research Hair Keratin Associated Proteins: Characterization of a Second High Sulfur KAP Gene Domain on Human Chromosome 2111In fond memory of Dr Peter Steinert.
A second domain of high sulfur KAP genes on chromosome 21q23 is crucial for hair structure.
research Treatment of MSCs with Wnt1a-conditioned medium activates DP cells and promotes hair follicle regrowth
Wnt1a-conditioned medium from stem cells helps activate cells important for hair growth and can promote hair regrowth.
research Lineage Analysis of Epidermal Stem Cells
Skin stem cells maintain and repair the outer layer of skin, with some types being essential for healing wounds.
research Bi-allelic Mutations in LSS, Encoding Lanosterol Synthase, Cause Autosomal-Recessive Hypotrichosis Simplex
Mutations in the LSS gene cause a rare type of hereditary hair loss.
research p63: a crucial player in epithelial stemness regulation
p63 is essential for controlling epithelial stem cells and tissue health.
research Significance of the polyglutamine tract polymorphism in the androgen receptor
The length of the CAG repeat in the androgen receptor gene affects the risk and progression of prostate cancer, BPH, infertility, and undermasculinized genitalia.
research Bacteria induce skin regeneration via IL-1β signaling
Skin bacteria, specifically Staphylococcus aureus, help in wound healing and hair growth by using IL-1β signaling. Using antibiotics on skin wounds can slow down this natural healing process.
research High proliferation and delamination during skin epidermal stratification
High proliferation and cell delamination drive early skin development, while later stages may not rely on cell division orientation.
research Treatment of Male Pattern Baldness with Botulinum Toxin: A Pilot Study
Botox increased hair count in men with baldness and might work by improving scalp blood flow.
research Adaptations in the structure and innervation of follicle‐sinus complexes to an aquatic environment as seen in the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris)
Manatee whiskers are specially adapted for touch in water.
research Activin B Promotes BMSC-Mediated Cutaneous Wound Healing by Regulating Cell Migration via the JNK—ERK Signaling Pathway
Activin B improves wound healing and hair growth by helping stem cells move using certain cell signals.
research Toxicologic studies with the hypotensive agent minoxidil
Minoxidil is mostly safe, but high doses can cause electrolyte imbalances and heart issues in dogs.
research Eph/ephrin signaling in epidermal differentiation and disease
Eph/ephrin signaling is important for skin cell behavior and could be targeted to treat skin diseases.
research Keratin network modifications lead to the mechanical stiffening of the hair follicle fiber
Changes in keratin make hair follicles stiffer.
research TCL1 transgenic mouse model as a tool for the study of therapeutic targets and microenvironment in human B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia
The TCL1 transgenic mouse model is useful for understanding human B-cell leukemia and testing new treatments.
research Proteomic tools for the investigation of human hair structural proteins and evidence of weakness sites on hair keratin coil segments
Hair proteins have weak spots in their α-helical segments.
research Mammalian Fetal Organ Regeneration
Fetal wounds heal without scarring because of different biological factors, which could help improve adult wound healing.
research Transepidermal UV radiation of scalp skin ex vivo induces hair follicle damage that is alleviated by the topical treatment with caffeine
Caffeine applied to the scalp can protect hair follicles from UV damage.
research Glucocorticoid Receptor Mutants Demonstrate Increased Motility Inside the Nucleus of Living Cells: Time of Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) Is an Integrated Measure of Receptor Function
Certain defective glucocorticoid receptor mutants move faster inside cell nuclei and work less effectively.
research Structure of human steroid 5α-reductase 2 with the anti-androgen drug finasteride
Finasteride irreversibly affects human steroid 5α-reductase 2, providing insight into its catalytic mechanism and disease-related mutations.
research Variation in the caprine keratin-associated protein 15-1 (KAP15-1) gene affects cashmere fibre diameter
The KRTAP15-1 gene affects cashmere fiber thickness in goats.
research Deficient Plakophilin-1 Expression Due to a Mutation in PKP1 Causes Ectodermal Dysplasia-Skin Fragility Syndrome in Chesapeake Bay Retriever Dogs
A PKP1 gene mutation causes skin fragility and hair loss in Chesapeake Bay retriever puppies.
research KERATINS AND SKIN DISORDERS
Changes in keratin affect skin health and can lead to skin disorders like blistering diseases and psoriasis.
research Conditional knock out of N-WASP in keratinocytes causes skin barrier defects and atopic dermatitis-like inflammation
N-WASP is essential for healthy skin and preventing inflammation.
research Size Polymorphisms in the Human Ultrahigh Sulfur Hair Keratin-Associated Protein 4, KAP4, Gene Family
The study found that variations in hair protein genes are likely due to evolutionary deletions or duplications.
research Cloning, expression and characterization of rhesus macaque types 1 and 2 5alpha-Reductase: evidence for mechanism-Based inhibition by finasteride
Finasteride inhibits enzyme activity in rhesus macaques, suggesting they're useful for evaluating similar drugs.
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.
