research Telogen Elongation in the Hair Cycle of ob/ob Mice
Obese mice with a leptin gene mutation have a longer resting phase in their hair cycle, which may help understand certain hair loss conditions.
research Aging and Colony-Forming Efficiency of Human Hair Follicle Keratinocytes
Aging reduces the ability of human hair follicle cells to form new cell colonies.
research Sulfation of Minoxidil by Multiple Human Cytosolic Sulfotransferases
Minoxidil breakdown varies by enzymes, affecting hair loss treatment effectiveness.
research The Effect of EGR1 on the Proliferation of Dermal Papilla Cells
Increasing EGR1 levels makes hair root cells grow faster.
research Cyproterone Acetate: A Genotoxic Carcinogen?
Cyproterone acetate may cause liver cancer at high doses, but is considered safe at recommended doses for approved uses.
research The JAK/STAT Signaling Pathway: From Bench to Clinic
The JAK/STAT pathway is important in cell processes and disease, and JAK inhibitors are promising for treating related conditions.
research Alopecia in Harlequin Mutant Mice Is Associated with Reduced AIF Protein Levels and Expression of Retroviral Elements
Harlequin mutant mice have hair loss due to low AIF protein levels and retroviral element activity.
research Three-Dimensional Reconstructions of Mechanosensory End Organs Suggest a Unifying Mechanism Underlying Dynamic, Light Touch
Dynamic, light touch is sensed through a common mechanism involving Piezo2 channels in sensory axons.
research Role of 5α-Reductase in Health and Disease
5α-reductase is essential for male sexual development and its inhibitors have potential in treating various conditions related to hormone action.
research The Promoter of an Androgen Dependent Gene in the Hamster Flank Organ
Researchers found a gene in hamsters that responds to male hormones and may be indirectly controlled by them.
research Adipokines in the Skin and Dermatological Diseases
Adipokines affect skin health and could be targeted for treating skin diseases.
research Discovery of a Transdermally Deliverable Pentapeptide for Activating AdipoR1 to Promote Hair Growth
A new small peptide may help hair growth by activating a specific receptor and should be tested in humans.
research Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors (PPARs) and PPAR Agonists: The Future in Dermatology Therapeutics?
PPAR agonists show promise for skin conditions but need more research before being a main treatment.
research The Relationships Between Ruminal Juice, Urine, Serum, and Fecal Zinc in Experimentally Zinc Deficient Ossimi Lambs
Zinc levels in body fluids can help diagnose zinc deficiency in lambs, with fecal zinc as an early indicator.
research Induction of Transforming Growth Factor-Beta 1 by Androgen Is Mediated by Reactive Oxygen Species in Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells
Androgens increase a growth factor in hair cells by creating reactive oxygen species, and antioxidants might help treat hair loss.
research Hair Follicle Dermal Cells Support Expansion of Murine and Human Embryonic and Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells and Promote Hematopoiesis in Mouse Cultures
Hair follicle cells help maintain and support stem cells and blood cell formation.
research Catalytic Antibodies in Normal and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Catalytic antibodies are early indicators and active participants in the development of systemic lupus erythematosus.
research Inhibition of Rat Alpha-Reductases by Finasteride: Evidence for Isozyme Differences in the Mechanism of Inhibition
Finasteride effectively blocks rat enzymes, but with varying methods and strength.
research Cyclooxygenases in the Skin: Pharmacological and Toxicological Implications
Blocking COX, especially COX-2, in the skin can reduce inflammation and pain and may help prevent skin cancer.
research ATP-Dependent Chromatin Remodeling During Mammalian Development
ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling complexes are crucial for gene regulation, cell differentiation, and organ development in mammals.
research Sulphation Catalyzed by the Human Cytosolic Sulphotransferases: Chemical Defense or Molecular Terrorism?
Human enzymes can detoxify harmful substances but might also increase their cancer risk.
research Functional Mapping of the Mouse Hairless Gene Promoter Region
Researchers found key regions in the mouse hairless gene that control its activity in skin and brain cells, affecting hair follicle function.
research The Disrupted Balance Between Hair Follicles and Sebaceous Glands in Hoxc13-Ablated Rabbits
Rabbits lacking the Hoxc13 gene show similar hair and skin issues to humans with ECTD-9, making them good for research on this condition.
research Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone and the Skin
CRH in the skin acts like the body's stress response system, affecting cell behavior and immune activity.
research Polymorphisms in the Human High Sulfur Hair Keratin-Associated Protein 1, KAP1, Gene Family
Genetic variations in hair keratin proteins exist but don't significantly affect hair structure.
research Asebia-2J (Scd1ab2J): A New Allele and a Model for Scarring Alopecia
The absence of functional sebaceous glands causes hair follicle destruction and scarring alopecia.
research A Japanese Case of Ichthyosis Follicularis with Atrichia and Photophobia Syndrome with an MBTPS2 Mutation
A Japanese patient with IFAP syndrome had a severe MBTPS2 gene mutation but showed milder symptoms than previously observed cases.
research Thyroid Hormone Action on Skin
Thyroid hormone affects skin health, with too little causing rough, pale skin and too much leading to smooth, thin skin, and may also impact wound healing and skin conditions.
research Biology of the Wool Follicle: An Excursion into a Unique Tissue Interaction System Waiting to Be Rediscovered
The article concludes that the wool follicle is a valuable model for studying tissue interactions and has potential for genetic improvements in wool production.
