wasabi leaf extract 6-methylsulfinylhexyl isothiocyanate isosaponarin cytokine dermal papilla cells gene expression next-generation sequencing wasabi extract

Studysummary In this study, human dermal papilla cells exposed to wasabi leaf extract showed changes in cytokine-related gene expression, which the authors suggest could help clarify the biological effects of wasabi.

research Comprehensive Transcriptome Data to Identify Downstream Genes of Testosterone Signaling in Dermal Papilla Cells

November 2022 in “Scientific Data”

This study identified downstream genes regulated by androgen receptor signaling in dermal papilla cells and suggests potential molecular targets for treating androgenetic alopecia and prostate cancer.

research Transcriptome Analysis to Identify the Downstream Genes of Androgen Receptor in Dermal Papilla Cells

1 citations , January 2022 in “BMC Genomic Data”

In this study, researchers found that androgen receptor activation in dermal papilla cells mainly affected the focal adhesion pathway and downregulated caveolin-1 gene expression, which could help identify new therapeutic targets for testosterone-related diseases.

8 citations , March 2020 in “Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology”

This study developed a DPC cell line by introducing mutant CDK4, Cyclin D1, and TERT, making it a promising tool to study downstream signaling pathways activated by testosterone in androgenetic alopecia.

research BMP Signaling in the Control of Skin Development and Hair Follicle Growth

165 citations , December 2004 in “Differentiation”

This review discusses the critical role of BMP signaling in the development and regulation of skin and hair follicles and notes that further research could aid therapeutic advances; it presents no new clinical results.
