research A Novel In Vivo Active Pemphigus Model Targeting Desmoglein 1 and Desmoglein 3: A Tool Representing All Pemphigus Variants
New mouse models of Pemphigus show severe symptoms and need better treatments.
research Localized Hypotrichosis Type 1 Due to Intragenic Deletion of Exons 5-8 in Desmoglein Gene in a Neonate from Indian Family
A baby from an Indian family had a rare genetic disorder causing no scalp or body hair due to a specific gene deletion.
research Suprabasal Desmoglein 3 Expression in the Epidermis of Transgenic Mice Results in Hyperproliferation and Abnormal Differentiation
Overexpressing Dsg3 in mice skin causes excessive cell growth and abnormal skin development.
research The Lanceolate Hair Rat Phenotype Results from a Missense Mutation in a Calcium Coordinating Site of the Desmoglein 4 Gene
A gene mutation causes lanceolate hair in rats by disrupting hair shaft integrity.
research Desmoglein 4 Mutations Underlie Localized Autosomal Recessive Hypotrichosis in Humans, Mice, and Rats
