30-60 / 373 resultsresearch Development of Woolly Hair and Hairlessness in a CRISPR-Engineered Mutant Mouse Model with KRT71 Mutations
Researchers made a mouse model with curly hair and hair loss by editing a gene.
research The Naked Truth: Sphynx and Devon Rex Cat Breed Mutations in KRT71
Sphynx cats are hairless and Devon Rex cats have curly hair due to specific genetic mutations.
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 Hypotrichosis Congenita (KRT71 Mutation) in Hereford Cattle in Uruguay
A KRT71 mutation in Hereford cattle in Uruguay causes thin, curly hair and scaly skin.
research Whole Exome Sequencing in Alopecia Areata Patients Identifies a Hotspot Mutation in the Type II Hair Keratin Gene, KRT82
A mutation in the KRT82 gene is significantly associated with Alopecia Areata.
research Correction of Hair Shaft Defects Through Allele-Specific Silencing of Mutant Krt75
Using special RNA to target a mutant gene fixed hair problems in mice.
research Keratin 71 Mutations: From Water Dogs to Woolly Hair
A mutation in the KRT71 gene causes a hair disorder by disrupting hair follicle structure and texture.
research Multi-Omics Analysis of Functional Substances and Expression Verification in Cashmere Fineness
The study concluded that the arachidonic acid pathway and the protein KRT79 play a role in determining the fineness of cashmere.
research Hair Greying Is Associated With Active Hair Growth
White hair grows thicker and faster than black hair due to higher activity of growth-related genes and proteins.
research Hairless Plays a Role in Formation of Inner Root Sheath via Regulation of Dlx3 Gene
Hairless protein affects hair follicle structure by regulating the Dlx3 gene.
research Complementary Evolution of Coding and Noncoding Sequence Underlies Mammalian Hairlessness
Both gene and non-gene areas of DNA evolved to make some mammals hairless.
research Isolated Autosomal Recessive Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis: Genetics, Pathogenesis, and Therapies
Topical minoxidil may help treat a rare genetic hair condition with no fully effective treatments yet.
research Transcriptome Profiling and Differential Gene Expression in Canine Microdissected Anagen and Telogen Hair Follicles and Interfollicular Epidermis
Different genes are active in dogs' hair growth and skin, similar to humans, which helps understand dog skin and hair diseases and can relate to human conditions.
research Secretory Phospholipase A2-IIA Overexpressing Mice Exhibit Cyclic Alopecia Mediated Through Aberrant Hair Shaft Differentiation and Impaired Wound Healing Response
Mice with too much sPLA₂-IIA have hair loss and poor wound healing due to abnormal hair growth and stem cell depletion.
research Early Dengue Virus Infection in Human Skin: A Cycle of Inflammation and Infectivity
Chicken feather gene mutation helps understand human hair disorders.
research Complementary Evolution of Coding and Noncoding Sequence Underlies Mammalian Hairlessness
Hairless mammals have genetic changes in both their protein-coding and regulatory sequences related to hair.
research Keratin 79 Is a PPARA Target That Is Highly Expressed by Liver Damage
Keratin 79 is linked to liver damage and may help diagnose liver diseases.
research The Genetic Basis of Dermatophytosis Skin Infection Susceptibility
Genetic factors affecting skin health and body weight may increase the risk of dermatophytosis.
research Acquired Curved Hair Is Caused by Fusion of Multiple Hair Matrix Cells
Curved hair can develop when hair cells merge abnormally during growth.
research DNA Dioxygenases Tet2/3 Regulate Gene Promoter Accessibility and Chromatin Topology in Lineage-Specific Loci to Control Keratinocyte Differentiation and Hair Growth
Tet2 and Tet3 enzymes are important for controlling hair growth and shape by affecting gene activity and DNA structure in hair follicles.
research DNA Dioxygenases Tet2/3 Regulate Gene Promoter Accessibility and Three-Dimensional Chromatin Topology in Lineage-Specific Loci to Control Hair Growth
Tet2 and Tet3 enzymes are essential for controlling hair growth by affecting DNA demethylation and gene expression in mice.
