Glossary Bone Morphogenetic Protein 6

protein involved in bone development and hair follicle regulation

Bone Morphogenetic Protein 6 (BMP6) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the development and repair of bones and cartilage. It is part of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) superfamily and is involved in various biological processes, including the regulation of hair follicle growth and differentiation.

Bone Morphogenetic Proteins Are Critical Factors for Hair Follicle Epithelial-Mesenchymal Interactions in Androgenetic Alopecia

research BONE MORPHOGENETIC PROTEINS ARE CRITICAL FACTORS FOR HAIR FOLLICLE EPITHELIAL –MESENCHYMAL INTERACTIONS IN ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA

September 2017

This study concluded that bone morphogenetic proteins are crucial for hair follicle stem cell differentiation and that their downregulation by androgens may contribute to the development of androgenetic alopecia.

research Anti-wrinkle effect of bone morphogenetic protein receptor 1a-extracellular domain (BMPR1a-ECD)

5 citations , September 2013 in “BMB Reports”

In this study, the anti-wrinkle effect of bone morphogenetic protein receptor 1a extracellular domain was significantly greater than that of retinoic acid in a mouse model, suggesting potential for BMP antagonists in skin or hair treatments.

research Alopecia universalis treated with bone morphogenetic protein?

3 citations , November 2005 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

In this case study, a 21-year-old man with alopecia universalis experienced temporary hair regrowth after treatment with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 following a tibial fracture.

research The stem cell quiescence and niche signaling is disturbed in the hair follicle of the hairpoor mouse, an MUHH model mouse

2 citations , May 2022 in “Stem cell research & therapy”

This study found that hair follicle stem cells in the hairpoor mouse, a model for Marie-Unna hypotrichosis, lose their quiescent state, leading to a disordered hair cycle and contributing to alopecia.

research AP collagen peptides improve hair growth and quality by promoting human hair cell proliferation and keratin synthesis

January 2024 in “Archives of Biological Sciences (Beograd)”

This study found that AP collagen peptides can promote hair growth by supporting the health of hair follicle cells, as they stimulate cell proliferation, counteract apoptosis, and enhance antioxidant enzyme expression, suggesting potential as a treatment for hair loss.
