathogenesis of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia
CCCA in women of African ancestry may be caused by PADI3 gene mutations and intense hair grooming.
research Advances in molecular pathogenesis of hidradenitis suppurativa: Dysregulated keratins and ECM signaling
Recent findings suggest that genetic factors, immune system issues, and skin cell defects might contribute to the development of hidradenitis suppurativa.
research Molecular Mechanisms Regulating Hair Follicle Development
Understanding hair follicle development can help treat hair loss, skin regeneration, and certain skin cancers.
research Skin Cell Heterogeneity in Development, Wound Healing, and Cancer
Different types of skin cells play specific roles in development, healing, and cancer.
research Asebia-2J (Scd1ab2J): A New Allele and a Model for Scarring Alopecia
The absence of functional sebaceous glands causes hair follicle destruction and scarring alopecia.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research The role of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2b in skin homeostasis and cancer development
Fgfr2b helps maintain healthy skin and prevent cancer.
research Evolution of hard proteins in the sauropsid integument in relation to the cornification of skin derivatives in amniotes
Hard skin features like scales, feathers, and hair evolved through specific protein changes in different animal groups.
research Is the Loose Anagen Hair Syndrome a Keratin Disorder?
Loose anagen hair syndrome may be caused by keratin gene mutations.
research N-terminal functional domain of Gasdermin A3 regulates mitochondrial homeostasis via mitochondrial targeting
Mutations in Gasdermin A3 cause skin inflammation and hair loss by disrupting mitochondria.
research Thehairless gene of the mouse: Relationship of phenotypic effects with expression profile and genotype
Mutations in the hairless gene in mice affect its expression and lead to a range of developmental issues in multiple tissues.
research Significance of stress keratin expression in normal and diseased epithelia
Stress keratins are expressed less in diseased skin and are linked to differentiation, inflammation, and immunity.
research Runx3 is involved in hair shape determination
Runx3 helps determine hair shape.
research Non-canonical dimerization of the androgen receptor and other nuclear receptors: implications for human disease
Mutations in certain receptors can cause diseases and offer new treatment options.
research Biallelic HEPHL1 variants impair ferroxidase activity and cause an abnormal hair phenotype
Mutations in the HEPHL1 gene cause abnormal hair and cognitive issues.
research Transglutaminase 3: The Involvement in Epithelial Differentiation and Cancer
TGM3 is important for skin and hair structure and may help diagnose cancer.
research β1 Integrins with Individually Disrupted Cytoplasmic NPxY Motifs Are Embryonic Lethal but Partially Active in the Epidermis
Mutations in β1 integrins cause embryonic death but have milder effects on skin.
research Skin precancer.
Sun exposure and genetics increase skin cancer risk from precancerous lesions.
research Characterization of the epidermal-dermal junction in hiPSC-derived skin organoids
The study created hair-bearing skin models that lack a key protein for skin layer attachment, limiting their use for certain skin disease research.
research Differences between ultrastructure and protein composition in straight hair fibres
Lustre mutant sheep have normal hair structure and proteins but differ in felting properties.
research Diseases on Hair Follicles Leading to Hair Loss Part I: Nonscarring Alopecias
Common types of non-scarring hair loss have various causes and treatments, but more effective solutions are needed.
research Baicalin inhibits recruitment of GATA1 to the HSD3B2 promoter and reverses hyperandrogenism of PCOS
Baicalin may help reduce excessive male hormone levels in PCOS.
research Impact of Combined Baricitinib and FTI Treatment on Adipogenesis in Hutchinson–Gilford Progeria Syndrome and Other Lipodystrophic Laminopathies
Baricitinib and its combination with lonafarnib improve fat cell formation in certain genetic disorders.
research Hair for brain trade-off, a metabolic bypass for encephalization
Human hair loss may have evolved to help increase brain size.
research [Anejaculation caused by haemosiderosis: male infertility in hereditary haemochromatosis].
Early diagnosis and treatment of haemochromatosis are crucial for reversing organ damage and improving fertility.
