research Ancient lineages of the keratin-associated protein (KRTAP) genes and their co- option in the evolution of the hair follicle
Keratin-associated proteins have ancient origins and were used for different purposes before being adapted for hair in mammals.
research Female pattern hair loss
Hair loss in women is genetic, diagnosed by examination and biopsy, and treated with minoxidil, finasteride, or transplantation.
research The Lysosomal Protease Cathepsin L Is an Important Regulator of Keratinocyte and Melanocyte Differentiation During Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Cycling
Cathepsin L is essential for normal hair growth and development.
research The disintegrin/metalloproteinase Adam10 is essential for epidermal integrity and Notch-mediated signaling
Adam10 enzyme is crucial for healthy skin and proper Notch signaling.
research Male androgenetic alopecia
DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.
research Decreased Androgen Receptor Gene Methylation in Premature Pubarche: A Novel Pathogenetic Mechanism?
Reduced AR gene methylation may cause early pubic hair growth in girls.
research Lichen planus and other cutaneous manifestations in chronic hepatitis C: pre- and post-interferon-based treatment prevalence vary in a cohort of patients from low hepatitis C virus endemic area
Skin problems like itching, dry skin, and hair loss are more common in hepatitis C patients after interferon treatment, but lichen planus is not linked to the infection.
research Activation of β-Catenin Signaling in CD133-Positive Dermal Papilla Cells Drives Postnatal Hair Growth
Activating β-catenin in certain skin cells speeds up hair growth in mice.
research Cloning of the human phenol sulfotransferase gene family: three genes implicated in the metabolism of catecholamines, thyroid hormones and drugs
Scientists identified three genes important for processing certain brain chemicals, thyroid hormones, and medications.
research Investigation of four novel male androgenetic alopecia susceptibility loci: no association with female pattern hair loss
No link found between new male baldness genes and female hair loss.
research Association of mtDNA M/N haplogroups with systemic lupus erythematosus: a case-control study of Han Chinese women
The mtDNA N haplogroup is linked to a higher risk of late-onset lupus and specific symptoms in Han Chinese women.
research Novel adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette, subfamily A, member 12 (ABCA12) mutations associated with congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma
New ABCA12 gene mutations were linked to a skin condition with scaling and hair loss, and a treatment helped with hair loss in a related case.
research Association of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in the CYP19A1 Gene with Female Pattern Hair Loss in a Chinese Population
Two gene variations, rs6493497 and rs7176005, may be linked to female hair loss in Chinese people.
research Spherical Nucleic Acids as Emerging Topical Therapeutics: A Focus on Psoriasis
New topical treatment using spherical nucleic acids shows promise in reducing psoriasis inflammation.
research Selection signatures in goats reveal a novel deletion mutant underlying cashmere yield and diameter
A specific genetic deletion in goats affects cashmere yield and thickness.
research 138 Characterization of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes of a reconstructed human epidermal model from adult hair follicles
The reconstructed skin model from hair follicles functions like human skin in processing chemicals and can be used to test ingredient safety.
research 195 Androgen action and 3D culture conditions influence dermal papilla cells inductive properties: the role of Wnt agonists/antagonists balance
DHT reduces a cell's ability to promote hair growth, while 3D culture without DHT improves it.
research 197 A novel splice site mutation in LIPH identified in a Japanese patient with autosomal recessive woolly hair
Researchers found a new genetic mutation linked to a hair condition in a Japanese boy.
research 196 The endocannabinoid tone regulates human sebocyte biology
The endocannabinoid system affects oil production and inflammation in skin cells.
research 194 An underlying mechanism of hair loss in acrodermatitis enteropathica
Zinc deficiency disrupts hair growth and cycle, but zinc supplements can fix this.
research 192 MicroRNAs and their regulatory interactions in the human hair follicle
The research found that certain microRNAs are important for human hair growth and health.
research Androgen Biosynthesis and Gene Defects
Gene mutations can cause problems in male genital development.
research Main Plenary Sessions: Summaries of Papers
UK medical students lack dermatology education, liver biopsy patients with risk factors show more fibrosis, and certain fungi resist drugs due to melanin; genetics may influence female hair loss.
research Selected Abstracts
Parthenolide promotes hair growth in mice and may influence pathways related to male pattern baldness.
research 616 Endoplasmic reticulum stress upregulates NKG2D ligands in the hair follicle
Stress in hair follicle cells increases certain immune-related proteins, which might contribute to hair loss conditions.
research 193 Unveiling the role of estradiol in the pathogenesis of female pattern hair loss
research Topical Melatonin for Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
