research FGFR2 is associated with hair thickness in Asian populations
A gene variation is linked to hair thickness in Asians.
research Pyruvate Kinase M2 Promotes Hair Regeneration by Connecting Metabolic and Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling
The enzyme pyruvate kinase M2 helps hair regrowth and could be a potential treatment for hair loss.
research Autologous Cell Therapy for Aged Human Skin: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Phase-I Study
RCS-01 therapy is safe and may improve skin structure by affecting gene expression.
research Transient Ca2+ entry by plasmalogen-mediated activation of receptor potential cation channel promotes AMPK activity
Plasmalogens activate a channel in cells that may stimulate hair growth.
research Skin-specific regulation of SREBP processing and lipid biosynthesis by glycerol kinase 5
A gene called Gk5 controls lipid production in the skin and affects hair growth.
research Immunolocalization of Enzymes, Binding Proteins, and Receptors Sufficient for Retinoic Acid Synthesis and Signaling During the Hair Cycle
Retinoic acid production and signaling in hair follicles are regulated by location and timing, affecting hair growth and cycling.
research Transcriptional regulation analysis and the potential transcription regulator site in the extended KAP6.1 promoter in sheep
research Hair keratin KRT81 is expressed in normal and breast cancer cells and contributes to their invasiveness
The hair keratin gene KRT81 is found in both normal and breast cancer cells and helps them invade surrounding tissues.
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 Cutaneous transcriptome analysis in NIH hairless mice
Key genes linked to hair growth and cancer were identified in hairless mice.
research Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase/Akt-Dependent and -Independent Protection Against Apoptosis in Normal Human Melanocytes
Normal human melanocytes can avoid cell death through multiple pathways.
research Booby Trap: Cancer gene spurs production of DNA-assaulting chemicals that alert and defuse rescue molecule (Cancer; Oxidative damage)
The cancer gene c-Myc increases harmful chemicals that damage DNA and can lead to cancer, but antioxidants can reduce this damage.
research Long-term live imaging, cell identification and cell tracking in regenerating crustacean legs
A new method allows detailed, continuous imaging of crustacean leg regeneration without harming the cells.
research The Rho GTPase regulator ARHGEF3 orchestrates hair placode budding by coordinating cell fate and P-cadherin patterning in mice
ARHGEF3 is essential for proper hair follicle development in mice.
research Interleukin-6 Null Mice Paradoxically Display Increased STAT3 Activity and Wound-Induced Hair Neogenesis
Mice without the IL-6 gene had more hair growth after injury due to higher activity of a related protein, Stat3.
research Characterisation, genomic organisation, expression and function of the mEphA1 receptor Tyrosine Kinase
mEphA1 receptor tyrosine kinase is important for skin and hair development and may play a role in certain diseases.
research A preview of selected articles
The document concludes that DNA methylation and the mTOR pathway are important for stem cell function and could impact disease treatment.
research State-dependent signaling by Cav1.2 regulates hair follicle stem cell function
Cav1.2 affects hair growth and could be a target for hair loss treatments.
research 688 Precise and efficient editing of the COL7A1 gene in RDEB derived iPSCs with CRISPR/Cas9 and prime editing
CRISPR/Cas9 and prime editing can potentially fix skin disorder genes safely and effectively.
research 1493 Dynamic changes in fibroblast subpopulations drives development of radiation-induced skin fibrosis through the fra/c-jun pathway
Radiation treatment causes skin fibrosis by increasing certain fibroblast subpopulations, but using a c-Jun inhibitor or fat grafting can reduce this effect.
research Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) expression is increased in acne patients' skin
Acne patients have higher levels of mTOR in their skin, which could be linked to future metabolic disease.
research Identification of the Rat Rex Mutation as a 7-bp Deletion at Splicing Acceptor Site of the Krt71 Gene
A gene mutation causes curly hair and hair loss in rats.
research P5 Assembly of hair keratins in thansfected cultured cells
research Single‐cell RNA sequencing highlights the role of proinflammatory fibroblasts, vascular endothelial cells, and immune cells in the keloid immune microenvironment
Proinflammatory fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells are key in keloid development.
research Analysis of hairless corepressor mutants to characterize molecular cooperation with the vitamin D receptor in promoting the mammalian hair cycle
Certain mutations in the hairless protein disrupt its ability to regulate the hair cycle.
