research A human vitamin D receptor mutation causes rickets and impaired Th1/Th17 responses
This study characterized two siblings with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets and a mutation in the vitamin D receptor, finding no immune-related disorders despite a defective T cell response to vitamin D.
research Reduction of Interleukin-6 after PRP-Exosomes Treatment in A Mouse Model of Androgenetic Alopecia
This study examined a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia and found that treatment with PRP-exosomes, alone or in combination with minoxidil, led to improved hair growth and reduced IL-6 expression compared to controls.
research Chemical bonds and hair behaviour—A review
This review highlights that hair's chemical bonds, particularly disulfide bonds, are not homogeneous, as previously thought, but instead vary in response to different cosmetic treatments, suggesting a need for further exploration of ionic bonds and hydrophobic interactions.
research Construction and Activity Analysis of K14/K5 Promoter Vector Containing Luciferase Gene
This study found that the K14 promoter exhibited higher activity in skin cell lines compared to other cell lines, while both K14 and K5 promoters were active in all tested cell lines.
research Probing keratinocyte and differentiation specificity of the human K5 promoter in vitro and in transgenic mice.
This study found that as few as 90 base pairs of the K5 promoter directed keratinocyte-preferred expression in stratified epithelia, especially in epidermis, hair follicles, and tongue, showing cell type specificity.
research Abstract 3889: Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 levels affect the number of hair follicle stem cells in mouse epidermis
This study found that altering CDK4 expression in mice affects the population of keratinocyte stem cells, suggesting a correlation with susceptibility to skin papillomas.
research The mouse keratin 6 isoforms are differentially expressed in the hair follicle, footpad, tongue and activated epidermis
This study suggests that mouse keratin 6 isoforms, K6a and K6b, have overlapping but distinct expression profiles, differing notably in their expression in suprabasal cells and response to phorbol esters.
research The Tissue-dependent Keratin 19 Gene Transcription Is Regulated by GKLF/KLF4 and Sp1
This study found that the K19 promoter is active in certain gastrointestinal cancer cells and its activity is influenced by the interaction between GKLF and Sp1 transcription factors.
research Safe and easy hair transplantation utilizing KD spreader
This article describes a new instrument, the KD spreader, designed to help novice physicians perform follicular unit extraction hair transplantation with reduced trauma and operator fatigue, but it does not report new clinical results.
research 396 A novel investigator global assessment score for the evaluation of keratosis pilaris
In this study, the KPAI and KP-IGA scoring systems for assessing keratosis pilaris showed excellent interrater and intrarater reliability, offering standardized measures for clinical and research use.
research A cluster of 21 keratin-associated protein genes within introns of another gene on human chromosome 21q22.3
In this study, researchers identified a cluster of hair-specific keratin-associated protein genes within the 21q22.3 region, revealing a novel transcription mechanism involving TSPEAR/C21orf29 that may bypass typical transcriptional termination sites.
research 318 The Wnt-inhibitor Dkk4 is required for primary hair follicle induction and patterning
This study reported that Dkk4-knockout mice showed disrupted hair follicle patterning, suggesting a WNT-DKK axis may influence regional specificities in hair follicle induction related to androgenetic alopecia.
