Certain proteins and their receptors are more active during the growth phase of human hair and could be targeted to treat hair disorders.
research A Comparison of Transcriptomic Patterns Measured in the Skin of Chinese Fine and Coarse Wool Sheep Breeds
Fine wool sheep have more genes for wool quality, while coarse wool sheep have more for skin and muscle traits.
research Candidate SNP Markers of Reproductive Potential Predicted by Significant Change in Affinity of TATA-Binding Protein for Human Gene Promoters
Certain genetic markers linked to reproductive potential were identified by their impact on a protein's ability to bind to genes.
research Oxidative Modification in Human Hair: The Effect of the Levels of Cu (II) Ions, UV Exposure and Hair Pigmentation
Reducing copper (II) ion levels in hair can decrease hair damage.
research Characterization and Causal Investigations of an Alopecia Syndrome in Australian Fur Seals (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus)
Young female Australian fur seals are losing hair due to low tyrosine and zinc levels and high pollution exposure.
research Skin Hyperpigmentation and Increased Angiogenesis Secondary to Vitamin B12 Deficiency in a Young Vegetarian Woman
Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause skin darkening and increased blood vessels, but treatment can improve symptoms.
research Mrp4, A New Mitogen-Regulated Protein/Proliferin Gene; Unique in This Gene Family for Its Expression in the Adult Mouse Tail and Ear

research Comparative Proteomic Analysis in Scar-Free Skin Regeneration in Acomys Cahirinus and Scarring Mus Musculus
The African spiny mouse heals skin without scarring due to different protein activity compared to the common house mouse, which heals with scarring.
research Hair Restoration in Androgenetic Alopecia: Looking Beyond Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Hair Transplantation
Alternative treatments show promise for hair growth beyond traditional methods.
research Identification of a Cyclosporine-Specific P450 Hydroxylase Gene Through Targeted Cytochrome P450 Complement Disruption in Sebekia Benihana
A gene in Sebekia benihana, CYP-sb21, is needed for a specific reaction on the drug Cyclosporine A, which could be important for hair growth without affecting the immune system.
