Researchers created a mouse with the same mutation as humans with trichothiodystrophy, showing similar symptoms and confirming the condition is due to defects in DNA repair and gene activity.

Keratin proteins are increasingly recognized as important for cell health and are linked to many diseases.

Innate lymphoid cells help control skin bacteria by regulating sebaceous glands.

Intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes are crucial for gut immunity and maintaining the mucosal barrier.

Overexpressing follistatin in mice delays wound healing and reduces scar size.

Hair growth and development are controlled by specific signaling pathways.

Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs) are important for tissue repair and regeneration, influencing cell behavior and other factors involved in healing, and are crucial in processes like wound healing, bone repair, and hair growth.

Cantú syndrome is caused by mutations in the ABCC9 gene.

Human skin acts like a hormone-producing organ, making and managing various hormones important for skin and hair health.

Cannabinoids may help treat various skin conditions.

Mutations in the Vitamin D receptor gene can cause hair loss similar to mutations in the Hairless gene.

Altering SSAT affects fat metabolism and body fat in mice.

Scarless healing is complex and influenced by genetics and environment, while better understanding could improve scar treatment.

Shift work disrupts the body's natural clock, leading to health problems.

Certain immune cells in the skin release a protein that stops hair growth by keeping hair stem cells inactive.
