research Efficient Silencing of Androgen Receptor Gene via UTR-Targeting siRNAs for Androgenetic Alopecia Therapy
AR-27 E-Chol siRNA can effectively regrow hair by reducing androgen receptor gene activity.
research Transgenic mice display hair loss and regrowth overexpressing mutant Hr gene
Mice with a changed Hr gene lose and regrow hair due to changes in the gene's activity.
research Regulation of somatic cell reprogramming through inducible mir-302 expression
Increasing mir-302 turns human hair cells into stem cells by changing gene regulation and demethylation.
research Conversion of C57Bl/6 mice from a tumor promotion–resistant to a –sensitive phenotype by enhanced ornithine decarboxylase expression
