research Region-Specific Reversal of Epidermal Planar Polarity in the Rosette Fancy Mouse
Hair follicles in the back of the rosette fancy mouse have reversed orientations due to a gene mutation.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Vitamin D Receptor: New Assignments for an Already Busy Receptor
The vitamin D receptor is involved in multiple body functions beyond calcium regulation, including immune response and rapid reactions not related to gene activity.
