research Crystallization and Preliminary X-Ray Analysis of the Human Androgen Receptor Ligand-Binding Domain with a Coactivator-Like Peptide and Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators
Scientists successfully created and analyzed the structure of a part of the human androgen receptor with specific modulators and a peptide to understand how it binds differently in various tissues.
research Ligand-Independent Vitamin D Receptor Actions Essential for Keratinocyte Homeostasis in the Skin
This study highlights the crucial role of ligand-independent actions of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in maintaining hair cycle and skin homeostasis. In VDR-KO rats, which lack the VDR gene, there is significant alopecia and skin abnormalities, including hyperkeratosis and increased trans-epidermal water loss. In contrast, rats with a mutant VDR (R270L/H301Q) that cannot bind ligands do not exhibit these issues, indicating that VDR's non-liganded actions are essential. The study found that VDR-KO rats have altered gene and protein expression, particularly in the Shh, Wnt, and Bmp signaling pathways, with decreased hair keratins and increased epidermal keratins. These findings underscore the importance of non-liganded VDR in keratinocyte differentiation, proliferation, and cell death in hair follicles and the epidermis.
research Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals Candidate Ligand-Receptor Pairs and Signaling Networks Mediating Intercellular Communication between Hair Matrix Cells and Dermal Papilla Cells from Cashmere Goats
The research identified key molecules that help hair matrix and dermal papilla cells communicate and influence hair growth in cashmere goats.
research Ligand-Independent Actions of Vitamin D Receptor
The vitamin D receptor helps maintain hair and bone health even without binding vitamin D.
research Ligand-Dependent Wnt Signaling Attenuates Mechanotransduction and Protects Against Wound Occlusion-Mediated Abolishment of Hair Follicle Regeneration
