research Phospholipase A2 inhibition as potential therapy for inflammatory skin diseases
Inhibiting PLA2 enzymes may help treat inflammatory skin diseases like psoriasis and dermatitis.
research No evidence for THAP1/DYT6 variants as disease modifiers in DYT1 dystonia
THAP1 gene changes do not affect DYT1 dystonia; finasteride may help reduce tics and OCD in Tourette syndrome.
research Concerted gene duplications in the two keratin gene families
research TSPO activation modulates the effects of high pressure in a rat ex vivo glaucoma model
Activating TSPO helps protect the retina from damage caused by high eye pressure in glaucoma.

research Enzymes
Enzymes play crucial roles in metabolism, health, and disease management.
research Clonal Growth of Dermal Papilla Cells in Hydrogels Reveals Intrinsic Differences between Sox2-Positive and -Negative Cells In Vitro and In Vivo
Sox2-positive dermal papilla cells have unique characteristics and contribute more to skin and hair follicle formation than Sox2-negative cells.
research The Critical Roles of Serum/Glucocorticoid-Regulated Kinase 3 (SGK3) in the Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Homeostasis
SGK3 is essential for proper hair growth and health.
research Characterization and Chromosomal Localization of Human Hair-Specific Keratin Genes and Comparative Expression During the Hair Growth Cycle
Two specific hair keratin genes are active during hair growth and decline as hair transitions to rest.
research MALE PSEUDOHERMAPHRODITISM DUE TO 17β-HYDROXYSTEROID DEHYDROGENASE DEFICIENCY: STUDIES ON THE NATURAL HISTORY OF THE DEFECT AND EFFECT OF ANDROGENS ON GENDER ROLE
Masculinization in affected individuals occurs gradually after puberty due to hormone changes.
research Optimal stimulation toward the dermal papilla lineage can be promoted by combined use of osteogenic and adipogenic inducers
Combining specific inducers helps dermal papilla cells regain hair-forming ability.
research Cytoprotective effects of paeoniflorin are associated with translocator protein 18 kDa
Paeoniflorin protects brain cells by involving a specific protein and neurosteroids.
research Rps14 upregulation promotes inner ear progenitor proliferation and hair cell regeneration in the neonatal mouse cochlea
Increasing Rps14 helps grow more inner ear cells and repair hearing cells in baby mice.
research Ultraviolet-Induced Fluorescence and Sub-Ultraviolet Reflectance Dermatoscopy of Grover’s Disease (Transient Acantholytic Dermatosis): a Retrospective Single-Center Cohort Study
Ultraviolet techniques help identify Grover’s Disease, which may be underdiagnosed in young people and females.
research Ornithine decarboxylase is upregulated by the androgen receptor in skeletal muscle and regulates myoblast proliferation
Androgens increase muscle mass by promoting myoblast growth through ornithine decarboxylase.
research The TIP GROWTH DEFECTIVE1 S-Acyl Transferase Regulates Plant Cell Growth in Arabidopsis
The TIP1 gene is crucial for normal plant cell growth in Arabidopsis.
