8 / 8 resultsresearch Expression of a Dominant Negative Mutant of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor in the Epidermis of Transgenic Mice Elicits Striking Alterations in Hair Follicle Development and Skin Structure.
Blocking EGFR in mice causes hair loss and skin changes.
research Increased Expression of Keratin 16 Causes Anomalies in Cytoarchitecture and Keratinization in Transgenic Mouse Skin
This study demonstrates that overexpression of K16 in transgenic mice disrupts normal keratinization, leading to hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, and alterations in the skin's epithelial cells.
research Overexpression of Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein in the Skin of Transgenic Mice Interferes with Hair Follicle Development
This study found that overexpression of parathyroid hormone-related peptide in transgenic mice skin disrupted normal hair follicle development, suggesting a role for the peptide in the early stages of follicle formation.
research Mice With a Null Mutation of the TGFα Gene Have Abnormal Skin Architecture, Wavy Hair, and Curly Whiskers and Often Develop Corneal Inflammation
This study found that mice with a disrupted TGFα gene display a curly whisker-coat phenotype, similar to waved-1 mice, suggesting TGFα's crucial role in skin architecture and hair development.
research Targeting Expression of Keratinocyte Growth Factor to Keratinocytes Elicits Striking Changes in Epithelial Differentiation in Transgenic Mice
Keratinocyte growth factor significantly alters skin and tissue development.
research Cachexia and Graft-Versus-Host Disease-Type Skin Changes in Keratin Promoter-Driven TNF Alpha Transgenic Mice
This study reported that transgenic mice with targeted TNF alpha expression in keratinocytes showed impaired weight gain, retarded hair growth, and skin changes, leading to cachexia and necrosis.
research Interleukin 6: Insights Into Its Function in Skin by Overexpression in Transgenic Mice
In this study, IL-6 expression in transgenic mice thickened the stratum corneum without causing increased epidermal proliferation or inflammation, suggesting it may enhance skin protection rather than directly induce inflammation.
research Transgenic Mice Provide New Insights Into the Role of TGF-Alpha During Epidermal Development and Differentiation
This study observed that overexpression of TGF-alpha in transgenic mice led to thicker epidermis and stunted hair growth, particularly in regions with normally thick skin and low hair density.
