research Macrophages Regulate Schwann Cell Maturation After Nerve Injury
Macrophages help heal nerves by aiding the maturation of Schwann cells and are important for nerve repair.
research Targeting the Wnt Pathways for Therapies
Blocking the Wnt pathway could lead to new treatments for cancer and tissue repair but requires careful development to avoid side effects.
research Integument Pattern Formation Involves Genetic and Epigenetic Controls: Feather Arrays Simulated by Digital Hormone Models
Feather patterns form through genetic and epigenetic controls, with cells self-organizing into periodic patterns.
research Convergent Genesis of an Adult Neural Crest-Like Dermal Stem Cell from Distinct Developmental Origins
Skin-derived precursors in hair follicles come from different origins but function similarly.
research Molecular Epidemiology of Hypospadias: Review of Genetic and Environmental Risk Factors
Both genes and environmental factors like chemicals may contribute to the increase in hypospadias, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research Alopecia Areata: A Comprehensive Review of Pathogenesis and Management
New treatments for Alopecia Areata show promise but need to be more effective and affordable.
research SHISA6 Confers Resistance to Differentiation-Promoting Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Mouse Spermatogenic Stem Cells
SHISA6 helps maintain certain stem cells in mouse testes by blocking signals that would otherwise cause them to differentiate.
research Hair Follicles’ Transit-Amplifying Cells Govern Concurrent Dermal Adipocyte Production Through Sonic Hedgehog
Cells in hair follicles help create fat cells in the skin by releasing a protein called Sonic Hedgehog.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase as a Novel Therapeutic Target for Schizophrenia and Other Neuropsychiatric Disorders
S5αR inhibitors might help treat schizophrenia and other mental disorders but need more research.
research Role of Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase-1 in Skin Integrity and Whole Body Energy Balance
SCD1 is crucial for skin health and overall energy balance.
research Alopecia Areata: An Update
The document concludes that alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease without a definitive cure, but treatments like corticosteroids are commonly used.
research Recent Advances in the Molecular Mechanisms Determining Tissue Sensitivity to Glucocorticoids: Novel Mutations, Circadian Rhythm, and Ligand-Induced Repression of the Human Glucocorticoid Receptor
New findings explain how genetic changes, body clocks, and certain molecules affect tissue response to stress hormones.
research FLCN, A Novel Autophagy Component, Interacts With GABARAP And Is Regulated By ULK1 Phosphorylation
The protein FLCN is involved in cellular cleanup and is regulated by ULK1.
research The Role of Smads in Skin Development
Smad-4 and Smad-7 are key in hair follicle development, with other Smads being less important.
research Stem Cell Plasticity Enables Hair Regeneration Following Lgr5+ Cell Loss
Hair can regrow after certain stem cells are lost because other stem cells can take over their role.
research Intravital Imaging of Hair Follicle Regeneration in the Mouse
Two-photon microscopy helps observe hair follicle stem cell behaviors in mice.
research Signature Selection Analysis Reveals Candidate Genes Associated With Production Traits in Iranian Sheep Breeds
Certain genes in Iranian sheep are linked to wool production and heat adaptation.
research Male Androgenetic Alopecia
DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.
research Heterozygous FOXN1 Variants Cause Low TRECs and Severe T Cell Lymphopenia, Revealing a Crucial Role of FOXN1 in Supporting Early Thymopoiesis
FOXN1 gene variants cause low T cells and immune issues from birth.
research Type 1 Interferon Signature in the Scalp Lesions of Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata shows a unique type 1 interferon signature, suggesting potential treatment by targeting this pathway.
research Novel TMEM173 Mutation and the Role of Disease-Modifying Alleles
A new mutation in the STING protein causes a range of symptoms and its severity may be affected by other genetic variations; treatment with a specific inhibitor showed improvement in one patient.
research A Preliminary Study of Finasteride in Tourette Syndrome
Finasteride reduces Tourette syndrome symptoms, but results may be limited due to potential biases.
research Genetic Basis of Alopecia Areata
More research is needed to understand the genetic causes of Alopecia areata to develop better treatments.
research SLE and Serum Complement: Causative, Concomitant or Coincidental?
Low serum complement levels in SLE patients don't always match with disease flares; monitoring C3 and C4 is useful, but cell-bound complement products might better indicate disease activity.
research Familial and Sporadic Porphyria Cutanea Tarda
Most patients with Porphyria Cutanea Tarda had skin blisters and were often affected by hepatitis C and alcohol abuse, with differences between familial and sporadic cases.
research Vitamin D Receptor Polymorphisms and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Systematic Review
The review found no clear link between vitamin D receptor gene variations and polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Evaluation of the Predictive Capacity of DNA Variants Associated with Straight Hair in Europeans
Certain DNA variants can predict straight hair in Europeans but are not highly specific.
research Assessment of the Usefulness of Dihydrotestosterone in the Diagnostics of Patients with Androgenetic Alopecia
DHT's role in hair loss is important, but measuring its level for diagnosis is questionable.
