Research cited in this study

3 / 3 results

research Enhanced Ectodysplasin-A Receptor Signaling Alters Multiple Fiber Characteristics to Produce the East Asian Hair Form

98 citations , June 2008 in “Human mutation”

This study found that a genetic variant in the EDAR gene leads to typical East Asian hair characteristics by increasing signaling output, as shown in transgenic mice experiments.

research TNF Superfamily in Skin Appendage Development

86 citations , May 2008 in “Cytokine & growth factor reviews”

This review discusses recent discoveries about the role of Eda and other TNF-related cytokines in skin appendage development and reports no new experimental results, highlighting developments since the last comprehensive summary in 2003.

research Molecular Principles of Hair Follicle Induction and Morphogenesis

479 citations , January 2005 in “BioEssays”

This review introduces the morphological and molecular principles of hair follicle development but reports no new experimental results, focusing on recent insights and forming a working hypothesis.
