Research
780-810 / 1000+ resultsresearch A mutation in MAP2 is associated with prenatal hair follicle density
A mutation in the MAP2 gene causes reduced hair follicle density, leading to hairlessness.
research The up‐regulation of 14‐3‐3 proteins in Smad4 deficient epidermis and hair follicles at catagen
Increased 14-3-3 proteins may block hair cycle regression, causing hair loss.
research Lgr6+ stem cells and their progeny in mouse epidermis under regimens of exogenous skin carcinogenesis, and their absence in ensuing skin tumors
UV exposure reduces Lgr6+ stem cells in mouse skin and they don't significantly contribute to skin cancer development.
research Overexpression of protein kinase C-α in the epidermis of transgenic mice results in striking alterations in phorbol ester-induced inflammation and COX-2, MIP-2 and TNF-α expression but not tumor promotion
Overexpressing PKCα in mice skin increases inflammation but doesn't affect tumor growth.
research Metabolic dysfunction in female mice with disruption of 5α-reductase 1
Female mice with disrupted 5α-reductase 1 had significant metabolic issues, including stress response problems, insulin resistance, liver fat buildup, and obesity.
research K6/ODC transgenic mice as a sensitive model for carcinogen identification
K6/ODC transgenic mice are effective for quickly identifying cancer-causing chemicals.
research Mutations in AEC syndrome skin reveal a role for p63 in basement membrane adhesion, skin barrier integrity and hair follicle biology
Mutations in the p63 gene affect skin adhesion, barrier integrity, and hair growth.
research Conditional expression of the ErbB2 oncogene elicits reversible hyperplasia in stratified epithelia and up-regulation of TGFα expression in transgenic mice
research Suppression of mammary tumorigenesis in transgenic mice by the RXR-selective retinoid, LGD1069.
LGD1069 effectively prevents breast tumors in mice without toxicity.
research Animal models of human skin disease
Mutations in certain skin proteins cause severe skin issues, while others have limited effects, highlighting the need to understand these proteins for better treatments.
research Absence of vitamin D receptor (VDR)‐mediated PPARγ suppression causes alopecia in VDR‐null mice
Lack of vitamin D receptor causes hair loss in mice by allowing certain genes to overactivate.
research Impaired wound healing in transgenic mice overexpressing the activin antagonist follistatin in the epidermis
Overexpressing follistatin in mice delays wound healing and reduces scar size.
research Overexpression of parathyroid hormone-related protein in the skin of transgenic mice interferes with hair follicle development.
Too much parathyroid hormone-related protein in skin disrupts hair growth in mice.
research Retardation of Hair Follicle Development by the Deletion of TrkC, High-Affinity Neurotrophin-3 Receptor
Lack of TrkC receptor delays hair follicle development.
research Suppression of hair follicle development inhibits induction of sonic hedgehog, patched, and patched-2 in hair germs in mice
Blocking hair follicle development stops key gene signals needed for hair growth in mice.
research Overexpression of Sonic Hedgehog suppresses embryonic hair follicle morphogenesis
Too much Sonic Hedgehog protein stops hair growth in embryos.
research 186 Dissecting the role of the common neurotrophin receptor CD271 in the skin: generation and characterization of a novel mouse model with keratinocyte-specific conditional deletion
Deleting the CD271 gene in mouse skin cells leads to disorganized skin and increased hair growth, suggesting CD271 is important for skin health.
research Upregulation of interfollicular epidermal and hair infundibulum β-catenin expression in Gsdma3 mutant mice
Mice with a Gsdma3 gene mutation have thicker skin and longer hair follicle openings due to increased β-catenin levels.
research Alopecia in a Novel Mouse Model RCO3 Is Caused by mK6irs1 Deficiency
A missing mK6irs1 gene causes hair loss in mice.
research Functional redundancy of Frizzled 3 and Frizzled 6 in planar cell polarity control of mouse hair follicles
Frizzled 3 and Frizzled 6 together control the orientation of mouse hair follicles.

A new keratin gene was found in mice, explaining hair growth.
research sm“FISH”ing for Hedgehog
Hedgehog signaling controls hair follicle development and can affect skin cancer growth.
research Planar Cell Polarity Cadherin Celsr1 Regulates Skin Hair Patterning in the Mouse
The Celsr1 gene is crucial for normal hair patterning in mice.
research 919 Overexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 in the skin of adult transgenic mice leads to sebaceous gland hyperplasia and thinning of hair shafts
Increasing COX-2 in mouse skin causes bigger sebaceous glands and thinner hair, but stopping COX-2 can reverse hair thinning.
research The metabolically protective energy expenditure increase ofPik3r1-related insulin resistance is not explained by Ucp1-mediated thermogenesis
Increased energy use in Pik3r1-related insulin resistance isn't due to Ucp1 thermogenesis.
research The disrupted balance between hair follicles and sebaceous glands inHoxc13‐ablated rabbits
Rabbits lacking the Hoxc13 gene show similar hair and skin issues to humans with ECTD-9, making them good for research on this condition.
