research Integrative Analysis of Rare Copy Number Variants and Gene Expression Data in Alopecia Areata Implicates an Etiological Role for Autophagy
The research suggests that autophagy-related genes might play a role in causing alopecia areata.
research Dopa Oxidase Activity in Hair, Skin, and Ocular Melanocytes Is Increased in the Presence of Stressed Fibroblasts
Stressed fibroblasts greatly increase melanin production in hair, skin, and eye cells, mainly due to a growth factor called bFGF.
research Loss of Epidermal Melanin Unit Integrity in Human Skin During Melanoma Genesis
Melanoma development can be linked to the breakdown of skin's melanin-producing units.
research A Function for Rac1 in the Terminal Differentiation and Pigmentation of Hair
Rac1 is essential for proper hair structure and color.
research The Biology of Hair Growth
Hair growth is influenced by hormones and goes through different phases; androgens can both promote and inhibit hair growth depending on the body area.
research Evaluation of the Expression of Genes Associated with Inflammation and Apoptosis in Androgenetic Alopecia by Targeted RNA-Seq
WNT7A gene expression is higher in early stages of androgenetic alopecia, showing the role of WNT pathway, apoptosis, and inflammation in the disorder.
research Epimedium Brevicornum Maxim Extract Enhances Melanin Biosynthesis and Melanosome Biogenesis/Transfer
Epimedium extract helps increase skin pigmentation and could be a new treatment for conditions with reduced pigmentation.
research Biology of Melanocytes in Mammals
Melanocytes are important for skin and hair color and protect the skin from UV damage.
research Reversing Gray Hair: Inspiring the Development of New Therapies Through Research on Hair Pigmentation and Repigmentation Progress
Gray hair can potentially be reversed, leading to new treatments.
research Abstracts
The document reports findings on genetic research, including ethical concerns about genome editing, improved diagnosis of mitochondrial mutations, solving inherited eye diseases, confirming gene roles in epilepsy, linking a gene to aneurysms, and identifying genes associated with age-related macular degeneration.
research Human and Animal Cells Under Influence of Different Lighting and Stimuli
Different light affects cell functions and can help treat skin conditions.
research Irradiation-Induced Hair Graying in Mice: An Experimental Model to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Interventions Targeting Oxidative Stress, DNA Damage Prevention, and Cellular Senescence
Using radiation to make mice's hair turn gray helps study and find ways to prevent or reverse hair graying.
research From Hair Color to Diagnosis
Hair color is influenced by genetics and can indicate certain health conditions.
research The Distribution of Melanocytes and the Degradation of Melanosomes in Fetal Hair Follicles
Fetal hair follicles have melanocytes with melanosomes at different stages, which are broken down into pigment particles in keratinocytes.
research Skin Tissue Engineering: Potential of Stem Cell Biology and Skin Morphogenesis
Improved understanding of stem cell mechanisms can enhance skin tissue engineering.
research Beyond the Epidermal-Melanin-Unit: The Human Scalp Anagen Hair Bulb Is Home to Multiple Melanocyte Subpopulations of Variable Melanogenic Capacity
The human scalp hair bulb contains different types of melanocytes with varying abilities to produce melanin.
research Oxidative Stress in Aging of Hair
Oxidative stress contributes to hair graying and loss as we age.
research Ultrastructural Evaluation of the Radioprotective Effects of Melatonin Against X-Ray-Induced Skin Damage in Albino Rats
Melatonin may reduce skin damage caused by X-rays in rats.
research Premature Graying as a Consequence of Compromised Antioxidant Activity in Hair Bulb Melanocytes and Their Precursors
Gray hair may be caused by lower antioxidant activity in hair cells.
research Melanin Pigmentary Disorders: Treatment Update
Treatments for melanin disorders exist, but more effective options needed.
research Hair Coloration by Gene Regulation: Fact or Fiction?
Gene regulation could revolutionize hair color by altering pigmentation from within.
research Multi-Ancestry Tandem Repeat Association Study of Hair Color Using Exome-Wide Sequencing
Tandem repeats significantly influence hair color, especially darker shades, across different ancestries.
research 3,4,5-Tri-O-Caffeoylquinic Acid Promoted Hair Pigmentation Through β-Catenin and Its Target Genes
A substance called TCQA could potentially darken hair by activating certain genes and increasing melanin.
research Cutaneous Transcriptome Analysis in NIH Hairless Mice
Key genes linked to hair growth and cancer were identified in hairless mice.
research Computational Derivation of a Molecular Framework for Hair Follicle Biology from Disease Genes
The research provides a gene-based framework for hair biology, highlighting the Hippo pathway's importance and suggesting links between hair disorders, cancer pathways, and the immune system.
research Dermal Papilla Regulation of Hair Growth and Pigmentation
Dermal papilla cells are key for hair growth and color, influencing hair type and size, and their interaction with stem cells could help treat hair loss and color disorders.
research Drivers of Plateau Adaptability in Cashmere Goats Revealed by Genomic and Transcriptomic Analyses
The study found that genetic differences related to hair growth and other traits help cashmere goats adapt to high-altitude environments.
research CGF Therapy: Bridging Androgenetic Alopecia Observations to Psoriasis Treatment via IL-17 Pathway
CGF therapy may effectively treat psoriasis by reducing inflammation.
research Melanocytes and Vitiligo and Hair Graying
