Mutant mice help researchers understand hair growth and related genetic factors.

Hair loss from Alopecia Areata is caused by both genes and environment, with several treatments available but challenges in cost and relapse remain.

Lung repair involves both dedicated and flexible stem cells, important for developing new treatments.

Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.

The boy's severe skin disorder is caused by two new mutations in his TGM1 gene.

A WNT10A gene mutation leads to ectodermal dysplasia by disrupting cell growth and differentiation.

The conclusion is that certain genetic factors and blood types may affect COVID-19 severity, but changes in ACE2 and TMPRSS2 genes are not clearly linked to it.

Young women in West Bengal, India, with PCOS often have estrogen resistance, leptin receptor issues, folate deficiency, T2DM, and acanthosis, commonly linked to obesity.

Restoring mitochondrial function in mice reversed their skin wrinkling and hair loss.

Adam10 enzyme is crucial for healthy skin and proper Notch signaling.

Notch signaling is essential for healthy skin and hair follicle maintenance.

Dermal EZH2 controls skin cell development and hair growth in mice.

The gene Ascl4 is not necessary for the development of hair, teeth, or mammary glands.

Overactive Wnt signaling in mouse skin stem cells causes acne-like cysts and shrinking oil glands, which some treatments can partially fix.

Foxp3 is crucial for regulatory T cell function, and targeting these cells may help treat immune disorders.

Environmental factors like diet and vitamin levels, especially Vitamin D, can affect autoimmune diseases differently, with lifestyle changes potentially improving outcomes.

Testosterone's effects on COVID-19 are unclear and need more research.

Removing Dicer from pigment cells in newborn mice causes early hair graying and changes in cell migration molecules.

Mutations in iRhom2 affect hair and skin in mice and are linked to esophageal cancer, with ADAM17 playing a crucial role.

Hoxc genes control hair growth through Wnt signaling.

STAT5 activation is crucial for starting the hair growth phase.

Patients with Systemic Sclerosis have much higher levels of GDF-15, which could help predict organ involvement and guide treatment.

Oncogenic K-ras causes rapid cancerous changes in the mouth's lining.

Adult mice with CBS deficiency show minimal health issues and normal lifespan despite high homocysteine levels.

Light therapy may improve eye conditions by stimulating cell activity and increasing oxygen availability.

A protein called EGFR protects hair follicle stem cells, and when it's disrupted, hair follicles can be damaged, but blocking certain pathways can restore hair growth.

Vav2 changes how hair follicle stem cells' genes work as they age, which might improve regeneration but also raise cancer risk.

Narrowband UVB treatment increases certain gene expressions in psoriasis skin and improves symptoms.

Male hormones and their receptors play a key role in hair loss and skin health, with potential new treatments being explored.

Keeping β-catenin levels high in mammary cells disrupts their development and branching.
