30 / 699 results research Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex: A Paradigm for Disorders of Tissue Fragility
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex causes easily blistered skin due to faulty skin cell proteins, leading to new treatment ideas.
research Genetics of Structural Hair Disorders
The document concludes that over 500 genes are linked to hair disorders and this knowledge is important for creating new treatments.
research APCDD1 Is a Novel Wnt Inhibitor Mutated in Hereditary Hypotrichosis Simplex
A gene called APCDD1, which controls hair growth, is found to be faulty in a type of hair loss called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.
research Activator Protein-1 Activity Regulates Epithelial Tumor Cell Identity
Inhibiting AP-1 changes skin tumor types and affects tumor cell identity.
research Signaling Involved in Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Development
The conclusion is that proper signaling is crucial for hair growth and development, and errors can lead to cancer or hair loss.
research Pathogenesis and Clinical Features of Alopecia in Epidermolysis Bullosa: A Systematic Review
Alopecia in patients with epidermolysis bullosa varies in severity and is often caused by skin blistering or trauma.
research Natural Course of Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex with Mottled Pigmentation in a Japanese Family with the p.P25L Mutation in KRT5
The p.P25L mutation in the KRT5 gene causes a rare skin condition that worsens over time and may lead to hair loss starting in young adulthood.
research Epithelial Loss of Mitochondrial Oxidative Phosphorylation Leads to Disturbed Enamel and Impaired Dentin Matrix Formation in Postnatal Developed Mouse Incisor
Mitochondrial problems in tooth cells lead to bad enamel and dentin development in mice.
research Molecular Principles of Hair Follicle Induction and Morphogenesis
Hair follicle development is controlled by interactions between skin tissues and specific molecular signals.
research Planar Cell Polarity-Dependent and Independent Functions in the Emergence of Tissue-Scale Hair Follicle Patterns
Mice can correct hair follicle orientation without certain genes, but proper overall alignment needs those genes.
research Cell Death by Cornification
Cornification is how skin cells die to form the protective outer layer of skin, hair, and nails.
research Concise Review: Wnt Signaling Pathways in Skin Development and Epidermal Stem Cells
Wnt signaling is crucial for skin development and hair growth.
research Dynamic Regulation of Retinoic Acid-Binding Proteins in Developing, Adult, and Neoplastic Skin Reveals Roles for β-Catenin and Notch Signaling
Retinoic acid-binding proteins in skin are regulated by β-catenin and Notch signalling.
research Glucocorticoid and Sex Hormone Receptors: Clinical Implications and Therapeutic Relevance
Glucocorticoids and sex hormones affect skin health, with potential for targeted treatments to minimize side effects and treat skin conditions.
research Hairy Tale of Signaling in Hair Follicle Development and Cycling
Hair growth and development are controlled by specific signaling pathways.
research Genetic Basis of Skin Appendage Development
Hair, teeth, and mammary glands develop similarly at first but use different genes later.
research WNT Signaling in the Control of Hair Growth and Structure
The research shows that a gene called Wnt3 affects hair growth and structure, causing short hair and balding when overactive.
research P63 Targeted Deletion Under the FOXN1 Promoter Disrupts Pre- and Post-Natal Thymus Development, Function, and Maintenance, and Induces Severe Hair Loss
Deleting the p63 gene in certain cells causes problems in thymus development and severe hair loss in mice.
research Hair Follicle Aging Is Driven by Transepidermal Elimination of Stem Cells via COL17A1 Proteolysis
Hair loss and aging are caused by the breakdown of a key protein in hair stem cells.
research Deciphering the Functions of the Hair Follicle Infundibulum in Skin Physiology and Disease
The hair follicle infundibulum plays a key role in skin health and disease, and understanding it better could lead to new skin disease treatments.
research Gene-Knockout Mice With Abnormal Epidermal and Hair Follicular Development
Knocking out certain genes in mice helps understand skin and hair growth problems.
research Antisense Oligonucleotide Targeting Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor-1 Stimulates Cellular Activity of Hair Follicles in an In Vitro Organ Culture System
