,
August 2020 in “CRC Press eBooks” This article discusses the impact of the tabby mutation on secondary vibrissae and hair follicle patterns in mice and reports no new clinical results.
January 2017 in “NASA Technical Reports Server (NASA)” This study suggests that radiation-induced changes in FGF18 gene expression in the skin may predict later reductions in bone mass, as observed in irradiated mice.
January 2010 in “Journal of Yangzhou University” In this study, sulfated fucans promoted hair growth in mice by advancing hair follicles to anagen IV and delaying their regression to catagen, possibly through VEGF and HGF effects.
November 2023 in “Anticancer Research” The researchers reported that pulsed FUS can enhance the tumor-killing effects of cisplatin by unbinding it from albumin in cervical cancer, but further study is needed to measure its selective delivery to tumors.
