research Effects of Lifelong Testosterone Exposure on Health and Disease Using Mendelian Randomization
Higher testosterone levels can increase the risk of certain diseases like type 2 diabetes in women and prostate cancer in men, but can also protect against autoimmune diseases and hair loss. It also affects body fat and bone density.
research Co-Factors of LIM Domains (Clims/Ldb/Nli) Regulate Corneal Homeostasis and Maintenance of Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Clim proteins are essential for maintaining healthy corneas and hair follicles.
research Roles of MED1 in Quiescence of Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Maintenance of Normal Hair Cycling
MED1 is essential for normal hair growth and maintaining hair follicle stem cells.
research Characterization of the Promoter Regions of Two Sheep Keratin-Associated Protein Genes for Hair Cortex-Specific Expression
The KRTAP11-1 gene promoter is crucial for specific expression in sheep wool cortex.
research An Epistatic Effect of KRT25 on SP6 Is Involved in Curly Coat in Horses
The genes KRT25 and SP6 affect curly hair in horses, with KRT25 also causing hair loss. If both genes are mutated, the horse gets curly hair and hair loss. KRT25 can hide the effect of SP6.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cell Progeny Heal Blisters While Pausing Skin Development
When skin blisters, healing the wound is more important than growing hair, and certain stem cells mainly fix the blisters without helping hair growth.
research sPLA2-IIA Overexpression in Mice Epidermis Depletes Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Induces Differentiation Mediated Through Enhanced JNK/c-Jun Activation
Overexpression of sPLA2-IIA in mouse skin reduces hair stem cells and increases cell differentiation through JNK/c-Jun pathway activation.
research Different Ligands of the TRPV3 Cation Channel Cause Distinct Conformational Changes as Revealed by Intrinsic Tryptophan Fluorescence Quenching
Different ligands change the shape of the TRPV3 ion channel in unique ways.
research RSPO1-Mutated Keratinocytes From Palmoplantar Keratoderma Display Impaired Differentiation and Invasiveness: Implications for Squamous Cell Carcinoma Susceptibility in Patients With 46XX Disorder of Sexual Development
RSPO1 mutations in certain patients lead to skin cells that don't develop properly and are more likely to become invasive, increasing the risk of skin cancer.
research Dermal Lymphatic Dilation in a Mouse Model of Alopecia Areata
Mice with alopecia areata had wider lymphatic vessels in their skin.
research Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Impair Regeneration
White blood cells and their traps can slow down the process of new hair growth after a wound.
research Comprehensive Analysis of LncRNA AC010789.1 Delays Androgenic Alopecia Progression by Targeting MicroRNA-21 and the Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway in Hair Follicle Stem Cells
The LncRNA AC010789.1 slows down hair loss by promoting hair follicle growth and interacting with miR-21 and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
research Two Mutations at KRT74 and EDAR Synergistically Drive the Fine-Wool Production in Chinese Sheep
Two mutations in KRT74 and EDAR genes cause sheep to have finer wool.
research Presence of Uterine Leiomyomas Has No Significant Impact on Gene Expression Profile in the Scalp of Patients with Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia
Uterine leiomyomas don't significantly change gene expression in the scalp of people with Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia.
research Genome-Wide Association Study and Transcriptome Differential Expression Analysis of the Feather Rate in Shouguang Chickens
Researchers found genes linked to feather growth speed in Shouguang chickens, highlighting two genes that might explain differences in feathering.
research Author Response: Effects of Lifelong Testosterone Exposure on Health and Disease Using Mendelian Randomization
Long-term high testosterone levels can improve bone density and reduce body fat but may increase the risk of prostate cancer and high blood pressure.
research A TP63 Mutation Causes Prominent Alopecia with Mild Ectodermal Dysplasia
A TP63 gene mutation causes significant hair loss and mild skin, nail, and tooth abnormalities.
research Loss Of Dicer In Newborn Melanocytes Leads To Premature Hair Graying And Changes In Integrin Expression
Removing Dicer from pigment cells in newborn mice causes early hair graying and changes in cell migration molecules.
research Commensal Microbiome Promotes Hair Follicle Regeneration by Inducing Keratinocyte HIF-1α Signaling and Glutamine Metabolism
The skin's microbiome helps hair regrow by boosting certain cell signals and metabolism.
research Complete Pseudo-Anodontia in an Adult Woman with Pseudo-Hypoparathyroidism Type 1a: A New Additional Nonclassical Feature?
A woman with a rare hormone resistance condition also had missing teeth and hair loss, which might be new symptoms of her genetic disorder.
research Human Biallelic MFN2 Mutations Induce Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Upper Body Adipose Hyperplasia, and Suppression of Leptin Expression
MFN2 mutations cause mitochondrial problems, leading to more upper body fat and lower leptin levels.
research The Biology and Genomics of Human Hair Follicles: A Focus on Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss in Androgenetic Alopecia is caused by genetics, aging, and lifestyle, leading to hair follicle shrinkage and related health risks.
research Decision Letter: Effects of Lifelong Testosterone Exposure on Health and Disease Using Mendelian Randomization
Increased free testosterone can lead to stronger bones and less body fat but also higher risks of prostate cancer, hair loss, spine issues, and high blood pressure.
