research CaBP1 and 2 Enable Sustained CaV1.3 Calcium Currents and Synaptic Transmission in Inner Hair Cells
CaBP1 and CaBP2 are important for continuous hearing by preventing inactivation of calcium currents in ear cells, with CaBP2 also able to restore hearing when reintroduced.
research Deletion of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor Prolyl 4-Hydroxylase 2 in FoxD1-Lineage Mesenchymal Cells Leads to Congenital Truncal Alopecia
Removing a specific gene in certain skin cells causes hair loss in mice by disrupting hair follicle development.
research Sept4/ARTS Regulates Stem Cell Apoptosis and Skin Regeneration
Mice without the Sept4/ARTS gene heal wounds better due to more stem cells that don't die easily.
research CaBP1 and 2 Enable Sustained CaV1.3 Calcium Currents and Synaptic Transmission in Inner Hair Cells
CaBP1 and CaBP2 are important for maintaining hearing by supporting continuous calcium currents and nerve signaling in the ear.
research Primary Cilia Regulate Meibomian Glands Development and Dimensions Without Impairing Lipid Composition of the Meibum
