research The human gut chemical landscape predicts microbe-mediated biotransformation of foods and drugs
The study developed a tool to predict how gut microbes process foods and drugs, showing that similar compounds often share metabolic pathways and effects.
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 Signalling by senescent melanocytes hyperactivates hair growth
Senescent melanocytes can boost hair growth by activating hair stem cells.
research Metabolic and pathologic profiles of human LSS deficiency recapitulated in mice
Mice with LSS deficiency showed hair loss and cataracts, similar to humans, and can help in understanding and treating this condition.
research Newborn infant skin gene expression: Remarkable differences versus adults
Newborn skin is uniquely prepared to adapt to new environments compared to adult skin.
research Identification of key genes induced by platelet-rich plasma in human dermal papilla cells using bioinformatics methods
Platelet-rich plasma may help hair follicle cells grow by affecting certain genes and pathways.
research Histologic morphology and involucrin, filaggrin, and keratin expression in normal canine skin from dogs of different breeds and coat types
Different dog breeds have varying skin thickness and protein expression in their skin.
research Morpho‐regulation in diverse chicken feather formation: Integrating branching modules and sex hormone‐dependent morpho‐regulatory modules
Sex hormones, especially estradiol, can change chicken feather shapes and colors.
research Metabolic and transcriptomic reprogramming during contact inhibition-induced quiescence is mediated by YAP-dependent and YAP-independent mechanisms
Quiescent cells have increased mitochondrial activity and ECM gene expression, but reduced glycolysis.
research Wnt4 is crucial for cardiac repair by regulating mesenchymal-endothelial transition via the phospho-JNK/JNK
Wnt4 is essential for heart repair and could be a target for heart disease treatment.
research Novel Vitamin D Receptor Mutations in Hereditary Vitamin D Resistant Rickets in Chinese
New mutations in the VDR gene cause vitamin D-resistant rickets without hair loss.
research Cleave but not leave: Astrotactin proteins in development and disease
Astrotactin proteins are important for brain and skin development and are linked to several neurodevelopmental disorders.
research Identification and Characterisation of a Novel Pathogenic Mutation in the Human Lipodystrophy Gene AGPAT2
A new mutation in the AGPAT2 gene causes severe fat tissue loss and related health issues by reducing the protein's levels.
research Differential impact of environmental factors on systemic and localized autoimmunity
Environmental factors like diet and vitamin levels, especially Vitamin D, can affect autoimmune diseases differently, with lifestyle changes potentially improving outcomes.
research CD201+ fascia progenitors choreograph injury repair
CD201+ fascia progenitors are essential for wound healing and could be targeted for treating skin conditions.
research Effects of Hair dyes on Sequence Analysis of Hair Mitochondrial DNA Hypervariable Region 1
Hair dyes affect DNA analysis results, with the prepFiler kit working best for hair with follicles.
research A two-phase model of skin epidermal stratification: lessons from centrosomes
Removing centrosomes from skin cells leads to thinner skin and stops hair growth, but does not greatly affect skin cell differentiation.
research Montagna Symposium 2017—Precision Dermatology: Next Generation Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment
The symposium highlighted the importance of understanding disease mechanisms for targeted dermatology treatments.
research Impeding Glial Scarring Hyperplasia and Activating Axon Neogenesis via Immunomodulatory Microneedle Patch for Spinal Cord Repair
