research Localization, Age- and Site-Dependent Expression, and Regulation of 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 in Skin
Increased 11β-HSD1 activity in skin may contribute to aging and could be targeted to reduce aging effects.
research Insights learned from L457(3.43)R, an activating mutant of the human lutropin receptor
The L457(3.43)R mutation in the human lutropin receptor causes increased activity and hormone insensitivity, leading to precocious puberty.
research The Rho GTPase regulator ARHGEF3 orchestrates hair placode budding by coordinating cell fate and P-cadherin patterning in mice
ARHGEF3 is essential for proper hair follicle development in mice.
research Differential Expression and Analysis of TBX3 Gene in Skin Tissues of Dun Mongolian Horses with and Without Bider Markings
TBX3 gene affects pigmentation and marking formation in Dun Mongolian horses.
research The targeted overexpression of a Claudin mutant in the epidermis of transgenic mice elicits striking epidermal and hair follicle abnormalities
research Identification and characterization of Birt–Hogg–Dubé associated renal carcinoma
Somatic BHD mutations are rare in Japanese renal tumors.
research An Ultra-high Sulfur Keratin Gene is Expressed Specifically During Hair Growth
research A Mouse Model for the Basal Transcription/DNA Repair Syndrome Trichothiodystrophy
Researchers created a mouse with the same mutation as humans with trichothiodystrophy, showing similar symptoms and confirming the condition is due to defects in DNA repair and gene activity.
research Computational derivation of a molecular framework for hair follicle biology from disease genes
The research provides a gene-based framework for hair biology, highlighting the Hippo pathway's importance and suggesting links between hair disorders, cancer pathways, and the immune system.
research A Splice Site Mutation in the Gene of the Human Type I Hair Keratin hHa1 Results in the Expression of a Tailless Keratin Isoform
A genetic mutation in the hHa1 gene creates a smaller, but still functional, hair protein without causing hair problems.
research EDA Missense Variant in a Cat with X-Linked Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia
A genetic mutation in the EDA gene causes hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia in cats.
research Interactions of the Vitamin D Receptor with the Corepressor Hairless
Most Hairless gene mutations reduce its ability to work with the Vitamin D Receptor, which might explain a certain type of hair loss.
research Enrichment and Characterization of Human Dermal Stem/Progenitor Cells by Intracellular Granularity
Scientists identified a unique type of human skin stem cell that could help with tissue repair.
research Expression of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 in visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome is associated with adiposity
Increased HSD11B1 enzyme expression is linked to higher body fat and insulin resistance.
research Steroidogenesis of the testis – new genes and pathways
New genes and pathways are important for testosterone production and male sexual development.
research Differential Gene Expression Screening Between Black and Gray Hairs Using Subtractive Library and DNA Chip
Black hairs have more pigment-related genes, while gray hairs have more keratin-related genes.
research Morphologic and molecular characterization of two novel Krt71 (Krt2-6g) mutations: Krt71 rco12 and Krt71 rco13
research Hereditary Vitamin D Resistant Rickets: Clinical, Laboratory, and Genetic Characteristics of 2 Iranian Siblings
Two siblings with a genetic mutation had a form of rickets that doesn't respond to vitamin D.
research Differential distribution and genetic determination of eccrine sweat glands and hair follicles in the volar skin of C57BL/6 mice and SD rats
C57BL/6 mice and SD rats have different sweat gland and hair follicle patterns, useful for skin research.
research Establishment of dermal sheath cell line from Cashmere goat and characterizing cytokeratin 13 as its novel biomarker
Scientists created a new cell line from Cashmere goat hair and found that cytokeratin 13 is a unique marker for certain skin cells.
research The cDNA-deduced amino acid sequence for trichohyalin, a differentiation marker in the hair follicle, contains a 23 amino acid repeat.
Trichohyalin, a hair follicle protein, has a part with repeating patterns of 23 amino acids.
research Novel Hairless Mutations in Two Kindreds with Autosomal Recessive Papular Atrichia
New mutations in the hairless gene may cause hair loss and affect bone development.
research Transgenic HPV11-E2 protein modulates URR activity in vivo
The E2 protein affects gene activity in hair follicles of mice.
research Transcriptome Sequencing and Mass Spectrometry Reveal Genes Involved in the Non-mendelian Inheritance-Mediated Feather Growth Rate in Chicken
