Mutations in the SRD5A3 gene cause a new type of glycosylation disorder by blocking the production of a molecule necessary for protein glycosylation.
research Morpho-Regulation of Ectodermal Organs
Modulating BMP activity changes the number, size, shape, and type of ectodermal organs.
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 Diversification and Specialization of Touch Receptors in Skin
Skin has specialized touch receptors that can tell different sensations apart.
research WNT10A Promotes an Invasive and Self-Renewing Phenotype in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
WNT10A helps esophageal cancer cells spread and keep renewing themselves.
research Conditional Activin Receptor Type 1B (Acvr1b) Knockout Mice Reveal Hair Loss Abnormality

research Human TSC2-Null Fibroblast-Like Cells Induce Hair Follicle Neogenesis and Hamartoma Morphogenesis
Cells from a skin condition can create new hair follicles and similar growths in mice, and a specific treatment can reduce these effects.
research The Regeneration of Caudal Epidermal Specializations in Lygodactylus Picturatus Keniensis (Gekkonidae, Lacertilia)
Lizards can regrow their tail scales with the same structure, distribution, and gender-specific features as the original ones, and this unique ability is not seen in adult mammals.
research Comparative Study on Seasonal Hair Follicle Cycling by Analysis of the Transcriptomes from Cashmere and Milk Goats
Cashmere and milk goats have different hair growth cycles and gene expressions, which could help improve wool production.
research Sex-Specific Difference of Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity in Response to Sex Neurosteroids
Sex neurosteroids cause different effects on hippocampal synaptic plasticity in males and females.
research The TOR–Auxin Connection Upstream of Root Hair Growth
High energy boosts root hair growth in plants, while low energy stops it.
research Analysis of the FGF Gene Family Provides Insights into Aquatic Adaptation in Cetaceans
Whale genes show changes that help them live in water, like less hair and better flippers.
research The Role of the SLC39A Family of Zinc Transporters in Zinc Homeostasis in Skin
Certain zinc transporters are essential for healthy skin and managing zinc in the body could help treat skin problems.
research Androgens Trigger Different Growth Responses in Genetically Identical Human Hair Follicles in Organ Culture Reflecting Their Epigenetic Diversity in Life
Male hormones cause different growth in identical human hair follicles due to their unique epigenetic characteristics.
research Epidermal Growth Factor, Innovation and Safety
Recombinant human epidermal growth factor is versatile, effective, and safe for long-term skin and mucosal treatments.
research Potential Factors Contributing to Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness may be caused by factors like poor blood circulation, scalp tension, stress, and hormonal imbalances, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research Skin Biology
Current therapies cannot fully regenerate adult skin without scars; more research is needed for scar-free healing.
