570-600 / 1000+ results research Expression of apoptosis-related genes in the mouse skin during the first postnatal catagen stage, focused on localization of Bnip3L and caspase-12
The research found changes in gene expression related to cell death in mouse skin that help understand hair follicle development and skin health.
research Concerted gene duplications in the two keratin gene families
research Signal Peptide-CUB-EGF-like Domain-Containing Protein 3 (SCUBE3): From Molecule to Therapy
SCUBE3 is a potential target for cancer and alopecia treatment but is challenging to target due to its varied roles.
research Bikunin, a Serine Protease Inhibitor, is Present on the Cell Boundary of Epidermis
Bikunin is found on the cell boundaries of certain skin layers and may help regulate skin and hair functions.
research A Homozygous Missense Variant in K25 Underlying Overlapping Phenotype with Woolly Hair and Dental Anomalies
A specific mutation in the K25 gene causes a rare genetic disorder with curly hair at birth and later hair loss, along with dental issues.
research Genetic Susceptibility to Alopecia
Certain mutations in the PADI3 gene may increase the risk of developing a type of scarring hair loss common in women of African descent.
research Knockout of the ING5 epigenetic regulator confirms roles in stem cell maintenance and tumor suppression in vivo
ING5 is crucial for stem cell maintenance and preventing certain cancers.
research Immune deficiency–related enteropathy-lymphocytopenia-alopecia syndrome results from tetratricopeptide repeat domain 7A deficiency
A deficiency in the TTC7A gene causes immune problems, gut issues, and hair loss.
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 AIMP1-derived peptide secreted from hair follicle stem cells activates dermal papilla cells to promote hair growth
A peptide from hair follicle stem cells promotes hair growth by activating specific skin cells.
research Non-histone Methylation of SET7/9 and its Biological Functions
SET7/9 enzyme affects cell growth and diseases like cancer, diabetes, and obesity.
research Establishment and Characterization of Immortalized Human Dermal Papilla Cells Expressing Human Papillomavirus 16 E6/E7
Immortalized human dermal papilla cells were created that grow better and can still help form hair.
research Interleukin-1β Is Differentially Expressed by Human Dermal Papilla Cells in Response to PKC Activation and Is a Potent Inhibitor of Human Hair Follicle Growth in Organ Culture
IL-1β inhibits human hair follicle growth.
research Cloning and Characterization of a Mouse Type I Hair Keratin cDNA
research Rapid hair depigmentation in patient treated with pazopanib
Pazopanib treatment caused rapid hair color loss, possibly indicating its effectiveness.
research Pattern of expression of c-Myc, Max and Bin1 in human anagen hair follicles
c-Myc, Max, and Bin1 help hair follicle cells mature and die.
research Isolation and characterization of a sheep cysteine-rich cuticle keratin pseudogene
Researchers found a non-functional sheep keratin gene due to mutations.
research Serine-rich ultra high sulfur protein gene expression in murine hair and skin during the hair cycle
research Expression of E6 and E7 papillomavirus oncogenes in the outer root sheath of hair follicles extends the growth phase and bypasses resting at telogen.
E6/E7 oncogenes in hair follicles cause continuous hair growth by skipping the resting phase.
research Topical Application of a Protein Kinase C Inhibitor Reduces Skin and Hair Pigmentation
Applying a specific inhibitor lightens skin and hair color.
research 422 Human hair follicles express PD-L1, whose expression is down-regulated by EGFR and MEK inhibitors ex vivo. A potential mechanism for EGFR inhibitor induced sterile folliculitis
EGFR and MEK inhibitors reduce PD-L1 in hair follicles, possibly causing inflammation.
research Suppression of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E prevents chemotherapy-induced alopecia
Suppressing eIF4E can prevent hair loss from chemotherapy.
research 078 The transmembrane protein LRIG1 regulates receptor tyrosine kinases in skin development and homeostasis
LRIG1 protein affects hair growth by regulating skin receptors, leading to hair loss when overexpressed.

Double-stranded RNA activates a pathway that causes a skin protein to be expressed in the wrong place.
research Regulation of self-renewal in colorectal cancer cell models
Reducing SOX2 in colorectal cancer cells decreases tumor growth and self-renewal.
research Laminin-511, inducer of hair growth, is down-regulated and its suppressor in hair growth, laminin-332 up-regulated in chemotherapy-induced alopecia
Chemotherapy-induced hair loss is partly due to decreased laminin-511 and increased laminin-332.
research Predominance of CD27-PD-1- Effector Memory T Cells Re-Expressing CD45RA Characterizes Treatment-Resistant Severe Alopecia Areata
research Histopathological and Ultrastructural Study of Ectodermal Dysplasia/Skin Fragility Syndrome
