Hair loss involves immune responses, inflammation, and disrupted signaling pathways.
research Skin Transcriptome Reveals the Intrinsic Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Hair Follicle Cycling in Cashmere Goats Under Natural and Shortened Photoperiod Conditions
Changing light exposure can affect hair growth timing in goats, possibly due to a key gene, CSDC2.
research Impaired LEF1 Activation Accelerates iPSC-Derived Keratinocytes Differentiation in Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome
Faulty LEF1 activation causes faster skin cell differentiation in premature aging syndrome.
research Alopecia in a Viable Phospholipase C Delta 1 and Phospholipase C Delta 3 Double Mutant
Mutations in Plcd1 and Plcd3 together cause severe hair loss in mice.
research Mapping of a Novel Locus for Keratosis Follicularis Squamosa on Chromosome 7p14.3–7p12.1
A new gene location for Keratosis follicularis squamosa was found on chromosome 7p14.3-7p12.1.
research Towards a Molecular Understanding of Hair Loss and Its Treatment
Future hair loss treatments should aim to extend hair growth, reactivate resting follicles, reverse shrinkage, and possibly create new follicles, with gene therapy showing promise.
research Developmental Genetics of Color Pattern Establishment in Cats
Cat color patterns are determined early in development by gene expression and epidermal changes, with the Dickkopf 4 gene playing a crucial role.
research Melanoma: Genetic Abnormalities, Tumor Progression, Clonal Evolution, And Tumor-Initiating Cells
Melanoma's complexity requires personalized treatments due to key genetic mutations and tumor-initiating cells.
research Recently Identified Forms of Epidermolysis Bullosa
Three new types of a skin blistering disease were found, caused by specific gene mutations.
research The Catalog of Human Hair Keratins
Human hair is made up of different keratins, some strong and some weak, with specific types appearing at various stages of hair growth.
research WNT Signaling in the Control of Hair Growth and Structure
The research shows that a gene called Wnt3 affects hair growth and structure, causing short hair and balding when overactive.
research Characterization and Chromosomal Localization of Human Hair-Specific Keratin Genes and Comparative Expression During the Hair Growth Cycle
Two specific hair keratin genes are active during hair growth and decline as hair transitions to rest.
research Genetic Variation in the Ovine KAP22-1 Gene and Its Effect on Wool Traits in Egyptian Sheep
Certain genetic changes in the KAP22-1 gene are linked to better wool quality in Egyptian sheep.
research The Intragenic mRNA-microRNA Regulatory Network During Telogen-Anagen Hair Follicle Transition in the Cashmere Goat
The research found that a complex gene network, controlled by microRNAs, is important for hair growth in cashmere goats.
research Treatment of Monilethrix with Oral Minoxidil
Oral minoxidil shows promise in treating monilethrix-related hair loss.
research Epidermal Expression of the Truncated Prelamin A Causing Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome: Effects on Keratinocytes, Hair, and Skin
Progerin affects cell shape but not hair or skin in mice.
research Uncombable Hair Syndrome and Beyond
Uncombable hair syndrome causes frizzy hair and can affect the nervous system, eyes, and ears, often co-occurring with other hair, skin, nail, and teeth conditions, and is linked to three specific gene mutations.
research Keratins in Health and Cancer: More Than Mere Epithelial Cell Markers
Keratins help protect cells, aid in cancer diagnosis, and influence cancer behavior and treatment.
research Monilethrix: A Rare Inherited Hair Shaft Disorder in Siblings
Monilethrix is a genetic hair disorder causing fragile, beaded hair with no effective treatment.
research Epidermal PPARγ Is a Key Homeostatic Regulator of Cutaneous Inflammation and Barrier Function in Mouse Skin
PPARγ is essential for maintaining healthy skin, controlling inflammation, and ensuring proper skin barrier function.
research Topical L-Thyroxine: The Cinderella Among Hormones Waiting to Dance on the Floor of Dermatological Therapy?
Topical L-thyroxine may help with wound healing and hair growth but should be used short-term due to potential risks.
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 An Epistatic Effect of KRT25 on SP6 Is Involved in Curly Coat in Horses
The genes KRT25 and SP6 affect curly hair in horses, with KRT25 also causing hair loss. If both genes are mutated, the horse gets curly hair and hair loss. KRT25 can hide the effect of SP6.
research Cornification
Cornification is the process where living skin cells die to create a protective barrier, and problems with it can cause skin diseases.
research Genetically Modified Laboratory Mice with Sebaceous Glands Abnormalities
Genetic changes in mice help understand skin and hair disorders, aiding treatment development for acne and hair loss.
research Monilethrix: A Rare Hereditary Condition
Monilethrix is a rare genetic hair disorder that's hard to treat.
