750-780 / 1000+ resultsresearch Lgr6+ cells in the biological system during homeostasis and injury
Lgr6+ cells are important for tissue repair and could be a target for treating cancer and other diseases.
research An ERK-dependent molecular switch antagonizes fibrosis and promotes regeneration in spiny mice ( Acomys )
High levels of ERK activity are key for tissue regeneration in spiny mice, and activating ERK can potentially redirect scar-forming healing towards regenerative healing in mammals.
research Hedgehog signaling reprograms hair follicle niche fibroblasts to a hyper-activated state
Overactivating Hedgehog signaling makes hair follicle cells in mice grow hair faster and create more follicles.
research Expression of a dominant negative mutant of epidermal growth factor receptor in the epidermis of transgenic mice elicits striking alterations in hair follicle development and skin structure.
Blocking EGFR in mice causes hair loss and skin changes.
research Functional Characterization offer-ts, a Temperature-Sensitive FERONIA Mutant Allele That Alters Root Hair Growth
The fer-ts mutation in plants prevents root hair growth at high temperatures.
research 376 Tsc2 disruption in mesenchymal progenitors regulates hair follicles and TGF beta signaling
Disrupting the Tsc2 gene in certain cells leads to thicker skin, larger hair, and changes in hair growth signaling, which can be partly reversed with specific treatment.
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.
research Mutant Cx43 in Skin Differentiation and Disease
Mutant Cx43 causes slower wound healing and hair growth issues in ODDD.
research Region-specific reversal of epidermal planar polarity in the rosette fancy mouse
Hair follicles in the back of the rosette fancy mouse have reversed orientations due to a gene mutation.
