research Regulatory Mutations in TBX3 Disrupt Asymmetric Hair Pigmentation That Underlies Dun Camouflage Color in Horses
Mutations in TBX3 cause horses to have more even hair color instead of Dun camouflage.
research Uncovering the Role of UV Exposure History and Genetics in Determining Skin Sun Damage
UV photography can help identify people at higher risk for skin cancer, and male pattern baldness at age 45 is linked to a higher risk of certain skin cancers.
research Melanocytes and Vitiligo and Hair Graying
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
research SOX4 Is Essential for Melanoma Tumorigenesis
SOX4 is crucial for the development of melanoma.
research The Genetics of Human Skin Disease
Genetic research has advanced our understanding of skin diseases, but complex conditions require an integrative approach for deeper insight.
research Understanding Cancer Cells of Origin in Cutaneous Tumors
The document concludes that identifying the specific cells where skin cancers begin is important for creating better prevention, detection, and treatment methods.
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 Asian Hair: A Review of Structures, Properties, and Distinctive Disorders
Asian hair is generally straight and thick, with unique disorders and properties, and more research is needed to understand it fully.
research Targeted Therapy in Melanoma
New treatments for advanced skin cancer are improving patient outcomes, but drug resistance and finding the right treatment combinations are still big challenges.
research Piecing Together the Pigment-Type Switching Puzzle
The document concludes that MGRN1 affects mouse fur color by interfering with a receptor's signaling, but its full role in the body is still unknown.
research A Cross-Sectional Study of Clinical, Dermoscopic, Histopathological, and Molecular Patterns of Scalp Melanoma in Patients With or Without Androgenetic Alopecia
