research Sp6 Downregulation of Follistatin Gene Expression in Ameloblasts
Sp6 promotes tooth development by reducing follistatin levels.
research Esrp1-Regulated Splicing of Arhgef11 Isoforms Is Required for Epithelial Tight Junction Integrity
The study concluded that specific proteins are necessary to maintain the structure that holds epithelial cells tightly together.
research Integrative Analysis of Methylome and Transcriptome Reveals the Regulatory Mechanisms of Hair Follicle Morphogenesis in Cashmere Goat
DNA methylation and long non-coding RNAs are key in controlling hair growth in Cashmere goats.
research Chronic Treatment with Minoxidil Induces Elastic Fiber Neosynthesis and Functional Improvement in the Aorta of Aged Mice
Minoxidil treatment increases aorta elasticity and reduces stiffness in aged mice, potentially helping with age-related heart issues.
research Unraveling the Molecular Mechanisms of Hair and Nail Genodermatoses
Genetic discoveries are key for understanding, diagnosing, and treating inherited hair and nail disorders.
research Immunolocalization of a Histidine-Rich Epidermal Differentiation Protein in the Chicken Supports the Hypothesis of an Evolutionary Developmental Link Between the Embryonic Subperiderm and Feather Barbs and Barbules
A specific protein in chicken embryos links early skin layers to feather development.
