450-480 / 1000+ resultsresearch Changes in expression of the neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor gene in the medial amygdala of transgenic mice during pregnancy and after delivery
Pregnancy-related hormone changes affect Y1 receptor gene expression in mice.
research Selective Elimination of NG2-Expressing Hair Follicle Stem Cells Exacerbates the Sensitization Phase of Contact Dermatitis in a Transgenic Rat Model
Removing certain hair follicle stem cells worsens skin reactions to allergens.
research Role of the bone morphogenetic protein signalling in skin carcinogenesis. Effect of transgenic overexpression of BMP antognist Noggin on skin tumour development; molecular mechanisms underlying tumour suppressive role of the BMP signalling in skin.
BMP signaling helps prevent skin tumors by blocking cancer-promoting pathways.
research Increased expression of the gene for the Y1 receptor of neuropeptide Y in the amygdala and paraventricular nucleus of Y1R/LacZ transgenic mice in response to restraint stress
Acute stress increases Y1 receptor gene expression in certain brain areas, but repeated stress does not.
research Modulation of neuropeptide Y and Y1 receptor expression in the amygdala by fluctuations in the brain content of neuroactive steroids during ethanol drinking discontinuation in Y1R/LacZ transgenic mice
Stopping alcohol after long-term use causes anxiety and changes brain chemicals.
research The human keratins: biology and pathology
Keratins are crucial for cell stability, wound healing, and cancer diagnosis.

Epithelial stem cells are crucial for tissue renewal and repair, and understanding them could improve treatments for damage and cancer.
research Conditional telomerase induction causes proliferation of hair follicle stem cells
Activating TERT in mice skin boosts hair growth by waking up hair follicle stem cells.
research Induction of basal cell carcinomas and trichoepitheliomas in mice overexpressing GLI-1
Overexpressing GLI-1 in mice skin can cause tumors like human basal cell carcinomas.
research Sox2-positive dermal papilla cells specify hair follicle type in mammalian epidermis
Sox2-positive cells determine specific hair follicle types in mammals.
research Onset of Keratin 17 Expression Coincides with the Definition of Major Epithelial Lineages during Skin Development
Keratin 17 is important for skin development and may help define skin cell types.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cells Provide a Functional Niche for Melanocyte Stem Cells
COL17A1 is crucial for preventing hair graying and loss by supporting hair and pigment stem cells.
research Hair follicle aging is driven by transepidermal elimination of stem cells via COL17A1 proteolysis
Hair loss and aging are caused by the breakdown of a key protein in hair stem cells.
research The epidermis: rising to the surface
The document concludes that recent research has improved understanding of skin diseases and the balance between cell growth and differentiation in the epidermis.
research The role of keratin proteins and their genes in the growth, structure and properties of hair
Keratin proteins and their genes are crucial for hair growth and structure.
research Hairless triggers reactivation of hair growth by promoting Wnt signaling
The HR protein helps hair grow by blocking a hair growth inhibitor, aiding in hair follicle regeneration.
research Animal Models of Psoriasis – What Can We Learn from Them?
Rodent models helped understand psoriasis but none perfectly replicated the disease.
research Targeting Expression of the Human Vitamin D Receptor to the Keratinocytes of Vitamin D Receptor Null Mice Prevents Alopecia
Expressing the human vitamin D receptor in skin cells prevents hair loss in certain mice.
