research Oxidative DNA Damage Accelerates Skin Inflammation in Pristane-Induced Lupus Model
Loss of OGG1 increases skin inflammation and auto-antibodies in lupus.
research Comparison of minoxidil sulfotransferase activity between scalp hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes: Implication for minoxidil efficacy for off‐label use
Minoxidil is less effective on eyebrows and eyelashes than scalp hair because these areas have lower enzyme activity needed to activate the drug.
research Mutations in ABCB6 Cause Dyschromatosis Universalis Hereditaria
Mutations in the ABCB6 gene cause Dyschromatosis Universalis Hereditaria.
research Colorimetric assay for γ-glutamyl transpeptidase
The document concludes that measuring γ-glutamyl transpeptidase activity is more accurate with a higher substrate concentration and using diluted acetic acid to stop the reaction.
