research A Monoclonal Antibody Established from the Immunization of Basal Cell Carcinoma Tissues Reacts to the Intercellular Space of Basal Cell Carcinoma and Hair Follicles
The antibody created from BCC tissues reacts similarly to both BCC and hair follicles, suggesting BCC may come from hair follicle cells.
research A Rare Case of Cardiocutaneous Syndrome in a Young Child
A child with skin and tooth symptoms was found to have a genetic mutation causing cardiocutaneous syndrome, leading to heart problems.
research Using the Frog Embryonic Epidermis as a Model to Study Desmosome Function During Development
Frog skin cells need the protein desmoplakin for proper development and cell layer formation.
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 Transcriptome Profiling of Pilosebaceous Units in Male Androgenetic Alopecia Reveals Altered Junctional Networks
Hair loss in male pattern baldness is linked to changes in specific genes and proteins that affect hair growth and scalp health.
research Imaging Nanoscale Changes in Desmosome Protein Organization
Desmoglein 3 organization in cell connections changes without calcium, affecting cell adhesion.
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 Beyond Expectations: The Role of Keratin Intermediate Filament Proteins in Epidermal Integrity
Keratin proteins are crucial for healthy skin, but mutations can cause skin disorders with no effective treatments yet.
research Multifunctional Merkel Cells: Their Roles in Electromagnetic Reception, Fingerprint Formation, Reiki, Epigenetic Inheritance, and Hair Form
