Lower SMAD2/3 activation predicts more severe skin cancer.
research Autophagy Critically Controls Skin Inflammation and Apoptosis-Induced Stem Cell Activation
Autophagy helps control skin inflammation and cancer responses and regulates hair growth by affecting stem cell activity.
research miR-29a-5p Inhibits Prenatal Hair Placode Formation Through Targeting EDAR by ceRNA Regulatory Network
miR-29a-5p prevents the formation of early hair structures by targeting a gene important for hair growth and is regulated by a complex network involving lncRNA627.1.
research Abstracts
Get head MRI for babies with achondroplasia early, use free immunoglobulin light chains to detect certain neurodevelopmental disorders, and video calls work for speech therapy in patients with facial anomalies.
research The Role of Tight Junctions in Skin Barrier Function and Dermal Absorption
Tight junctions are key for skin protection and controlling what gets absorbed or passes through the skin.
research Fatal Autoimmunity Results from the Conditional Deletion of Snai2 and Snai3
Deleting Snai2 and Snai3 causes fatal autoimmunity.

Progeroid mouse models show signs of early aging similar to humans, helping us understand aging better.
research RANKL Induces Organized Lymph Node Growth by Stromal Cell Proliferation
RANKL causes lymph nodes to grow by making certain cells multiply.
research Responses of Hair Follicle–Associated Structures to Loss of Planar Cell Polarity Signaling
Loss of Fz6 disrupts hair follicle and associated structures' orientation.
research Sex-Specific Difference of Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity in Response to Sex Neurosteroids
Sex neurosteroids cause different effects on hippocampal synaptic plasticity in males and females.
research Activin Controls Skin Morphogenesis and Wound Repair Predominantly via Stromal Cells and in a Concentration-Dependent Manner via Keratinocytes
Activin helps skin growth and healing mainly through stromal cells and affects keratinocytes based on its amount.
research Evaluation of Retinal Changes in Women with Different Phenotypes of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS have distinct retinal changes compared to healthy women.
research Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1: Enhancing Patient Management Through Genetic and Multisystem Studies
There is no cure for myotonic dystrophy type 1, so treatment focuses on managing symptoms and complications.
research The Autoimmune Regulator (AIRE), Defective in Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathy-Candidiasis-Ectodermal Dystrophy Patients, Is Expressed in Human Epidermal and Follicular Keratinocytes and Associates With the Intermediate Filament Protein Cytokeratin 17

research Molecular Genetic Characteristics of the Hoxc13 Gene and Association Analysis of Wool Traits
Hoxc13 gene affects wool length in Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep.
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.
