Research
930-960 / 1000+ results research Keratins: the hair shaft's backbone revealed
Keratins are crucial for hair strength, and mutations in certain keratin genes cause hair disorders.
research The mouse hairy ears mutation exhibits an extended growth (anagen) phase in hair follicles and altered Hoxc gene expression in the ears
The mouse hairy ears mutation causes longer ear hair due to changes in gene expression.
research Niacin deficiency increases the sensitivity of rats to the short and long term effects of ethylnitrosourea treatment.
Niacin deficiency makes rats more sensitive to cancer-causing chemicals.

NAG-1 may help prevent some metabolic issues related to PCOS.
research Independent genomewide screens identify the tumor suppressor VTRNA2-1 as a human epiallele responsive to periconceptional environment
The environment around the time of conception can change the VTRNA2-1 gene in a way that lasts for years and may affect disease risk.
research Bone Morphogenetic Protein Signaling Regulates Postnatal Hair Follicle Differentiation and Cycling

Mutations in the KLHL24 gene cause skin blistering in epidermolysis bullosa simplex.
research A Mouse Model for the Basal Transcription/DNA Repair Syndrome Trichothiodystrophy
Researchers created a mouse with the same mutation as humans with trichothiodystrophy, showing similar symptoms and confirming the condition is due to defects in DNA repair and gene activity.
research Alopecia in a Viable Phospholipase C Delta 1 and Phospholipase C Delta 3 Double Mutant
Mutations in Plcd1 and Plcd3 together cause severe hair loss in mice.
research BG01 Confirming small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide E as a cause of nonsyndromic hypotrichosis
The protein called small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide E is identified as a cause of a type of hair loss without other symptoms.
research Homozygous whole body Cbs knockout in adult mice features minimal pathology during ageing despite severe homocysteinemia
