research Deletion of the Developmentally Essential Gene ATR in Adult Mice Leads to Age-Related Phenotypes and Stem Cell Loss
Removing the ATR gene in adult mice causes rapid aging and stem cell loss.
research Careless Talk Costs Lives: Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor Signalling and the Consequences of Pathway Malfunction
Fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling controls cell development and repair, and its malfunction can cause disorders and cancer, but it also offers potential for targeted therapies.
research Genetic Basis of Skin Appendage Development
Hair, teeth, and mammary glands develop similarly at first but use different genes later.
research Mechanical Forces in Skin Disorders
Skin problems can be caused or worsened by physical forces and pressure on the skin.
research Human FOXN1 Deficiency Is Associated with Alpha Beta Double-Negative and FoxP3 Positive T-Cell Expansions That Are Distinctly Modulated upon Thymic Transplantation
Thymic transplantation normalized some T-cells but not others, maintaining immune function.
research Sebaceous Gland Abnormalities in Fatty Acyl CoA Reductase 2 (Far2) Null Mice Result in Primary Cicatricial Alopecia
Deleting the Far2 gene in mice causes sebaceous gland issues and patchy hair loss.
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.

Genetic changes in mice help understand skin and hair disorders, aiding treatment development for acne and hair loss.
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 Ectodysplasin Signaling in Cutaneous Appendage Development: Dose, Duration, and Diversity
Ectodysplasin signaling is crucial for skin appendage development, requiring specific doses and durations.
research Cutaneous Retinoic Acid Levels Determine Hair Follicle Development And Downgrowth
The right amount of retinoic acid is essential for normal hair growth and development.
research Antiviral Drugs Prolong Survival in Murine Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa
Antiviral drugs, especially daclatasvir, may be a new treatment for a rare skin disease, improving survival and reducing symptoms in mice.
research Phenotypic Heterogeneity in Human Genetic Diseases: Ultrasensitivity-Mediated Threshold Effects as a Unifying Molecular Mechanism
Different people show different symptoms for genetic diseases because of how sensitive their bodies are to small changes in important factors.
research Cardiac Outflow Tract Septation Defects in a DiGeorge Syndrome Model Respond to Minoxidil Treatment
Minoxidil treatment improves heart defects in a DiGeorge syndrome model.
research Molecular Evolution of HR, a Gene That Regulates the Postnatal Cycle of the Hair Follicle
