research Heterozygous FOXN1 Variants Cause Low TRECs and Severe T Cell Lymphopenia, Revealing a Crucial Role of FOXN1 in Supporting Early Thymopoiesis
FOXN1 gene variants cause low T cells and immune issues from birth.
research LPA3, A Unique G Protein-Coupled Receptor For Lysophosphatidic Acid
LPA3 is crucial for embryo implantation and links LPA to prostaglandin signaling.
research The Role of R-Spondins and Their Receptors in Bone Metabolism
R-spondins and their receptors help increase bone growth and may be used to treat bone loss diseases.
research Identification of an Intronic Regulatory Element Necessary for Tissue-Specific Expression of Foxn1 in Thymic Epithelial Cells
A specific DNA region is crucial for Foxn1 gene expression in thymus cells but not in hair follicles.
research The Notch Intracellular Domain Has an RBPj-Independent Role During Mouse Hair Follicular Development
The Notch signaling pathway helps in mouse hair development through a noncanonical mechanism that does not rely on RBPj or transcription.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase 2 Deficiency Leads to Reduced Dominance-Related and Impulse-Control Behaviors
Mice lacking steroid 5α-reductase 2 show less aggression and better impulse control.
research Ppp2r2a Knockout Mice Reveal That Protein Phosphatase 2A Regulatory Subunit, PP2A-B55α, Is an Essential Regulator of Neuronal and Epidermal Embryonic Development
The PP2A-B55α protein is essential for brain and skin development in embryos.
research Celsr1 And Celsr2 Exhibit Distinct Adhesive Interactions And Contributions To Planar Cell Polarity
Celsr1 is crucial for skin cell alignment, while Celsr2 has little effect on this process.
research Variable Expressivity of Syndromic BMP4-Related Eye, Brain, and Digital Anomalies: A Review of the Literature and Description of Three New Cases
BMP4-related anomalies can cause a wide range of eye, brain, and hand/foot problems, and new cases show this variability.
research Cell Death as an Architect of Adult Skin Stem Cell Niches
Cell death shapes skin stem cell environments, affecting inflammation, repair, and cancer.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cell Progeny Heal Blisters While Pausing Skin Development
Skin healing from blisters can delay hair growth as stem cells focus on repairing skin over developing hair.
research The Fraser Complex Proteins Can Form Anchoring Cords Without AMACO at the Dermal-Epidermal Junction of Mouse Skin
Certain skin proteins can form anchoring structures without the protein AMACO.
research Identification of Dkk4 as a Target of Eda-A1/Edar Pathway Reveals an Unexpected Role of Ectodysplasin as Inhibitor of Wnt Signaling in Ectodermal Placodes
Ectodysplasin inhibits Wnt signaling to help form hair follicles.
research Neuregulin3 Alters Cell Fate in the Epidermis and Mammary Gland
Neuregulin3 affects cell development in the skin and mammary glands.
research Ectodysplasin Signaling in Cutaneous Appendage Development: Dose, Duration, and Diversity
Ectodysplasin signaling is crucial for skin appendage development, requiring specific doses and durations.
research Ptch2 Is a Potential Regulator of Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Ptch2 plays a key role in controlling stem cell function and the ability to regenerate after birth.
research Epidermal Growth Factor as a Biological Switch in Hair Growth Cycle
EGF controls hair growth by regulating hair follicles' growth phases.
research Primary Follicular Dystrophy With Scarring Dermatitis in C57BL/6 Mouse Substrains Resembles Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia in Humans
Certain mouse strains develop a skin condition similar to a human hair loss disease due to genetic defects.
research Distinct Developmental Functions of Prostasin (CAP1/PRSS8) Zymogen and Activated Prostasin
Prostasin has two roles in skin: one for normal skin development without needing activation, and another for proper hair growth that requires activation.
research Mice Lacking the Epidermal Retinol Dehydrogenases SDR16C5 and SDR16C6 Display Accelerated Hair Growth and Enlarged Meibomian Glands
Mice without certain skin enzymes have faster hair growth and bigger eye glands.
research EGFR Controls Hair Shaft Differentiation in a p53-Independent Manner
EGFR helps control how hair grows and forms without needing p53 protein.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cell Progeny Heal Blisters While Pausing Skin Development
When skin blisters, healing the wound is more important than growing hair, and certain stem cells mainly fix the blisters without helping hair growth.
research Recent Advances in Neuropeptide-Related Omics and Gene Editing: Spotlight on NPY and Somatostatin and Their Roles in Growth and Food Intake of Fish
New tools show that in fish, NPY increases feeding and somatostatin decreases it.
research Early Skin Biopsy Is Helpful for the Diagnosis and Management of Neonatal and Infantile Erythrodermas
Early skin biopsy helps diagnose and manage severe skin conditions in babies.
research Secondary Cicatricial and Other Permanent Alopecias
The document concludes that permanent hair loss conditions are complex, require early specific treatments, and "secondary permanent alopecias" might be a more accurate term than "secondary cicatricial alopecia."
research Molecular Evolution of HR, a Gene That Regulates the Postnatal Cycle of the Hair Follicle
Changes in the HR gene have influenced hair growth and may lead to hair loss conditions in humans.
research WNT10A Promotes an Invasive and Self-Renewing Phenotype in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
WNT10A helps esophageal cancer cells spread and keep renewing themselves.
research What Does Acne Genetics Teach Us About Disease Pathogenesis?
