research The Association Between HDAC9 Gene Polymorphisms and Stroke Risk in the Chinese Population: A Meta-Analysis
Certain variations of the HDAC9 gene can increase or decrease stroke risk in the Chinese population.
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 Regulation of Mitochondrial Oxidative Metabolism by Tumor Suppressor FLCN
The tumor suppressor gene FLCN affects mitochondrial function and energy use in cells.
research Mutations in the Desmoglein 4 Gene Are Associated with Monilethrix-Like Congenital Hypotrichosis
Mutations in the DSG4 gene can cause a rare hair disorder similar to monilethrix.
research Testosterone Levels in Relation to Oral Contraceptive Use and the Androgen Receptor CAG and GGC Length Polymorphisms in Healthy Young Women
Oral contraceptives lower testosterone levels in women, especially those with certain genetic traits, and may be linked to increased breast cancer risk.
research Site of Beige and Leaden Pigment Gene Expression Determined by Recombinant Embryonic Skin Grafts and Aggregation Mouse Chimaeras Employing Sash Homozygotes
Beige and leaden pigment genes act within melanocytes, affecting pigment patterns.
research Analysis of Gene Expression Patterns and Levels in Maize Hybrids and Their Parents
Maize hybrids show better early growth due to complex gene interactions from their parent strains.
research Cardiac Biopsy in Myocarditis
Some people have a genetic variation that makes them less effective at breaking down drugs.
research Alopecia Areata Susceptibility Variant Identified by MHC Risk Haplotype Sequencing Reproduces Symptomatic Patched Hair Loss in Mice
A gene variant causes patched hair loss in mice, similar to alopecia areata in humans.
research Alopecia Areata: A Tissue-Specific Autoimmune Disease of the Hair Follicle
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss due to the immune system attacking hair follicles, often influenced by genetics and stress.
research Cell-Type-Specific Chromatin States Differentially Prime Squamous Cell Carcinoma Tumor-Initiating Cells for Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition
Different types of skin cells have unique genetic markers that affect how likely they are to spread cancer.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
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.
research Development and Homeostasis of the Sebaceous Gland
The document concludes that understanding the sebaceous gland's development and function is key to addressing related skin diseases and aging effects.
research A PAX1 Enhancer Locus Is Associated With Susceptibility to Idiopathic Scoliosis in Females
A genetic region near the PAX1 gene is linked to a higher risk of scoliosis in females.
research Differentiation of Mouse Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells into a Multipotent Keratinocyte Lineage
Scientists turned mouse stem cells into skin cells that can grow into skin layers and structures.
research Keratin 79 Identifies a Novel Population of Migratory Epithelial Cells That Initiates Hair Canal Morphogenesis and Regeneration
Keratin 79 marks a new group of cells that are key for creating and repairing the hair follicle's structure.
research Endogenous Retinoids in the Hair Follicle and Sebaceous Gland
Maintaining the right amount of retinoic acid is crucial for healthy hair and skin.
research Genome-Wide Meta-Analysis Implicates Mediators of Hair Follicle Development and Morphogenesis in Risk for Severe Acne
Genetic variations affecting skin structure play a key role in severe acne.
research Carriers of 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency Are Not at Increased Risk for Hyperandrogenism
People who carry the 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency gene are not more likely to have excessive male hormone levels.
research Responses of Hair Follicle–Associated Structures to Loss of Planar Cell Polarity Signaling
Loss of Fz6 disrupts hair follicle and associated structures' orientation.
research Somatostatin Expression in Human Hair Follicles and Its Potential Role in Immune Privilege
Somatostatin may help protect hair follicles from immune attacks.
research Molecular Genetics of Keratinization Disorders: What's New About Ichthyosis
Over 67 genes linked to ichthyosis help improve diagnosis and treatment.
research DMBA/TPA Treatment Is Necessary for Basal Cell Carcinoma Formation from Patched Deficient Epidermal Cells in Ptch Flox/Flox CD4Cre +/- Mice
Genetic mutation and carcinogen treatment are both needed for skin cancer to develop in these specific mice.
research Alopecia in Harlequin Mutant Mice Is Associated with Reduced AIF Protein Levels and Expression of Retroviral Elements
Harlequin mutant mice have hair loss due to low AIF protein levels and retroviral element activity.
research Neural Crest Cells Give Rise to Non-Myogenic Mesenchymal Tissue in the Adult Murid Ear Pinna
Certain cells in the adult mouse ear come from cranial neural crest cells, but muscle and hair cells do not.
research Extracellular Vesicles From 3D Cultured Dermal Papilla Cells Improve Wound Healing Via Krüppel-Like Factor 4/Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A-Driven Angiogenesis
Tiny particles from 3D-grown skin cells speed up wound healing by promoting blood vessel growth.
research Cross-Species Amplification of Human Microsatellite Markers in Pig-Tailed and Stump-Tailed Macaques
Some human genetic markers work for genetic studies in pig-tailed and stump-tailed macaques, which can help in their conservation.
research Intermittent Nitrate Transdermal Therapy
