A specific gene mutation causes severe skin and nail issues and hair loss.
research 644 Tumor cell adhesion as a risk factor for SLN metastasis and predictor of disease recurrence in primary cutaneous melanoma
Tumor cell adhesion is linked to higher risk of SLN metastasis and melanoma recurrence, and a model including these factors predicts these outcomes better than one with just clinical data.
research Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia Associated With PDL1 Loss and Increased Expression of Caspase 3: A Case Series
CCCA may involve the PD1/PDL1 pathway and increased caspase 3, leading to permanent hair loss.
research Abstract 4385: Live-imaging the interface between homeostasis and cancer initiation
Mutant cells in hair follicles are influenced by their location and interactions with surrounding cells.
research 376 Tsc2 disruption in mesenchymal progenitors regulates hair follicles and TGF beta signaling
Disrupting the Tsc2 gene in certain cells leads to thicker skin, larger hair, and changes in hair growth signaling, which can be partly reversed with specific treatment.
