research Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Hair Follicle–Specific Gene, Hacl-1
Researchers found a new gene, hacl-1, that is active in mouse hair follicles during hair growth and may be important for hair biology.
research Atrichia with papular lesions resulting from a novel insertion mutation in the human hairless gene
Researchers found a new mutation causing total hair loss from birth.
research Proof-of-Principle Study of Inflammasome Signaling Proteins as Diagnostic Biomarkers of the Inflammatory Response in Parkinson’s Disease
Inflammasome proteins may help diagnose and treat Parkinson's disease.
research The probable destructive mechanisms behind COVID-19 on male reproduction system and fertility
COVID-19 may harm male fertility and damage the reproductive system.
research Genetics of Structural Hair Disorders
The document concludes that over 500 genes are linked to hair disorders and this knowledge is important for creating new treatments.
research A Fibrous Hybrid Patch Couples Cell-Derived Matrix and Poly(l -lactide-co-caprolactone) for Endothelial Cells Delivery and Skin Wound Repair
The new patch made of cell matrix and a polymer improves wound healing and supports blood vessel growth.
research Stem cell apoptosis in HIV‐1 alopecia
HIV-1 may cause increased stem cell death in hair follicles, leading to hair loss.
research Epimorphin expression during human foetal hair follicle development
Epimorphin, a protein, plays a key role in the development of hair follicles in human fetuses, but it doesn't help in maintaining the stem cell population of the follicular skin layer.
research Characterization of the Promoter Regions of Two Sheep Keratin-Associated Protein Genes for Hair Cortex-Specific Expression
The KRTAP11-1 gene promoter is crucial for specific expression in sheep wool cortex.
research Overexpression of Lnk in the Ovaries Is Involved in Insulin Resistance in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Higher Lnk protein levels in ovaries may lead to insulin resistance in women with PCOS.
research Bio-macromolecules/modified-halloysite composite hydrogel used as multi-functional wound dressing
The new hydrogel is good for wound dressing because it absorbs water quickly, has high porosity, can release drugs, fights bacteria, and helps wounds heal with less scarring.
research Identification of the Ovine Keratin-Associated Protein 21-1 Gene and Its Association with Variation in Wool Traits
The KRTAP21-1 gene affects wool yield and can help improve wool production.
research Deciphering the Mesodermal Potency of Porcine Skin-Derived Progenitors (SKP) by Microarray Analysis
Pig skin cells can turn into mesodermal cells but lose their ability to become neural cells.
research Immunoreactivity of the SARS-CoV-2 entry proteins ACE-2 and TMPRSS-2 in murine models of hormonal manipulation, ageing, and cardiac injury
Age affects how certain proteins involved in COVID-19 infection are expressed in mice, but sex hormones and heart injury do not.
research Multimodal imaging of hair follicle bulge-derived stem cells in a mouse model of traumatic brain injury
Hair follicle stem cells might help treat traumatic brain injury.
research The Thinning Top: Why Old People Have Less Hair
Old people have less hair because their hair follicles don't regenerate as well, not because of fewer stem cells, and a protein called follistatin might help reactivate hair growth.
research Maternal androgen excess inhibits fetal cardiomyocytes proliferation through RB-mediated cell cycle arrest and induces cardiac hypertrophy in adulthood
Excess maternal androgens can cause heart problems in offspring.
research Immunocosmeceuticals: An emerging trend in repairing human hair damage
Immuno-cosmeceuticals from chicken egg yolk can effectively repair and improve damaged hair.
research Unveiling the Nuances of Adult Female Acne: A Comprehensive Exploration of Epidemiology, Treatment Modalities, Dermocosmetics, and the Menopausal Influence
Adult female acne is a complex condition that can worsen with menopause, requiring holistic treatment and tailored skincare at different life stages.
research 026 Targeting pathogenic MICA-NKG2D interactions by statins: A novel adjunct treatment strategy for alopecia areata management?
Statins may help treat alopecia areata by reducing harmful immune interactions.
research Steroidogenic factor-1 lineage origin of skin lesions in Carney complex syndrome
Skin lesions in Carney complex are likely caused by a specific group of skin cells that promote pigment production due to a genetic mutation.
research In focus in HCB
The May issue discussed publishing agreements and four studies on cholesterol in hair, cancer cell changes, hormones in the uterus, and skin protein effects.
research 613 Bacteria induce skin regeneration via IL-1β signaling
Bacteria can help skin regenerate through a process called IL-1β signaling.
research 474 Stabilizing mutations of KLHL24 ubiquitin ligase cause loss of keratin 14 and human skin fragility
Certain mutations in the KLHL24 gene cause a skin disorder by breaking down an important skin protein.
research 616 Endoplasmic reticulum stress upregulates NKG2D ligands in the hair follicle
Stress in hair follicle cells increases certain immune-related proteins, which might contribute to hair loss conditions.
research 644 Tumor cell adhesion as a risk factor for SLN metastasis and predictor of disease recurrence in primary cutaneous melanoma
Tumor cell adhesion is linked to higher risk of SLN metastasis and melanoma recurrence, and a model including these factors predicts these outcomes better than one with just clinical data.
research The Browning of White Adipose Tissue: Some Burning Issues
Turning white fat into brown-like fat could help fight obesity and type 2 diabetes.
research Commentary on: Hairless and the polyamine putrescine form a negative regulatory loop in the epidermis
The commentary explains that a balance of HR protein and putrescine is important for normal hair growth.
research Advances in the genetic understanding of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia
Scientists now better understand the genetics of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, leading to more accurate diagnoses and potential new treatments.
