research Aging in hair follicle stem cells and niche microenvironment
Aging in hair follicle stem cells leads to hair graying, thinning, and loss.
research Convergent Evolution of Cysteine-Rich Keratins in Hard Skin Appendages of Terrestrial Vertebrates
Cysteine-rich keratins evolved independently in mammals, reptiles, and birds for hard skin structures like hair, claws, and feathers.
research Increased lactate dehydrogenase activity is dispensable in squamous carcinoma cells of origin
High lactate dehydrogenase activity is not necessary for the growth of squamous cell carcinoma.
research The bright side of fibroblasts: molecular signature and regenerative cues in major organs
Fibroblasts, cells usually linked to tissue repair, also help regenerate various organs and their ability decreases with age. Turning adult fibroblasts back to a younger state could be a new treatment approach.
research Mapping the molecular and structural specialization of the skin basement membrane for inter-tissue interactions
The skin's basement membrane has specialized structures and molecules for different tissue interactions, important for hair growth and attachment.
research Cepharanthine, a regulator of keap1-Nrf2, inhibits gastric cancer growth through oxidative stress and energy metabolism pathway
Cepharanthine may help treat gastric cancer by causing cancer cell death and affecting energy use.
research Generation of Cashmere Goats Carrying an EDAR Gene Mutant Using CRISPR-Cas9-Mediated Genome Editing
CRISPR-Cas9 can successfully edit genes in large mammals like Cashmere goats.
research Planar cell polarity-dependent and independent functions in the emergence of tissue-scale hair follicle patterns
Mice can correct hair follicle orientation without certain genes, but proper overall alignment needs those genes.
research Cell wall-associated ROOT HAIR SPECIFIC 10, a proline-rich receptor-like kinase, is a negative modulator of Arabidopsis root hair growth
ROOT HAIR SPECIFIC 10 (RHS10) reduces the length of root hairs in Arabidopsis plants.
research The influence of interferon on healthy and diseased skin
Type I interferons play a key role in the development of various skin diseases.
research Dietary supplementation with Essential-oils-cobalt for improving growth performance, meat quality and skin cell capacity of goats
Essential-oils-cobalt improves goat growth and product quality.
research Therapeutic Potential of Patient iPSC-Derived iMelanocytes in Autologous Transplantation
Patient-derived melanocytes can potentially treat vitiligo by restoring skin pigmentation.
research An Ovol2‐Zeb1 transcriptional circuit regulates epithelial directional migration and proliferation
The Ovol2-Zeb1 circuit is crucial for skin healing and hair growth by guiding cell movement and growth.
research Hedychium spicatum: a systematic review on traditional uses, phytochemistry, pharmacology and future prospectus
Hedychium spicatum has medicinal properties but needs more research for scientific validation and use.
research A novel therapeutic paradigm for patients with extensive alopecia areata
New treatments targeting immune pathways show promise for severe hair loss but need more research for safety and effectiveness.
research Synaptic processes and immune-related pathways implicated in Tourette syndrome
The research suggests that Tourette syndrome is linked to both brain signaling and immune system pathways.
research Mechanism of TAp73 inhibition by ΔNp63 and structural basis of p63/p73 hetero-tetramerization
ΔNp63α stops TAp73β from working in skin cancer by blocking its access to specific genes, not by directly interacting with it.
research Possible contribution of chronobiology to cardiovascular health
Understanding and tracking our body's natural daily rhythms could help improve heart health.
research Differential expression analysis of balding and nonbalding dermal papilla microRNAs in male pattern baldness with a microRNA amplification profiling method
Certain microRNAs are more common in balding areas and might be involved in male pattern baldness.
research Elucidating the roles of three β-glucuronosyltransferases (GLCATs) acting on arabinogalactan-proteins using a CRISPR-Cas9 multiplexing approach in Arabidopsis
The study concluded that three enzymes are important for plant development by affecting sugar composition and calcium binding in plants.
research Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing of goat skins identifies signatures associated with hair cycling
DNA methylation changes are linked to hair growth cycles in goats.
