Research
60-90 / 1000+ results research Independent Genomewide Screens Identify the Tumor Suppressor VTRNA2-1 as a Human Epiallele Responsive to Periconceptional Environment
The environment around the time of conception can change the VTRNA2-1 gene in a way that lasts for years and may affect disease risk.
research The Immune Functions of Keratinocytes in Skin Wound Healing
Keratinocytes help heal skin wounds by interacting with immune cells and producing substances that kill pathogens.
research Tregs: Where We Are and What Comes Next?
The conclusion is that Treg-targeted therapies have potential, but more knowledge of Treg biology is needed for effective treatments, including for cancer.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Epithelial Skin Biology: Stem Cells and Epidermal Homeostasis
The document concludes that while significant progress has been made in understanding skin biology and stem cells, more research is needed to fully understand their interactions with their environment.
research Pharmacologic Interventions in Aging Hair
Minoxidil and Finasteride are effective for male baldness; more research is needed for hair aging treatments.
research Alopecia Areata: Animal Models
Alopecia areata is influenced by genetics and immune system factors, and better understanding could improve treatments.
research Androgen Action in the Ovary
Androgens are important for normal ovarian function and estrogen production, but may not be the main cause of follicle death.
research GWAS for Male-Pattern Baldness Identifies 71 Susceptibility Loci Explaining 38% of the Risk
Researchers found 71 genetic regions linked to male pattern baldness, which account for 38% of its genetic risk.
research Do Changes in Chromosomes Cause Aging?
Chromosomal changes, including those in the WRN gene and rDNA, may significantly contribute to aging.
research Exploring the Drug Repurposing Versatility of Valproic Acid as a Multifunctional Regulator of Innate and Adaptive Immune Cells
Valproic Acid could potentially be used to treat immune-related conditions due to its ability to modify immune cell functions.
research Principles and Mechanisms of Regeneration in the Mouse Model for Wound-Induced Hair Follicle Neogenesis
Mice can grow new hair follicles after skin wounds through a process not involving existing hair stem cells, but requiring more research to understand fully.
research Animal Models and the Developmental Origins of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Increasing Evidence for the Role of Androgens in Programming Reproductive and Metabolic Dysfunction
High levels of androgens during early development may cause PCOS-like symptoms.
