research Non-Canonical Dimerization of the Androgen Receptor and Other Nuclear Receptors: Implications for Human Disease
Mutations in certain receptors can cause diseases and offer new treatment options.
research Analysis of Hidradenitis Suppurativa-Linked Mutations in Four Genes and the Effects of PSEN1-P242LfsX11 on Cytokine and Chemokine Expression in Macrophages
The document concludes that certain mutations may contribute to the inflammation in hidradenitis suppurativa and suggests that targeting TNFα could be a treatment strategy.
research Discoid Lupus Alopecia Complicated by Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia on a Background of Androgenetic Alopecia
Woman has discoid lupus, frontal fibrosing, and androgenetic alopecia.
research Nuclear Factor I-C Regulates TGF-β-dependent Hair Follicle Cycling
Nuclear Factor I-C is important for controlling hair growth by affecting the TGF-β1 pathway.
research Safe Selection of Genetically Manipulated Human Primary Keratinocytes with Very High Growth Potential Using CD24
Researchers found a safe and effective way to pick genetically modified skin cells with high growth potential using CD24.
research Testosterone Levels in Relation to Oral Contraceptive Use and the Androgen Receptor CAG and GGC Length Polymorphisms in Healthy Young Women
Oral contraceptives lower testosterone levels in women, especially those with certain genetic traits, and may be linked to increased breast cancer risk.
research Regulation of Receptor Binding Specificity of FGF9 by an Autoinhibitory Homodimerization
FGF9 controls which receptors it binds to through a process where two FGF9 molecules join, and changes in FGF9 can lead to incorrect receptor activation.
research Androgen Receptor in Rat Liver: Characterization and Separation from a Male-Specific Estrogen-Binding Protein
Male rats have androgen receptors in their liver, which are different from proteins that bind estrogen.
