990-1000 / 1000+ resultsresearch Construction of transcriptome atlas of white yak hair follicle during anagen and catagen using single-cell RNA sequencing
The research improved understanding of yak hair growth to help use yak wool better.
research Spatial transcriptomics reveals asymmetric cellular responses to injury in the regenerating spiny mouse (Acomys) ear
The spiny mouse regenerates ear tissue asymmetrically, with gene expression differences possibly explaining its unique healing abilities.
research FLCN regulates transferrin receptor 1 transport and iron homeostasis
FLCN helps control iron levels in cells.
research Novel splicing‐site mutation in DCAF17 gene causing Woodhouse‐Sakati syndrome in a large consanguineous family
A new mutation in the DCAF17 gene was found to cause Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome in a large family.
research Identification of reptilian genes encoding hair keratin-like proteins suggests a new scenario for the evolutionary origin of hair
Reptiles have genes similar to hair proteins, suggesting hair's genetic origins predate mammals.
research HIF‐2α/ARNT complex regulates hair development via induction of p21 Waf1/Cip1 and p27 Kip1
The HIF-2α/ARNT complex is important for hair follicle development by controlling cell growth.
research Structural changes in the trichocyte intermediate filaments accompanying the transition from the reduced to the oxidized form
Oxidation changes the structure of hair protein filaments, causing them to compact and rearrange.
research Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Hair Follicle–Specific Gene, Hacl-1
Researchers found a new gene, hacl-1, that is active in mouse hair follicles during hair growth and may be important for hair biology.
research Author response: Complementary evolution of coding and noncoding sequence underlies mammalian hairlessness
Hairlessness in mammals is caused by combined changes in genes and regulatory regions.
