A new method using 1,4-n-butylene dimaleate effectively repairs and strengthens damaged hair.
research Inducible deletion of epidermal Dicer and Drosha reveals multiple functions for miRNAs in postnatal skin
Drosha and Dicer are essential for hair follicle health and preventing DNA damage in skin cells.
research Identification of factors contributing to phenotypic divergence via quantitative image analyses of autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis with homozygous c.736T>ALIPH mutation
Different hair fiber development might explain why hair loss severity varies in patients with a specific genetic mutation, and treatments that thicken hair could help.
research A Synonymous Polymorphism of APCDD1 Affects Translation Efficacy and is Associated with Androgenic Alopecia
A certain gene variation can affect protein production and is linked to male pattern baldness.
research Further errors in polymorph identification: furosemide and finasteride
Errors found in identifying furosemide and finasteride polymorphs due to incomplete data.
research 464 Phenotypic heterogeneity of epidermolysis bullosa associated with the recurrent pathogenic variant p.(Arg2000Trp) in plectin
The specific skin disease variant p.(Arg2000Trp) in plectin can cause a wide range of symptoms, which should be considered when diagnosing patients.
research The naked truth: Sphynx and Devon Rex cat breed mutations in KRT71
Sphynx cats are hairless and Devon Rex cats have curly hair due to specific genetic mutations.
research Gene detection in a family with monilethrix and treatment with 5% topical minoxidil
5% topical minoxidil improves hair density and quality in monilethrix patients.
research A second KRT 71 allele in curly coated dogs
A new gene variant causes curly coats in some dog breeds.
research The Noggin null mouse phenotype is strain dependent and haploinsufficiency leads to skeletal defects
Noggin gene inactivation causes skeletal defects in mice, varying by genetic background.
research A novel mutation in the FERMT1 gene in a Spanish family with Kindler’s syndrome
Researchers found a new mutation in the FERMT1 gene in a Spanish family with Kindler syndrome.
research 312 CRISPR/Cas9-based targeted genome editing for correction of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa using iPS cells
The research showed that CRISPR/Cas9 can fix mutations causing a skin disease in stem cells, which then improved skin grafts in mice, but more work on safety and efficiency is needed.
research T Cell Immunodeficiency, Congenital Alopecia, and Nail Dystrophy
A rare genetic mutation causes severe immune issues, hair loss, and nail problems.
research Novel Androgen Receptor Gene Variant Containing a Premature Termination Codon in a Patient with Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome
A new genetic change causing early stop in the androgen receptor gene was found in a patient with androgen insensitivity syndrome.
research Deficiency of the human cysteine protease inhibitor cystatin M/E causes hypotrichosis and dry skin
Lack of cystatin M/E causes thin hair and dry skin.
research Disruption of P2RY5, an orphan G protein–coupled receptor, underlies autosomal recessive woolly hair
Mutations in the P2RY5 gene cause autosomal recessive woolly hair.
research Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T mutation in patients with alopecia areata in Turkish population
The MTHFR C677T mutation may increase the risk of alopecia areata in the Turkish population.
research Clinicopathological insights into the phenotypic variation of autosomal recessive hypotrichosis/wooly hair by c.736T>A LIPH mutation
The conclusion is that the variation in hair thinness in patients is mostly due to the amount of underdeveloped hairs, and treatments that thicken fine hairs might work for those with mild to severe conditions.
research Data from Spontaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Induced by the Somatic Inactivation of Retinoblastoma and Trp53 Tumor Suppressors
Loss of the p53 gene alone causes tumors, and losing both p53 and Rb genes speeds up aggressive skin cancer.
research Atrichia with papular lesions in two Pakistani consanguineous families resulting from mutations in the human hairless gene
research Twist2 contributes to skin regeneration and hair follicle formation in mouse fetuses
Twist2 is essential for scarless skin healing and hair growth in mouse fetuses.
research The lanceolate hair rat phenotype results from a missense mutation in a calcium coordinating site of the desmoglein 4 gene
A gene mutation causes lanceolate hair in rats by disrupting hair shaft integrity.
research iRhom2 Mutation Leads to Aberrant Hair Follicle Differentiation in Mice
A mutation in the iRhom2 gene causes hairless mice due to abnormal hair follicle development.
research Par3–mInsc and Gαi3 cooperate to promote oriented epidermal cell divisions through LGN
Par3–mInsc and Gαi3 work together to ensure proper cell division orientation in skin development.
research 1386 Trichodysplasia spinulosa small T antigen drives ectopic hair follicle development in adult transgenic mice
