research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin
Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.
research Shortcutting the Diagnostic Odyssey: The Multidisciplinary Program for Undiagnosed Rare Diseases in Adults (UD-PrOZA)
The UD-PrOZA program successfully diagnosed 18% of adult patients with rare diseases, often using genetic testing.
research Biallelic Variants in Lanosterol Synthase (LSS) Cause Palmoplantar Keratoderma-Congenital Alopecia Syndrome Type 2
Certain genetic changes in the LSS gene cause a rare skin and hair condition.
research Consumption of Fish Oil High-Fat Diet Induces Murine Hair Loss via Epidermal Fatty Acid Binding Protein in Skin Macrophages
Eating a high-fat fish oil diet caused mice to lose hair due to a specific immune cell activity in the skin linked to a protein called E-FABP.
research Dual-Action Icariin-Containing Thermosensitive Hydrogel for Wound Macrophage Polarization and Hair Follicle Neogenesis
The gel with icariin speeds up wound healing, reduces scarring, and helps hair growth by controlling BMP4 signaling. It also reduces inflammation and improves wound quality in mice, adapts to different wound shapes, and gradually releases icariin to aid healing. It also prevents too much collagen and myofibroblast formation during skin healing.
research Skipping of Exons by Premature Termination of Transcription and Alternative Splicing Within Intron-5 of the Sheep SCF Gene: A Novel Splice Variant
A new mRNA variant of the SCF gene in sheep skin produces a shorter, different protein.
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 Identification of Beta-Sitosterol and Stigmasterol as Possible Inhibitors of 5 Alpha-Reductase 1: An In-Silico Study
Beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol might help prevent hair loss by blocking a specific enzyme.
research Human Adipose Tissue-Derived Small Extracellular Vesicles Promote Soft Tissue Repair Through Modulating M1-To-M2 Polarization Of Macrophages
Tiny fat-derived particles can help repair soft tissues by changing immune cell types.
research Novel Compound Heterozygous Variants in the CDC6 Gene in a Russian Patient with Meier-Gorlin Syndrome
A young Russian girl with Meier-Gorlin syndrome has two new mutations in the CDC6 gene.
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 Investigation of Transcriptional Gene Profiling in Normal Murine Hair Follicular Substructures Using Next-Generation Sequencing to Provide Potential Insights into Skin Disease
Hair follicles have a more inactive cell cycle than other skin cells, which may help develop targeted therapies for skin diseases and cancer.
research Enzymes
Enzymes are classified into six types and are essential for many biological processes, with only a few targeted by drugs.
research Abstracts From The 55th European Society Of Human Genetics Conference: E-Posters
Rare ULBP3 gene changes may raise the risk of Alopecia areata, a certain FAS gene deletion could cause a dysfunctional protein in an immune disorder, and having one copy of a specific genetic deletion is okay, but two copies cause sickle cell disease.
research Astilbin Activates the Reactive Oxidative Species/PPARγ Pathway to Suppress Effector CD4+ T Cell Activities via Direct Binding With Cytochrome P450 1B1
Astilbin can potentially calm overactive immune responses, like in Type 1 Diabetes, by suppressing certain cell activities and reducing inflammation.
research Isolation and Identification of Hair Growth Potential Fraction from Active Plant Extract of Blumea Eriantha DC Grown in Western Ghat of India: In Silico Study
Blumea eriantha DC extract shows strong potential for promoting hair growth.
research Diabetes Mellitus Inhibits Hair Follicle Regeneration by Inducing Macrophage Reprogramming-Mediated Pyroptosis
Type 1 Diabetes prevents hair growth by causing cell death in hair follicles.
research Hydrogel Crosslinking Modulates Macrophages, Fibroblasts, And Their Communication During Wound Healing
Softer hydrogels help wounds heal better with less scarring.
research Decoding the Complexity of Delayed Wound Healing Following Enterococcus Faecalis Infection
