research A Spontaneous Deletion Within the Desmoglein 3 Extracellular Domain of Mice Results in Hypomorphic Protein Expression, Immunodeficiency, and a Wasting Disease Phenotype
A gene deletion in mice causes weak protein, immune issues, hair loss, airway problems, and wasting disease.
research RPGRIP1L Facilitates Desmosomal Adhesion Through Suppressing PKCβII-Mediated Desmoglein Endocytosis: Implication in Pemphigus
RPGRIP1L helps skin cells stick together by blocking PKCβII, which can prevent skin blistering like in pemphigus.
research Imaging Nanoscale Changes in Desmosome Protein Organization
Desmoglein 3 organization in cell connections changes without calcium, affecting cell adhesion.
research Three-Dimensional Imaging of Tight Junction Network Across Multiple Layers of Human Epidermis by Array Tomography Using Backscattered Electron-Mode Scanning Electron Microscopy
The study found that tight junctions reach the top layer of the skin's stratum granulosum, not just the second top layer as previously thought.
research A Novel Animal Model of Desmoglein 1 (Dsg1) Deficiency Reveals an Essential Role for Dsg1 in Epidermal Barrier Formation
Dsg1 is essential for maintaining a healthy skin barrier in mice.
research Cutaneous Responses to Systemic Iron: A Potential Role for Epidermal Turnover in Mammalian Iron Excretion
Skin may help in getting rid of excess iron through the process of skin cell renewal.
research Individual Variation in Balance Between Platelet-Secreted Growth Factors Causing Contradictory Effects on Hair Follicle Could Potentially Impact Response to PRP Therapy in Patients With Scalp Hair Loss
People respond differently to hair loss treatment with PRP because of individual differences in growth factors from platelets.
research IL-9 Mediated Human Primary Keratinocytes Invasion Is Dependent on MLC Controlled Contractility and Independent of MMP Activity
IL-9 increases skin cell movement but decreases their ability to invade, and this effect is controlled by cell contractility, not by MMPs.
research Integration of Magnetic Tweezers and Traction Force Microscopy for Exploring the Mechanobiology of Keratinocyte Cell-Cell and Cell-Matrix Anchoring Junctions
The conclusion is that a new method combining magnetic tweezers and traction force microscopy may help understand skin cell interactions and diseases.
research Elevated Expression of Osteopontin Splice Variants in Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer Compared to Normal Skin and Adult Keratinocytes
Nonmelanoma skin cancers have higher levels of certain osteopontin variants than normal skin.
research MicroRNA in Skin Diseases
Certain microRNAs are linked to various skin diseases and could be used to diagnose and treat these conditions.
research Combined Deletion of the Vitamin D Receptor and Calcium-Sensing Receptor Delays Wound Re-Epithelialization
Removing vitamin D and calcium receptors in mice skin cells slows down skin wound healing.
research Biology and Genetics of Hair
The document concludes that understanding the genes and pathways involved in hair growth is crucial for developing treatments for hair diseases.
research A Novel Homozygous Variant in the DSP Gene Underlies the First Case of Non-Syndromic Form of Alopecia
A new gene variant in the DSP gene is linked to a unique type of hair loss.
research Histopathological and Ultrastructural Study of Ectodermal Dysplasia/Skin Fragility Syndrome
The study concluded that PKP1 is essential for skin integrity and hair growth, and its dysfunction causes the symptoms of ectodermal dysplasia/skin fragility syndrome.
research Topical Application of Anti-Cancer Drug Bortezomib Stimulates Proliferation of Follicular Cells and Induces Expression of Hair Keratins via GATA-3 Transcription Factor
Applying the anti-cancer drug Bortezomib to skin can promote hair growth and increase hair proteins through the GATA-3 factor.
research Independent DSG4 Frameshift Variants in Cats with Hair Shaft Dystrophy
Cats with abnormal hair had DSG4 gene changes causing hair problems.
research Keratin Function and Regulation in Tissue Homeostasis and Pathogenesis
Keratin is crucial for keeping skin cells healthy and its changes can lead to diseases and affect cell behavior.
research The Function and Structure of the Skin
The skin protects the body, regulates temperature, senses touch, and makes vitamin D.
research MOF-Mediated Histone H4 Lysine 16 Acetylation Governs Mitochondrial and Ciliary Functions by Controlling Gene Promoters
MOF controls key genes for skin development by regulating mitochondrial and ciliary functions.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research Skin: Basic Structure and Function
The skin is a complex barrier that protects the body, regulates temperature, and helps with immune responses.
research Structure and Function of the Skin
The document concludes that the skin is a complex organ providing protection, sensation, and healing, with challenges in treating conditions like itchiness.
research MOF-Mediated Histone H4 Lysine 16 Acetylation Governs Mitochondrial and Ciliary Functions by Controlling Gene Promoters
MOF controls skin development by regulating genes for mitochondria and cilia.
research Structural and Biochemical Changes Underlying a Keratoderma-Like Phenotype in Mice Lacking Suprabasal AP1 Transcription Factor Function
Inhibiting AP1 in mice skin causes structural changes and weakens the skin barrier.
research Formation of the Cornified Envelope
The cornified envelope is crucial for skin's barrier function and involves key proteins and genetic factors.
