April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The research found that a protein called PPARg is important for the formation and healing of sebaceous glands, which can regenerate independently from hair follicles.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Aging changes skin cells, leading to different DNA methylation and gene activity, affecting cell metabolism and aging signs.
April 2023 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” SETDB1 is essential for controlling DNA methylation, silencing retrotransposons, and maintaining skin cell health, with its absence leading to skin inflammation and hair loss.
January 2023 in “International journal of biological sciences” COX2 and ATP synthase control the size of hedgehog spines.
Different genes and pathways are active in yak skin and hair cells, affecting hair growth and immune responses.
October 2021 in “Research Square (Research Square)” Melatonin affects certain genes and pathways involved in cashmere goat hair growth.
June 2021 in “Research Square (Research Square)” Melatonin can increase cashmere yield by altering gene expression and restarting the growth cycle early.
Moles may stop growing because of cell cooperation, not just because of aging cells.
June 2020 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” The enzymes Tet1, Tet2, and Tet3 are important for the development of hair follicles and determining hair shape by controlling hair keratin genes.
June 2020 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” Lef1 helps adult skin cells maintain their ability to heal wounds and regenerate hair, but the study's methods and conclusions have been questioned.
May 2019 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Age-related hair loss is linked to the decline and dysfunction of hair follicle stem cells.
