research Prediction of Gain-of-Function and Loss-of-Function Mutations Using Combined Annotation Dependent Depletion
C-scores can help predict gain-of-function and loss-of-function mutations.
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 Clinical Exome Sequencing Unveils the Genetic Landscape of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Focusing on Lean and Obese Phenotypes: Implications for Cost-Effective Diagnosis and Personalized Treatment
Young women in West Bengal, India, with PCOS often have estrogen resistance, leptin receptor issues, folate deficiency, T2DM, and acanthosis, commonly linked to obesity.
research Trajectory of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Derived Neural Progenitor Cells Differentiation into Dermal Papilla-Like Cells and Their Characteristics
